I am just happy they are responsive to the playerbase, or at least act like they are... Alot of beta testers simply get shot down even when they are making very important bug discoveries and such( ie SWTOR) So keep up the good work and I am looking foward to a smooth launch eventually

Really I wanted to post something a lot worse than this with a lot of cussing and ranting, but instead I'll be more mature about it.

I have the feeling that the beta test is becoming a "Founders" only club. Which really is what most game publishers are doing these days, charging for an invite to the closed beta.

Really this is the first time I've seen more beta invites sent out since before the founders pack went on sale. But only 500 went out and most of them were those that have bought the "founders package".

So really how many players got invites that didn't buy the "founders package"? 50 to 100 ? If that many..
Really I'd be surprised if it was anymore than that...

But hey their game and they decide who gets an invite or not...

Have fun to the ones that got invites!

Later

About 2000 people got in before the founders pack. The next Wave of invites on July 10th will have 500 random founders among the many random non-founders.

Weekly Review – June 29nd
And another week comes to a close. We started with the Ask The Devs 8 – Answers, followed by our striking Desktop Wallpaper 4, then the PC Gamer interview with Russ about Frozen City, and of course the amazing Weekly Screenshot 9, and then the very popular Frozen City video. After that, Russ announced that 500 Founders members would be getting Beta invites.
So, all that said, a great week to be sure! (Share your thoughts on the new map with us on the forums and stay tuned for more MechWarrior Online news.) We hope you got into our Beta, and if not, we hope you do the next time. This is clearly an on-going process.
We will add more users to the Beta as hardware allows, and we really do thank you for your patience. We’ll have more big news in the coming weeks (and months), so stay with us: There’s a lot more MechWarrior to Come!
Cheers,
The MechWarrior Online Team

To test the game, not so important, "as much as you paid." Otherwise, run the test does not have 500 people, and all those hundreds of thousands, or how much it paid for already? An important component of personal data are well - such as the characteristics of a computer, the presence of the joystick, and the like ... So the selection is certainly still on them. In the end - there is still a stress test, and certainly such a place all people who have filed requests to participate in the beta test. I hope ...
