I can't help it. I've had my profile at %100 for a couple weeks and know I don't have chance of getting in before inception is released but I still check my beta status and email at least three times a day.

So what's the deal with closed beta anyways? How long do people get access for? How often do they add new players?

In my humble opinion:

The closed beta is a way of testing the game and the hardware.

It's probably closed so 1: nobody publicly says bad things about this newborn baby. 2: so any competitors don't get to ride the coattails of PGI.

Length of access is under NDA, but it's reasonable to assume that it's relatively permanent, so the servers can be increasingly load tested.

New players are added at fairly close to the rate that invites are sent out, which is to say, probably as fast as they can, since they're undoubtedly hoping to have tens of thousands of people playing simultaneously, and they'll want to make sure the servers and network providers can handle it. Otherwise launch day could flop, and make a bad first impression.

So fear not, In my humble opinion, the devs are going to add ALL of us as fast as they can, simply for the sake of testing. Money is made by them on addons, founders packs, and game currency. This REQUIRES people to be playing.

People like us. Who are here posting after midnight, when we should be in bed.

So they are adding more players on a fairly regular basis? That's pretty cool.

So... why didn't the devs just make 3rd party hosted dedicated servers again?
(rather than their inhouse dedicated servers which is going to be *lots* of fun for them...)

[Absy]

Must be a looooot of people in the Beta pool....

because they dont want rampant cheating or no heat unlimited ammo servers. in house = they can track all the player metrics and make sure people arent trying to abuse and break the game. 3rd party servers lead to debauchery and foul cheating that turns off your player base.

[Vilekon]

Good stream of closed beta keys coming out hope the servers are taking it well.
