Anyone else got really excited from today's news? It seems really well written/composed, really informative (no dates yet but we can live with that), confirmation of an open beta at some point, localized versions. Thanks to Team 5 and Zeriyah for the news.

(I'm gonna guess beta in 2-3 weeks. GUESSING.)

I'm surprised no one has thought of this. I for one I'm very interested in making a bit of a monetary purchase now. Not because I care about having a gold copy of Gelbin Mekkatorque but because I could disenchant him


The golden Gelbin Mekkatorque card that you acquire through the beta will not be disenchantable.

"We’re pleased to reveal that that gift will be a golden version of Gelbin Mekkatorque, which will be available throughout the closed and open beta tests. When you purchase card packs or an Arena ticket in any phase of the beta test, you will be granted the golden Gelbin Mekkatorque; he won't be available through crafting or getting a lucky hit inside a card pack. Once the game has released, you can still craft a regular Mekkatorque if you save up enough arcane dust."

1) Available to be acquired? only those who make a purchase during beta will ever have this card. Not deleted upon game release.

2) Available to be used? only those who make a purchase during beta can get this card. Deleted upon release, and then anyone can get this card.

I believe #1 is more likely because a later sentence says that the regular version of Mekkatorque will still be available.


Gelbin Mekkatorque will not be deleted upon game release. You can acquire him at any stage of the beta - closed or open. Anyone that wants him should be able to get him at some point before the beta is over.
