Last night I received a magical email inviting me to participate in the Hearthstone beta test. I quickly signed in to the battle.net site and downloaded the new battle.net client. That small download didn’t work properly when I started it. A quick visit to the forums let me know that I needed to update either Starcrat 2 or World of Warcraft, which would update the battle.net files already on my machine, then run the Hearthstone installer. That seemed to work and I started the 1.3GB download of Hearthstone itself. It’s a beta, so I’m ok with that little hiccup.
