Don't freak out about beta.. Its really normal for invites to be sent out over a number of days even weeks. I would not be surprised if after the first 1000 invites they may do more as a stress test or to get a larger pool of testers

Lol, I would have thought the best stress test would have been to give out the beta keys last week so you had 1000+ playing over the 3+ day memorial weekend... you would be guaranteed max participation over a long weekend.

Not to mention that those of us not in NA will be lucky to get in the 3rd or 4th wave. Thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

100,000 BUT that doesn't mean the chances (Even if random) are only 1%

Those that haven't been keeping up probably haven't filled out the beta app, or uploaded the specs.

If anything I noticed you can no longer upload specs.. so I am wondering if those that didnt upload thier specs wont get a chance to get it an all..? If that's the case you can figure those getting invites will be those that have been here the last few days and filled out all the appropriate items I.E. the Specs AND the questionnaire). That would mean the pool is a LOT smaller than the 100,000 number.

exactly my hope....prolly won't get in anyways....but hope springs eternal...and they already said would add more as it goes...so maybe....

Hopefully some people will get some invites this coming week starting on Monday to add more players.

Those invited into the Beta are under NDA. They are not permitted to disclose any information. So don't expect to see a bunch of I'm in the beta posts, pictures, or video.

The first phase of invites are going out now. We are sending out 1,000 invites over the next 7 days.

Patience is a virtue.

Not everyone will make it into the first phase of Closed Beta. Filling out the form to 100% completion will improve your chances.

Please do not PM me for access. Or any other staff member. This is frowned upon.

I dont suppose whimpering and begging uncontrolably will help? Bribes? My wife makes great no bake cookies!

[Velba]

Here's to hoping!!

Man, anybody can make great no-bake cookies. You don't even have to bake them! It's right there in the name!

[Madcat75]

Would a "gift" of cookies help my chances .

But I enjoy sending Paul random Pony pics. So you mean (tear) I have to stop posting PONIES!!!

Question: I have no idea if my system specs submitted correctly -- I tried to do it, initially, when things were wonky 2 days ago. Is there any way to check to make sure specs are correctly in your profile?

[SaberShark]

Are there any ways to identify players from beta screenshots they post? On some other forums I go to there are some members that are spilling the beans and breaking their NDA's already.

[Pusspuss]

I will wait patiently.

It's like playing the lottery, except if I win I'm going to lose the next month of my life. At least it will be an enjoyable month.

I dont like the sound of that. An IRL friend of mine played the same numbers for 30 years before she finaly won big time.

30 years is a long wait, and she probably spent half her earnings on 30yrs worth of tickets

just saying!

[RangerOne]

Looking forward to it

Hopefully clarifying (correct me if I'm wrong)

First Round Closed Beta (1000 users) - May 25th (We are here)
(Second, Third, etc.) Round Closed Beta (?) - Unknown Date (Unknown if there will even be a second, assumed due to phrase 'first round beta')
Founder Package Availability - June 19th (purchase of Veteran/Elite package allows access to Last Stage Closed Beta)
Last Stage Closed Beta - July 17th (Founders gain access to Beta)
Game goes Gold - Unknown Date (Game becomes available to all as F2P, Beta ends)

I THINK that's how it might play out... But don't quote me! *Disables future poster's quote buttons*

1000 members online and 1000 keys. Only if that was true.

Thanks for the info, Bryan. Also, do we get some sign if we don't get picked like "rejected"?


Thank you for the answer and the game.

I dont think i could bear seeing a 'Rejected' bar ...

And to those lucky enough to get INTO Beta...

You are bound by NDA...

Does that mean we have to be 18+ years old to get in right now?
