Proud of the DIII community

Hi all. Nobody knows me, but I've been a lurker of this site since it was founded. Used to post in D2 beta times... but then not so much.

Just thought I'd post the result of a question I asked a known Blizzard employee on reddit.com (Working on the Titan project). I'm not going to name them as that would be daft, but I asked them how many people have bugged them for a f&f beta invite. I was immensely surprised to find that the answer was zero.

So... how many redditors have bugged you for a blizzard f&f Diablo3 beta test invite?
Actually none have! My employment isn't that well known apparently. :)

We only get five though and mine were spoken for immediately. Plus they can't go to people in the industry, press, or fan/community sites, sadly.

As their employment with Blizzard is fairly well known around the community despite what they say, I thought it showed great restraint and respect for their position by the Diablo community. so qudos to all of you :)

How do you know if someone is a redditor?
Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Seriously, /circlejerk. No one cares.

Yeah, give me their user name and I will destroy your claim of restraint and respect!

j/k, I don't care about beta THAT much.

I realise this post would be dubious based upon the age of this account, and the fact I kept the employee anonymous. Feel free to be skeptical.

Just thought it was a feel good story I could share.

Actually, come to think of it, why were you asking about F&F invites in the first place? Sounds like you were begging for an invite to me.

Thanks for effort anyway!

theaverageidiot - I was just interested if people were bugging this reasonably well known employee just because he was a member of an online community outside of Blizzard. I cannot lie and say I wasn't secretly hoping for a bit of the action, but that was a secondary motive.

chrisek - Perhaps this would better serve in the general forum? Just figured it was beta related, so beta forum should be where it went?

wow way to jump down his throat everyone... geez. give the guy a break, he was just sharing. not sure why anyone had a problem w/ this post.
