If you haven't recieved your invite, look here.

[Serotriptomine]

It's possible not all the emails are out yet. There were a lot being sent. -JSmed

Email me at [email protected] and I'll have it looked at. - JSmed


[[If you are [I]NOT subscribed to PS1 as of 8AM today PDT, you need to make sure you've also signed up for beta, vets will not have their accounts flagged automatically.]]


This is a "see how it goes" kind of thing. Also not disclosing who's in what wave. It's just going to be "another wave" - JSmed


There are a lot of them (vets) so it's going to be in waves (invites) over the next 2-3 weeks likely. - JSmed


[[Next wave will (mostlikely) be vets and misc keys with no ETA on when it (the wave) will be sent]]


Hope this helps anyone having issues. [ ] = me talking

UPDATE #1

@j_smedley I can't stop pressing F5 for beta invite...think my keyboard is gonna break!
@Cheezeman56 they were sent out hours ago. if you don't have it now you likely aren't a current PS1 sub.

INFO #1

I would also like to suggest that anyone without an email still checks www.planetside2.com/download

Good information for those who need it, i applaud you :)

John Smedley ‏@j_smedley

servers should be up within 2 hours. slight delay due to fixing a last minute issue that came up. nothing to see here...

You now have 2 more hours to receive your invites before you're late!

[frunction]

Mine just opened up about 15 minutes ago.

My advice is to be patient if you have active/vet status.

[Goku]

Good info here.

[Serotriptomine]

Thankyou Goku. I'll be keeping this up to date with relevant information and hopefully it stays up top so people can resolve their issues.

Wait a sec... That better not mean that vets are getting in over the next month, but no (or very few) key-holders are. I was under the impression that key-holders could expect to start getting in by, or at the beginning of, week 3.

[Serotriptomine]

That was from JSmedley.

Active Subscribers as of 8AM PDT, Today are in NOW.
"Vets" (Anyone who has subscribed at anytime to PS1 before 8AM PDT, Today (but weren't active) will be let in, in waves OVER the next 2-3 weeks.

Twitter / PCGamer keys will start being let in AT 2-3 weeks.
Of course he said they will not specify exactly the % of vets / key holders that will be sent each wave.

"When should Twitter key holders expect to get in?"

2-3 weeks (ish). depends on how things go in the beta. I can't stress enough that this is an actual "let's find bugs" beta. "

Great... delivery a bunch of useless key to make marketing. And exclude who really are intrested in the game for a bunch of 2 day vets. Many vets dont sign up for the beta that show how intrested they are.

I want see this lets find bug full of vets with his friends try to find the best way to faceroll and get and edge at lunch.

Cry more maybe?

Wow,my faith in humanity drops with every sodding game!

[Serotriptomine]

I can not stress enough that you should all check the planetside2.com/download link and log in with your account that hasn't gotten the invite / email to see if you're in.

[Lord Paladin]

Mine says I have an active PS2 account, but when I click the "download now" link, it forwards me to a page that says "We already have your beta registration info" etc...

:( It's taunting me!!!

Mine too

Smed just said that EU beta starts at 6am. So i guess we just wait? Anyone from UK or Europe got an email?

[Timithos]

How does smedley handle all this communication? Does he have a staff that works his email and twitter? It says he's President of SOE for crying out loud! He's pretty awesome!

[Serotriptomine]

The way I look at it, I think er, whatever U.S. servers they have are 2PM-10PM PST, and the EU servers are up @ 6AM-3PM PST. :)

[Hamma]

He's doing every one of his own tweets ;)

[Crator]

Smed is tweet happy! He's got a twitchy trigger finger on that thing! :rofl:

[james]

So pc gamers keys may be in a month great job guys.

[Hunterzen]

Good post thanks for the info. Hoping the next wave for yearly vets happens within the next few days!

[Lord Paladin]

FYI, I was told by SoE that even though my SOE account says my status for PS2 is "active" it is meaningless.

[Infektion]

LOL I'm laughing but crying at the same time, damn SOE and their lies, real VETS get in 2-3 weeks? they can blow me, multiple times.

[Serotriptomine]

People keep misreading the information availiable.
He clearly states that OVER THE NEXT 2-3 weeks VETS will be invited in WAVES.

[Hunterzen]

Is it true that if you are a veteran you can download the launcher at this time?

[Serotriptomine]

If your account has been flagged you may download the client because you're in the Closed Beta.

If your account has not been flagged for Closed Beta, you may NOT download the client.

[Hunterzen]

If your account has been flagged you may download the client because you're in the Closed Beta.

If your account has not been flagged for Closed Beta, you may NOT download the client.

Flagged meaning you can currently test beta, or flagged meaning you are a veteran who will have access within 2-4 weeks?

[Serotriptomine]

Meaining you're IN the Closed Beta.

Even if you're a vet, you need to sign up for beta, flagging of veteran accounts will not be automatic.

[Infektion]

so am I ok, just gotta up to 3 weeks?

^^ yes

Great... delivery a bunch of useless key to make marketing. And exclude who really are intrested in the game for a bunch of 2 day vets.
Who is showing more interest in the game - someone who snatched one of the hundreds over hundreds of Twitter keys that were given out over the last few months, or someone who actually shelled out CASH to subscribe for PS1 to be in 1st line for PS2 beta?

Many vets dont sign up for the beta that show how intrested they are.
PS1 vets who didn't sign up for PS2 beta won't get in PS2 beta. Smed clearly said that PS1 vets are not auto-flagged for beta unless they have signed up.

[WWladCZ]

"When should Twitter key holders expect to get in?"

2-3 weeks (ish). depends on how things go in the beta. I can't stress enough that this is an actual "let's find bugs" beta. "

From this day or from what???

You do realize you don't actually have a right to get in beta? It's a gesture of courtesy from them.

Hell, in fact it's not even that. A beta is the exact opposite of a release in terms of services rendered. At a full release they have the responsibility to cater to your ability to play and hopefully enjoy.
In beta, you on the other hand have signed a contract you'll be beta-testing for them, so that you can help them out.

[Timithos]

From this day or from what???

Yes, from today only IF today is the day. Expect 2-4 weeks. Don't forget that outside 4th week, and I wouldn't have high expectations for 2 weeks.

[Lord Paladin]

Are we expecting more invites to go out today, or if you didn't get your e-mail yesterday you're out until the next wave?

Anyone see SOE mention that?

[Sephirex]

Since Beta failed to even start yesterday, more invites going out today seems slim.

[Lord Paladin]

This makes me curious. Since all active PS1 players are in PS2 beta... when the servers go up for PS2, do you think PS1 will have a 0 population? :P

Interesting thought. It would be a good indicator of how people like Beta by seeing how many go back to PS1.
