Star Craft 2

[jrwizbang]

Wanted to try the game out, but I am broke. Was wondering if anybody has any trial keys that I could maybe have so that I can decide if I want to buy the game or not? Thanks. If so, just PM it to me.

I have one at home (I'm at my GF's place) I'll pick it up tomorrow and send you a pm.

 

[jrwizbang]

Thank you so much!

 

[jrwizbang]

Just one question. How long is the key for? Doesn't really matter. Just wanted to know.

 

[Astlin]

You are enabled to play Starcraft 2 for 7 hours of game time or 14 days from activation.

The PM is sent and if you need another one i have an extra.

there is a new starter edition without a time limit, u get the first 5 missions plus some mp action:

this has replaced the trial edition, Entaro Adun!

You'll be happy to hear that the demo for SC2 has been replaced by a free-to-play version with no time limit. It only limits the content you have access to (limited maps, missions, etc.)

See the article here:

Well, there you go I havn't noticed that cause i havn't been playing the game for long.

 

[jrwizbang]

Well thanks for the Key anyways. I'll try it before I get the free to play one.

Okay, now I have a different problem. I downloaded the starter edition, and apparently,it was the exact same thing that I had already downloaded for the trial version, so it only took like 1 minute to download, because I didn't actually need to download it. I created a new account to use with the starter edition, and went to play. Turns out, you can't play multiplayer with the starter edition, which is all I wanted to do in the first place, and also, whenever I try to start a game vs the AI, my computer crashes, just like if it were to bluescreen. I get the buzzing noise and everything. So, I figured, I would just ask, is it worth buying?

 

[jrwizbang]

Oh and also, before that, I entered the trial code, and it FORCED me to play starter edition. Which sucks. So... yeah. I think I'm just gonna buy it.

 

[Astlin]

It is worth buying, one of the best game out there. Try read some reviews around on the internet.

 

[jrwizbang]

Yeah. I'm buying it tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for the help guys. It's appreciated.
