Bashiok:
We still needed to test connectivity and services, and having people connect from far away can cause a variety of issues due to latency, long travel distances/hops, etc. It's because it was what we needed to do to facilitate testing, and that's our priority. As much as we'd love for people to be able to check out the game, that's not the purpose of the beta test, and will likely never be given priority. That said, regional invites aren't too far away.
We give keys to fansites because it's nice to support our fansites, and we like to help send people to their sites to discover them and see what they have to offer. In addition, it can create (depending on the giveaways) more than just a random chance to get a key. In most cases there's skill involved, or by participating more you get a better chance.
We absolutely could have just kept those keys, not given them out, and added more through the opt-in. In that case you'd retain your 0.001% chance to be invited, and so good luck to you. Having keys that you can work and prove yourself toward provides a totally different way to get into the beta. That variety of entry is a good thing, but yes, it will in most cases require more than just waiting for an email to arrive in your inbox.
