:D

[Klockan]

Why would beta start today?

[Calacity]

hmm. Second I guess.

[OnexBigxHebrew]

No. Friday or Monday.

[opticalshadow]

i hope your not always this early

:D

[QuantumMechanic]

Are you guys kidding? Beta started weeks ago when Higby got his hair cut!




(no, I'm kidding)

[Xyntech]

There are two times when beta starts.

1) When Higby gets his hair cut (It has already started, technical test is just a code name).

2) Soon™

[Noctis]

added reminder, we'll keep doing today is the day each day will be told to us.
yah rly

[dafuq]

beta will start when higby gets his hair cut again

[sgtviper]

I lost a bet last time i guessed :doh: , so i'm figuring on Monday but i'll be stoked :groovy: if it hits tomorrow :-D

[dafuq]

i bet 5€ that it does not start today nor monday
they delay it again

[Noctis]

Let's bet!

[WiteBeam]

What's the point of this? We all know.
And they said Friday or Monday.

[dafuq]

Let's bet!

okay lets make a bet?

i have a "Nuclear Dawn" copy to gift away in steam

[Noctis]

What's the point of this? We all know.
And they said Friday or Monday.

Today is one of the two days, that might suit your reading better. :D

[opticalshadow]

It's still Thursday. Read a calendar.

[dafuq]

8 minutes then its friday

[Noctis]

Started early for SOE TZ of course.

[opticalshadow]

8 minutes then its friday

not at SOE it isnt.

[Atheosim]

I can't believe how excited you guys are to type up a lengthy and exhaustively detailed report every time you come across a bug! How noble.

That IS what beta is for, right?

[Snipefrag]

riiight.

Than beta won't start till Saturday morning for you eastern folk. At earliest.

[Tsunami]

So, I guess this is anticipation cause if tomorrow is the day, then no one would be here to post this thread.

[dafuq]

IM FROM THE FUTURE BITCH


loll

Some people use jets to celebrate Christmas twice.

..
:trollface

[Tsubaki]

No today is Thursday which means sometime tomorrow morning we might be lucky enough to see a email go out about beta or in another few days. Hopefully it starts up soon and hopefully theres alot to do in this beta with most if not all content unlocked.

[QuantumMechanic]

The technicial world revolves around Pacific time. Microsoft saw to that.

[dafuq]

not even 200 ppl online in ps1

seems like an 90% chance that all current subs get in this weekend (if they start the beta)

[AJay]

Valve time.

[Noctis]

Always liked the timezone images

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Standard_time_zones_of_the_world.png

Anyway to break the clock, how you think CBT will be announced?

[sgtviper]

Let's bet!

lol like i said last time i bet it didn't go so well ha

[Noctis]

lol like i said last time i bet it didn't go so well ha
What did you bet on?

[Poser]

Ugh. These forums have been reduced to utter garbage.

[Noctis]

Ugh. These forums have been reduced to utter garbage.

Relax.
You will surely relax while killing some purple dinosaur today / tomorrow.

[opticalshadow]

Ugh. These forums have been reduced to utter garbage.

well subjects are running low, any new information that can begotten is under NDA, nothing new made publicly, so yeah. were running out of things to talk about.

[AzureWatcher]

Ugh. These forums have been reduced to utter garbage.

Live and let live.

Gogo Beta Friday!

The sooner people are in, the sooner the release.

[Noctis]

Many don't get that we wiill be asked to do what the developers say during the beta, and we'll not be able to go around all the day killing, but we might have to stop during a test. I imagine a GM asking for an Aircraft fight, and some guy goes in with ground AA stuff and gets booted.

Ahah.

[Crator]

Well, first of all, it was said Friday or Monday is the day. Last I checked today is Thursday.

And it should actually read, "Today is the day: The beta starts or is announced to start SOON!"

[HeatLegend]

No. Friday or Monday.

There's a big round globe out there, some people always live quite a lot of hours ahead in the future if you know what I mean ;)

Funny how a VS lives in the past, while we live in the future.

Beta starts today in middle europe too

[Crator]

Yes, but SOE headquarters is in a time zone that says it's Thursday. You think they're going to hit the BETA ENABLED button when it's Friday in another time zone?

Anyway don't be so upset, what you think they will do once beta is released? Mails, PS2.com site update, phone calls?

[Astrok]

Actually yes. :lol::groovy::rofl::lol::groovy:

[QuantumMechanic]

I am alive with "soon"!

E-Mails will be sent out. Just like they have been doing for the past month.

[Crator]

I'm not really upset. Actually, I kind of hate this thread type... Only because it isn't certain when they will start closed beta.

[Atticus]

I just hope for you european players sake, that your prime gaming time is roughly 10PM until 6 AM your time, Tue-Sat.

[SpottyGekko]

I just hope for you european players sake, that your prime gaming time is roughly 10PM until 6 AM your time, Tue-Sat.

Believe me, that can be arranged :D

[Noctis]

Believe me, that can be arranged :D

Surely, *wakes up at 6 pm*

[CauseNEffects]

I bet it starts in the next hour, if I lose, everyone that posts owes me 1 juice box. :)

[Pepsi]

Tomorrow's the day. I'm serious this time guize.

I bet it starts in the next hour, if I lose, everyone that posts owes me 1 juice box. :)Win-win.

[IIIsicknessIII]

I'm under the impression that the beta will start tomorrow (Friday) or Monday. So pumped

[Noctis]

If not I'll make Today is the Day(3) Monday.

Promise!

[HeatLegend]

Yes, but SOE headquarters is in a time zone that says it's Thursday. You think they're going to hit the BETA ENABLED button when it's Friday in another time zone?

I didnt say anything at all about that, simply that for him it was already Friday and it will remain friday for him when it is friday for the rest of us :) So he wasn't wrong in saying today is the day (IF Beta starts Friday and not Monday).

[TheRandomAmiba]

i bet 5€ that it does not start today nor monday
they delay it again

i must disagree... you saw what happened last time i dont think they would dare do it again

[Astrok]

i must disagree... you saw what happened last time i dont think they would dare do it again

I heard some rumors they delaying this game till forgelight 2 comes out.

[PhoenixDog]

i must disagree... you saw what happened last time i dont think they would dare do it again

Fan reaction on releasing a BETA shouldn't influence things. If they release beta to thousands of people and shit breaks and we can't even get in...What's worse? I'd rather them delay it if things aren't up to code yet. Who cares what all of the self-entitled assholes think? They can complain all they want and boycott the game...They'll still get into beta at some point, and they'll still get the game after release.

[Noctis]

Vanu Guy is right.

[feuerdog]

Noctis is in Italy,.....so for him, today is friday.

[Raymac]

If not I'll make Today is the Day(3) Monday.

Promise!

Today is the Day(265)

It's going to happen this time. I can feel it in my old brittle bones.

[PhoenixDog]

Noctis is in Italy,.....so for him, today is friday.

That's fantastic. SoE is in California. Which is in PST. Which makes it 4:30pm on Thursday, August 2nd, 2012.

[Noctis]

You should see the coliseum at night, it's wonderful.

[Crator]

Pic? I want to see!

Anyone back on topic, how many hours until SOE midnight?

[Crator]

It's 5PM there right now... http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=770

[WiteBeam]

TRay just tweeted he just played with 1300 other people. Sounds like a final test before they open beta up to higher numbers.

[Crator]

Awesome news! Sounds like it might happen this time then! Getting excited for real now!

[QuantumMechanic]

1300 is still a long way away from 2000.

[Crator]

Oh ok, 1300 other threw me off.... Thought they added 1300 on top of what they already had... I didn't read the tweet just reacted to what was said.

[QuantumMechanic]

SOE account management is still giving me errors, which is odd. Been like that all day I think.

[Noctis]

Told you.

[BlueExorcist]

Monday because of the time to activate all the accounts.

[Crator]

I thinks it's more of a mass email issue then it is account enabling.

[Sephirex]

I thinks it's more of a mass email issue then it is account enabling.

Was going to say.

That kind of SQL update shouldn't be too bad.

[Vanath]

It is currently Thursday where the SOE offices are. So, no, today is not the day. Tomorrow probably won't be either.

[BlueExorcist]

We should all sleep for 4 days and hope that when we wake up the beta will commence.

[GhettoPrince]

I cancelled my sub after they added the free time, but my time doesnt run out until the 22nd, so I have no idea if that counts as a current sub or not.

Either way, I'm not spending another 15 bucks on it when PS 2 is right around the corner :(

[QuantumMechanic]

I'm in the same boat as you, GhettoPrince. I cancelled my sub last month and am riding on the free 30 days for now until the 24th. Beta had better start by then!!

I assume the 30 free days counts as "active" account time. It looks just the same in the account page...

Edit, Smed just tweeted this:

John Smedley‏@j_smedley

Looking like it's going to be Monday at 2pm for the start of Beta. still a lot of work to do tomorrow and this weekend but looking good.

[Sephirex]

Snapshot of active subs was taken when the free time started. You don't need to keep your sub running.
