If you have yet to receive your invite-a-friend email from blizzard make sure you go into your battle.net account, and click on the option: "communication preferences" Then select the check-box to receive emails from blizzard. I did this 30 minutes ago, and just now received my invite-a-friend beta key at 12:47 AM MST.

Also, my friend did the exact same thing as I did, and he just received his invite-a-friend beta key email!

**NOTE: They invite-a-friend beta keys are not active yet, so don't worry about spamming your friend until tomorrow probably, relax, and perhaps do some thinking on just who you want to invite :)

Hopefully that will do it, thanks a lot, appreciate it :)

Did you get a code in your e-mail, or did you go into your battle.net account one day and found out you where in the beta and could download the client, a la moi?

The beta was different. You signed up for that, but this is special offers and promotions.

For the record, we're not sure checking that box sends the friend invite (Although I did it too beacuse hey, why risk it?)

Ya i got it through account during 3rd wave of invites. Now im worried that the people that didn't have the communication pref check box checked & are enabling it now are too late.

I got a code in my e-mail. I have heard from others that the invite was there at least several days prior to the e-mail, though.

Coincidence guys.. People have wondered abou tthis check box and emails since beta day 1. And it's not stopped emails for people before.

They are probably emailing everyone that has an account, and that could be what.. 15-20k by now? Figuring all that stopped playing early on and so forth. That takes time. They may be sending emails well into tomorrow.

You just made the change and then happened to get your email and put the two together without any real good reason. I don't mean to be offensive.

... Y'know what, until Blizzard decides to let us know what is going on, everything is rumor and speculation.

And pancakes.

Of course this may be true, but what is the harm in clicking that little box? We don't for sure if it helps or doesn't help right? I'm simply passing on some information that I found highly coincidental, considering my friend and I both did it, and we both received our email not to long afterwords.

It's up to all of you whether or not you want to check the box, chances are that all of us in the Beta will get a chance to invite a friend.

Cheers everyone!

i would assume that if this option was not enabled it simply be in your junk mail folder, if you have one...

Looks like it's not only a post hoc ergo propter hoc huh?

Still trying to figure out what group of beta testers are getting extras.

Hadn't received one until I checked the box, and got it roughly about 20 seconds after I did so. *shrug*

I have mine checked and didn't receive one. =-( Are these supposed to go to every Beta account or just some select ones?

My friend is going to kill himself when he hears about this and I didn't get one.

My friend who also has beta did not get his.
