So the latest patch stated the Galaxy Editor is now available:
The StarCraft II Editor is now available!

   
• Players will now be able to begin creating trigger maps in preparation for map publishing which will be made available in an upcoming beta patch.

I wonder how or if I can acces it without a betakey, as this probably the thing I've waited the most for. Can anyone shed some light on this?

After Starcraft II is released will there still be a good amount of people be playing Warcraft III? I'm asking this, since I loved making maps for Warcraft III, but I'm also excited about the Galaxy Editor. Though there is a big difference between the universes of Warcraft and Starcraft in terms of atmosphere.


I tried coming up with ideas for maps for Starcraft II, but they all seem to fit better in the Warcraft universe. Maybe it's just me needing to transition between 5 years of medieval mapmaking to sci-fi. Since I can't get my hands on the Galaxy Editor, I'm now thinking of making another Warcraft III map, but the big question is: "Will there be people left who can play it?"

What do you guys think?
