Speaking of which, any idea how big it is, anyway? I'ma start the guess at 10-15 gigs.

11.4 gigs.

So everyone knows. Somethingawful forums are the ones that figured it out. They are also the ones that reported it to Higby. In fact the same posters telling everyone on SA forums how to do it, were at the same time sending Higby DMs on twitter to close down beta servers. Goon mentality doesn't have to make sense.

Actually the goons got it from twitchtv.

Just glad to know that there is a client that has been prepared for download somewhere ready for beta. Now I'm super psyched for it to start.

I. Need. My. Fix.

You sure about that? I was following the thread as they were figuring it out step by step. Never saw any mention of TwitchTV. Maybe the initial idea to [redacted]

Maybe I'm wrong then, I heard from other people.

Chinese whispers obviously.

Rumor says it's just the client used at E3? Any confirmation of this at all?

If that's true then, eh oh well. If it's a newer version of the client and is actually a beta client then...

Soon...

Smedley on the beta break:

relax. we aren't banning anyone or anything.

we are probably letting a few guys who actually reported it into beta early.

Higby said it was just the E3 version.

Then they'll be letting in early the same guys that "hacked" it and told everyone else how to do it.
Nothing like creating your own disaster and then coming in to fix it like a hero.

Lol how desperate have we gotten to try to get a hands on beta?

I don't even know how people got access to it, and what they can do with the client.

You don't always have to burn the white hats. :P

I can think of another couple of websites that would be happy to get their hands on the client early as well...

Lets hope that the devs are well aware of how quickly these certain websites tend to develop their special game specific software to sell to special gamers.

Pity that the market exists, really. Oh well... There will always be special gamers, unfortunately.
