sounds awesome, how do you get a beta key?

[Blackfire1]

They didn't say. If they so it like most games. It'll be to people with fourm accounts/activity. We still have 3 months, but it'll be like christmas in may.

This gives you an AMAZING idea at the efficiency of Piranha and PGI. It also most likely tells that they've been working on this in some form since the relaunch announcement. 50% of creation is design.

As someone else posted, you will probably wait 60 days to hear some sort of tidbit about Beta coming "Soon™"

Cool, but hardly indicative of us being granted access in 2 months.

[Thorn Hallis]

Its says "announcement within 60 days". Nothing more.

Why do I half expect Paul to pop up and mention that was a slip of the tongue. Beta won't start till next year. Then zap us all with a cattle prod while laughing.

The announcement is "And after 2 months BETA test....."



AAhh its a cruel universe out there.

[Zanga]

I smell an evil plot by Paul. He's gonna troll us all to death! YOU HEAR ME PAUL? I'm not going to be tricked by you!!

[DarkTreader]

Well, he's on right now, so... perhaps some trollololololololololololllll... is in our future

[Nerts]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-I hope it's an open beta!

[Geist Null]

dev already anounced they are playing testing...thats an alpha state. i imagine closed beta would be press, family and friends then a few months before open beta

[BenchmarK]

It's like the thrill of waiting for Starcraft II all over again.

[Cementblade]

alpha would be really buggy

Hehe. This is funny. I was asked to sign up to the site here in December so I could be contacted about getting into the Alpha. So, I came along and registered. Since then, nothing. Now I come back and hear that they are already into Aplha testing and that an announcement about Beta is 2 months away... I guess I miss out! LOL

Oh well, maybe they will contact us about beta testing....

[SilentWolff]

Yeah I got pretty excited when I read that on FB earlier. Its getting closer and closer and I've got the posse rounded up ready for the pwning!

[Maximilian Thorn]

Being a part of Beta Testing would be a nice gift from the Devs....yes, it would be so nice....but no pressure...no pressure at all...

At this point I'm pretty sure that involves murder. Or maybe some sort of grand melee. I'm envisioning a Joker style pool-cue fight to the death in large scale. Or at least that's what I would do were I the one holding the keys.

The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.
