Hey guys, I know you're all anxious for the keys so here's some more information so you can understand the process better.

In the past, Blizzard gave community sites codes and we just handed them to the winners which they would use to activate their accounts instantly. It was a very simple and straight forward process. I'm not sure why, but this time they have adopted a manual activation approach. The TL and reddit giveaways went through the same process too. So basically we give Blizzard a list of emails and then they manually activate it whenever they choose to. As far as I know, the community managers aren't sure either when exactly the accounts will get activated, as they hand the list to Blizzard HQ the moment we pass it to them.

On the Friday wave, billd_sc2 got his key (and fixed his problem). I'm not sure who else got the email but I sent the list out on Tuesday (Monday in NA) so thought most of you would get it. As someone mentioned earlier, it took two waves for Reddit/TL winners to get theirs. Even for our staff keys a month ago, only a few got it in the first wave, a few more in the second and the rest in the third. BakaInu never got this key, and I do not know why but he's the only one lol!

Anyway I've sent Blizzard another email just in case and will inform you guys of any updates. In the mean time, please be patient, they will come eventually!

Thanks for the info, its a great thing what you're doing for the SC2 community, I think people are just eager more than anything haha, I know I check this thread and my Bnet like 50 times a day hahaha, we all know it's nothing to do with you, just waiting on bliz :P

EDIT: I assume that bliz stopped giving out the codes because some people were maybe selling them? IDK just a thought

Edit: yah but bliz are Naive!
