Did anyone in here make it into beta? If so, what can you tell us w/o viloating the NDA? Can you tell us anything that would viloate the NDA? ;)

can they even tell you that they got into beta without violating it??

I'm sure nothing though. :(

You are allowed to say that you are in the beta but, you are not allowed to divulge any information.

Theres no fucking way that not ONE of the PSU community people got in the beta...

Im getting suspicious of this "50 people" crap. First off, to the SUPPOSED people that "got in", the NDA does NOT say that you can't tell anyone you're beta testing. So please, if ANYONE has got into the beta... say so.

ok, just wondering.... and if you were in beta, would you want people hounding you about it all the time?? I wouldn't tell anyone except the members of my clan if I got in (and Hamma... I'd pm hamma :))

"hound" huh?

This isn't fucking real life. No one is going to "hunt you down". It's pretty simple...

Here:
"I made it in..." - Validuz

**OMG OMG OMG*** - PS Fans

"Can you link me to the download?" - Moron1
"" - Validuz (thats called ignoring someone)
----------------------------------------------------------
"How is the beta?" - Moron2
"" - Validuz (once again, ignored)
----------------------------------------------------------
"Can you send me it or screenshots?" - Moron3
"" - Validuz (see results 1 and 2)
----------------------------------------------------------


And ALLLLLLLLLL of that.... is IF they even have a CLUE of how to contact you.

The PSU staff did NOT get into beta this round. Check this thread (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2869) for proof.

50 people out of 13,000 is a very small percentage (0.4%), and does not necessarily mean someone in the PSU community actually got in. Even if we said 1,000 people were in the PSU community, that still leaves 12,000 people who could have gotten emails instead of the 1,000 ;)

I seriously doubt that NO ONE in this ENTIRE community has made it in...

this "50 players (all gamers)" is bs... imo

I think they are serious when they say "they are gamers"(the ppl who got in), but probably buddies.

*EDIT*
I can't really blame it on them though, I guess beta testing is beta testing. And if I was a game dev and my best friend wanted in the beta process, I'd let him in;p

In short: IF they are guilty, then I'm just as guilty... lol

I STILL CANT FREAKIN WAIT!!!

So you wouldn't care wether or not you got in?

Don't you think that those who got into beta would be PLAYING right now rather than reading threads? ;)

2003-02-15, 04:53 PM
maybe they really didn't start beta yet, maybe they just said they did to get us off their backs, just a thought.:rolleyes:

Its highly posible that many of the people selected arent in the community :p

I don't think they'll be able to play before the 22.

Edit - damn beat me to it.

Regardless of wether they can play or not, they should still post here.

Smokejumper told us in IRC that he didn't care if we said we were in beta or not. I don't quite understand why the others have been so quiet but I've made it public knowledge that I was one of the 50 selected.

I will respect the others and not name names.. but I can assure you that a signifigant number of the 50 were names you would recognise from the PlanetSide community.

It's great that you are so forthcoming about your invovlement. I don't know the exact reason for people being hush-hush about taking part in the beta, but I can tell you, if I were taking part in the beta, I might want to avoid people messaging me, emailing me, and PM'ing me trying to get me to give them some info and swearing they won't tell a sole.

Beta Testers should get special titles, if they want them...

CrazyMike
2003-02-15, 09:21 PM
Well I don't want one. I don't consider myself "special", just lucky.

You could get a lucky title then. Here, have some Lucky Charms.

With only 50 people getting in, I wouldn't be surprised if only 15 or so of those are actually playing. For example, in one beta MMORPG I'm in or was in, they added approximately 8000 people in a week, on top of a population that was already at least 1000 strong. Yet they only hovered around 800 people online at any one time.

This is a controlled beta stage. They are given specific log in times. I would imagine it would be more like 40 or so playing instead of 50.

So if I complain about what the Devs are doing enough, and if I live in Europe, will I get in too? :D

The Vanu know who got in, but we are not telling the rest of you because we dislike you, and you smell funny.

So let's make up the balance, that's CrazyMike, Treize and BonnieDundee.

PSI - PSU = 3-0

oh my god they killed Hamma!

And what about that statement of not letting press members in, how the hell are they gonna explain that now :rolleyes:

Hamma
2003-02-26, 10:29 AM
What are you talking aboot? Bonnie, Mike arent press. Its more like busting the favortism rule he mentioned a few months ago rather than press.

Besides, I recently learned that in closed beta you should not even announce if you are in beta or not. :p
