Signing up for Closed Beta is putting your name into a pool. We will be selecting a set number of people from that pool. The Founders program is the only way to guarantee you'll be in Closed Beta. Everyone else is kind of in a lottery. I like to think of it as the Hunger Games!

Who do I gotta Eat to get in?

Very important clarification needed here.

The announcement says that July 17th is when Founders get into Closed Beta. All well and good. The question that is NOT answered however is this: Will there be a character wipe after Closed Beta and before release?


This question is incredibly important.

CLARIFICATION: From the concept art in another thread, it appears there are 4 Operation Inception mechs. Do we get to choose one of these 4 for the $60 Elite Package?

Is it randomly assigned, like a lottery? Or is there simply one mech, no choice? I'm rather interested to see what's what here.

You choose one

Phew! Now we can at least get familliar with the game before it comes to europe. Good to see your fast reaction on the issue

Is the system information important in the selection process?
The system profiler is not working for me. But I *know* my machine can run the game without problem.

thnx

The only thing I can state for sure at this point is that from July 17th onward there will no longer be any data wiping.

There is a thread on this, try turning off your Anti Virus

[ManDaisy]

well I dont mind, it would be kinda sucky to have redundant mechs.

[Atayu]

Thank you very much for the announcement. I have it all done and hope to get in because I am done with the last game I was playing. So I have plenty of time to help find bugs and glitch's to get the best posable game to role out on release. Hope to see you in beta.

Thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide. We may also run a similar Operation for other regions, therefore we are required to recommend that for the best play experience you register and play in your region in the near future. However There is no IP blocking. You can signup from everywhere just keep in mind that if you are outside of North America we cannot guarantee your play experience.
Thanks for being the most awesome fanbase ever, and we hope this clears up your questions.
Sincerely,
The MechWarrior Online team.

How likely is that "may" for other regions???

Is there a published, available roster of blacklisted players, or is it just scrawled on a sticky note on Paul's monitor?

Well, it should be ok, it's not like we're tiering the mechs or anything.

But still...no wipe for Go-Live....arrrgghhh! *pirate face*

Can I put my name in the hat extra times like in the Hunger Games too?

[Evgeny Bear]

So it is confirmed that we will have problems with international merc units and servers/laggs
well so far so good at least we know it... I really hope that wont kill the fun.

[ZeroCore]

I'm still stuck on one detail: does signing up for the closed beta automatically mean that you have to buy one of the two packages for the founders program (In short, does signing up for beta mean that you'll have to buy something)?

[Krubarax]

I just read that thread, and I do not think It is because of my anti-virus.
I disabled it and still get the same error.

And you did not answer my question; if the system info was important in the selection process?

anyways. Error msg looks like this:


And in case you do not read swedish, here is a quick translation:
You must first install one of the following .NET Framework if
you want to run this utilityprogam.
v4.0.30319
Kontact the utilitydistributor if you need information about what
version of .Net Framework is suitable.

Ok so let me get this straight: The Closed Beta starts tomorrows, and then it starts again on July 17th? Is it two rounds of Beta, one for paid and one from randomly picked people from the forums?

Not really, that sounds a bit sad and doesn't properly reflect the situation.
