Hearthstone Beta Test Season 1 Extended

Blizzard announced that the beta test season 1 "will continue until further notice."

In a blog post Blizzard announced that Hearthstone's beta Test Season 2 will be delayed. The post explained that players who log in after today's maintenance will discover that their rank has not changed. With the transition to Test Season 2 time unspecified.

"During today’s Hearthstone closed beta maintenance (Thursday, January 2nd), we’ve discovered some pesky sprites that are currently preventing us from properly transitioning from Test Season 1 to Test Season 2," it reads. "Due to these issues, we are extending the duration of Test Season 1 until we can ensure a smooth transition."

"When the servers come back up from maintenance today, player ranks will not have changed, and Test Season 1 will continue until further notice."

Hopefully this won't have a knock-on effect on the planned open beta, which is also due to start this month.
