They probably have sent out another set of a select few closed beta letters, or will be in a few days, otherwise I imagine not.

Culkid are you 18 and do you meet the min reqs? If yes then you have about an 80% chance of getting into open, maybe 2% chance of getting into closed if not less. If no, then no, your not getting in till release.

Im expecting my closed beta any day now (letter) :D or so me hopes, i was bored so I sighned up ,but really I dont care. if I get it I probably wont play it ,I just want to get it for free cause I assume that if you get in the closed beta you get a free copy of the release or something ?

If they do, I will be dissapointed. Neocron could afford to send me a CD for free... and they don't have anywhere near the resources of Sony...

Even if people that did get in saw this, could they even post that they did, due to the NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement)?

Not true, you can say you're in the beta. You just can't say what you're doing, what the game's like, etc. Well, you could probably say something like "This rocks!", but you get my point. However, just to say it again, you CAN announce if you're in the beta.

Bah, if they're going to put the lids on the betatesters' mouths, the least they could do is release some new media/info every week. :(
Edit: Replace "some" with "A BUTTLOAD" and you get my drift.

What ever happened to people who not only wanted to play the game for free but wanted to beta test to make the game better and improve it for everyone? Instead now we get people who are more interested in getting a free copy of the game.

Well, let's think of it this way. Beta testing is work. People get paid for work. Beta testing is fun. Some people have fun at their jobs. People who have fun at their jobs do not refuse pay. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with wanting a tip of the hat for your good deed. :D
That, and games are expensive anymore...especially monthly fee ones. :(

Unfortunately there are those who would pay 100's of dollars for the beta test just to get their PS fix. Ultimately, playing a working version of the game when it's release with be the most gratifying and big kudos to the testers who will make this happen.

I just hope they don't do what EA does. Where they give all the beta testers a mark or somehting that said. "I was in beta." It's not out of jelousy or anything, but it gets SOOO anoying when people yell "Hey shut up n00b I was in beta."
Like in Earth and Beyond. I don't play anymore but I was with the open beta and they gave you that FF mark on your ship if you wanted it and it showed you were in beta. C&C Generals does the same thing.
I can't count the number of people who have proclaimed they are soo badass in DAoC because they were in the beta.
"Oh you were in beta? WELL YOUR MAJESTY LET ME GET YOU A DRINK!"
pppttthhh...

I get that attitude in every game. "You n00b, I've played since the demo"
or "owned! n00b, I've had this since release"
My response is usually: "If playing since demo/release makes you the best, then how come I just kicked ur butt?"
It's funny when they shout off one last comment then leave :)
I didn't know that C&C Generals was doing a thing for taking part in the beta, but I did know that they are giving you a flag if you pre-ordered.
Hopefully SOE is too smart to pull crap like that. :dance:

You'll be delighted to know that the coaster fits perfectly on the mechanized drink holder built right into your PC.
