Come August, it won’t matter. Save your money and wait til then.

That’s not how you write a request… come on OP. Use this.

"Dearest Blizzard Entertainment,

I hope all is well since last we wrote. It has been a fortnight since our last correspondence and with the raging war between the two factions mail has been harder and harder to send. Yet I pray my letters find safe passage to you.

News has reached town about your latest project. You appear to be delving deep into your memories pulling out our greatest adventures. Those were fun times weren’t they? Do you recall the time dear old Leeroy went mad? He was affected by the sickness. His mind wasn’t right. It was a shame what happened to him in that dungeon.

Nights and nights pass me by as I find myself huddled by the hearth. I think of us. What we used to be. We’ve grown distant since you’ve left us here. I still reminisce about the old times. I’m sure you do as well. Thrall is coming back. A courier has just sent us news a few nights ago. It will be a marvelous experience to have him back. His wisdom was undoubtedly missed.

I hope you’re not too harsh on yourself. When you were here, with us, in the old times, we spoke so often. You were happy and kind. Now you seem distant. Perhaps it’s my fault. It often is.

I will pay the errand Gnome two gold to ensure this message gets to the proper courier. Please do write back when you receive it. I know you are busy out there in that new life. But be sure to make time for old friends, like you used to do.

Farewell, old friend,

Sincerely Palaceknight"

Dear Blizzard,

Have you seen the Sonic movie trailer? That was my doing. It was a warning, to you. If you don’t give me a beta invite, I will do something even worse to Saurfang.

Sincerely,
Travellus the Terrible

PS: Mwhuaa ha ha haa!

boolean noBetaClub = true;
int failedAttempts = 0

while(noBetaClub){
    File actual = new File("C:\Games\Battle.net");
         for( File f : actual.listFiles()){
            if(f.getName().equals("Classic"))
                   noBetaClub =false;
        }
        if(noBetaClub){
              File file = new File("C:\\Games\\Battle.net\\Battle.net Launcher.exe");
              Desktop.getDesktop().close(file);   
              Desktop.getDesktop().open(file);   
              failedAttempts++;
        }
}

Don’t ask what the current value of failedAttempts is.

Edit: This started off as me being bored as I am getting ready to leave work. But I am actually going to try and get this to work. :thinking:

Every time I look at code for Windows I laugh.

Let’s use the escape character as our path delimiter! Epic win!

It is funny but this has actually caused issues for us in some applications when executing the code from Unix vs Windows. Some of our devs hard code path delimiters vs using generic built in File.separator.
