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

Here it is. Where I found they'd be handing out beta keys over seven days. So, he contradicted himself. I'm so sad right now. I thought I'd be able to get a taste of BattleTech for the first time. Now I'll have to wait untill July 17th to play or longer. I'm going to kill myself and see if Heaven has MechWarrior: Online. I'll tell you if it does!

Best of luck and good bug hunting!

Wish luck, beta style™: "Best of luck getting your mech stuck on obstackles, getting shot through walls, getting crashes in the middle of a firefight, get graphical glitches that make everything except your cockpit invisible, falling under the ground with no means to stop the game, getting stomped by OP mechs and not getting your feedback adressed"

I've been a part of enough beats to know it's true + it kinda eases the pain of not getting in.

They obviously let the nub-iest people in for the first 1,000 so they will have a small chance when they open it to the rest of us. I can understand that.

[Deathjester]

Cool, thanks for the update, it'll give me and my f5 key a break. Congrats to our first wave of Beta testers, hope to see you soon.

Not that I have.

Yours too? Mine outright shattered.

For some reason if I enter my system info in the Beta application area provided it losses it all, so I would like to post it here for your consideration. I just heard about this from a friend in another game and have registered recently. Here is my system info for my profile.

I have multiple SATA hard drives in this particular machine, and am currently building another Machine similar to this one but running Win 7. Not sure when that will be done exactly.

OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium 64 bit version
Version 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002

Total Virtual Memory 13.9 GB
Available Virtual Memory 8.21 GB
Page File Space 6.00 GB
Page File C:\pagefile.sys
My available system memory is showing as low right now as I am running a long term Science project right now and it eats memory - I would not be running it during my testing times of course.

Please let me know if there is any other info you require to consider me for Beta testing. I am just trying to get everything setup to be ready so when I am approved I can start testing right away. I have a lot of involvement in Beta testing games and think I would be an asset in this Beta testing period.

Also some of the answers in the profile will not accept answers other then "Yes". So my answers there are not 100% correct. Thought you might want to know.

I am a disabled vet (read fixed income) with nothing but time, so I would be able to devote a fair bit of time to helping out with the Beta Testing.

Thank you for your consideration,

Crusteel

At least try out a demo of one. Mechwarrior 3, for instance.

They are going out by carrier-pigeon. They have chosen people within 7 days of flight.

There has been zero indication that this is the only wave of invites that will happen before July. In fact, Bryan's original post in this thread says otherwise.

[bert bargo]

Didnt they say that theyd be issuing 1000 over the course of a week or something?

[Magus2]

grats to ppl that got in, all i got was my awesome alt coded name changed to Magus2.... i say give me and this other magus beta entrence and let us fight for the nic... or just change my name to something else w/ warning.... the reserve your pilot name should have in fine print "To be changed to w/e we feel"
