Okay good news. Yes we switched to the full production hardware on Tuesday and things seem to be going well.

Therefore by 4pm Pacific we will be inviting all the remaining founders into Beta.

We are also working to automate the system so that anyone who buys a founders pack will get immediate access to the beta. This auto system I hope will come online today.

Keep in mind though that the injection of your Founders mechs and other rewards will happen on Aug 7th still.

Thanks for your support once again.

Update: The auto add system will be in place today. By 4pm everyone who has purchased a founders pack will be in beta and anyone who purchases one from here on out will be added immediately.

Well i guess they will just test now how it works with the founder on the servers and after everything is fine the open beta will start so just wait.

No, still closed beta

Great!

Who should be banned now for disclosing that all Founders are in Beta: Russ or all the Founders?

I hope your hardware is too powerful to be stress-tested by Founders only.

You just made lots of people very happy.

There is no decision yet as to when non founders will get into the beta. All I can promise for now is that on or before Aug 7th we will release another round of official information to update everyone on the latest plans and status of beta across the board. We are running along as fast as we possibly can to get this game released. But we won't release the game or go into the next stage until the product us ready for it.

[Russ Bullock]

Yes I think it is safe to say we can assume one aspect of the NDA no longer applies. If you have a Founders Tag next to your name it is okay to say you are in the beta

But that's it Sorry but we need to keep up the tight lips act for a few more weeks at least.

I know what I will be doing friday evening. Based in Europe so I will have to wait another workday before I get to enjoy the fun.

[Jonneh]

I support the decision to wait for public release until the game is ready.
