I am sure I did. No regrets. I think I tried just signing up first but no go.
I just wondered if that was the usual way to do it in betas. I have not done many, infact only in 3 free to pay games
and I only had to pay my way into this one. Really needed to get that pvp itch scratched so it was okay.
As did I. Back in the day, getting into a Beta (of any sort) was an honor and very difficult. The number of seats offered often numbered less than <100. Nowadays the first wave of invites is usually in the 1000's with many waves to follow, and then the Buy in phase goes into affect.
I would have paid to get into many I missed out on back then, but things were quite a bit different then as well.
