Beta is obviously imminent. Just chill, relax and wait till theyre ready. You will get in, beta will probably last a long time so theres no need to panic about getting in. Whether its today, tommorro or next week time is irrelevent. Just stay calm and be ready.

From the sound of it TRay is working his ass off. Might be another week or three.
I keep telling you guys, this is how software development goes. Be patient.

I'd rather see my PS2 status changed from inactive or pending to active on my station account...

Some people have it as active, but that still doesnt mean beta access now :D
It's been saying active for me for months now.

I thought it was said that the beta date was known. Even tho Higby lied, about his hair cut and beta thing, in the video the water dude said that higby made that promise because he knew when the beta was to be released. I guess it was a range than a firm date.

Higby cut his hair as tech test started, pretty much.
Given, he said beta, not tech test. Basically they are almost the same thing, but SOE itself makes a clear distinction between the two, but I suppose he cut his hair mostly due to the tech test.

I don't think he really lied, tech test did come out shortly afterwords. I think he meant to wait til the actual beta test but his wife probably made him chop the mop.

No.
Idk y people are still herping and derping about this.
SOE has been in INTERNAL beta for a while. He cut his hair when EXTERNAL beta started. This means NON-SOE EMPLOYEES will download the game, and get in. Currently they are getting feedback from fans of the game, THAT is the milestone for them.
Im tired of seeing "Higby cut his hair and im not in the game QQ hur hurrrr..."

Most of the confusion stemmed from SOE saying that Tech Test wasn't Beta. They said this to stop too much anger from all the vets and Beta keys holders because the Beta invite system wouldn't apply yet. Technically though, it was still part of the Beta process, and Higby cut his hair.
Inconsistency always creates drama.

Ok, I can see that. But idk how people can't see the relationship between tech test/hair cut, and get over it. Put on your big boy pants people and dry the snot off your nose. The later you get in, the more polished the game will be and it'll be even a better experiance. #Lookin at the bright side

No, self-entitlement creates drama. I'm a PS1 vet and still an active one and never once cried foul because I'm not a special flower in a field of other special flowers. I'll get into beta when SoE decides to let me in. Whether first wave or not.

Inconsistency allows room for drama. Self-entitlement drives the drama forward.
Whiny entitled fan base + lack of centralized communication and facts = Nightmare

But lets keep putting the blame entirely on the fans or on SOE. Its so much easier that way.
There hasn't been any significant lack of communication.
Higby would cut his hair when beta (Later confirmed to be external testers not with SoE) starts. - That came true. The day of the hair cut was followed by external testers and the technical test phase of the beta train.
Beta will start Monday or Tuesday pending any unforseen circumstances - This may still ring true. Its still early on Monday, and they have 35 hours to still keep things going. But for all we know, a squirrel could get into the server cluster and explode, thus rendering beta to be delayed. Welcome to the world of software development. Things can happen. But until they do, beta may still start by its intended announcement.
The blame is entirely on the fans. It's people misconstruing what SoE is saying to fit their own agenda. Like when they said "A few weeks" during E3...It was 4 before the technical test started. But because it wasn't 3 or less, or because they didn't get invited, SoE lied. It's going to be the same thing with beta kicking in. If Veteran #1 doesn't get in but Veteran #2 does right away, #1 will cry foul because they think they deserve it, while SoE can only invite so many people at once or else NO ONE gets to play. Do people care or understand? No, of course not. They just think they are entitled over everyone else and fuck the restrictions or limitations behind any decisions made. Me me me me me.

Keep an eye on Smed's twitter, he will be the first to announce it.

Lack of centralized communication. There's been communication, but its been conflicting and from multiple sources. The beta priority problem was especially guilty of this. Had about a huge variety of tweets with conflicting information, and every damn group had their own tweet for their rallying banner of why they'd get in first. Smedley finally cleared it up right at the end, and then wondered why everyone was confused.
