Official FAQ Update

Twitter user @Xizta_ pointed out that Blizzard updated the official Hearthstone Beta FAQ with regards to what happens when you purchase items from the real money store. Both Card Pack purchases and Arena runs made with real money will be reimbursed in gold. Users who also help test the real money store out will receive a Golden Legendary Card when the game releases. Now, what's going on with the Hearthsteed?

Originally posted by Blizzard (Hearthstone FAQ) Will the cards I earn or purchase in the beta test carry over into the live game? What happens if I purchased beta card packs for real money? During the course of the Hearthstone closed beta, card collections will be reset, and any cards participants acquired will be removed. Following the wipe, players who made a purchase from the in-game store will receive a gold credit equivalent to their previous card pack and/or Arena purchases. Also, as a thank you for testing out the in-game store during Hearthstone’s beta phase, everyone who purchased a card pack in the beta test will receive a Golden Legendary card.

The four corners of each gameboard feature interactable objects which perform small animations and sound effects when used.
