In shadowbane beta, who got accepted and who did (during the large closed beta...called open beta in planetside) was completely random, not done on a first signup, first get email basis...
That IMHO was insulting to the shadowbane followers who have been following this game for over a year.
I feel so sad when i hear about "my roomie signed upo yesterday and got in and i signed up 5 months ago and did"
PLLLEEEASSEEE dont do that to us...
.... I hate living in Maine...

We'll have 11,000 "exclusive" beta testers by the end of this week.
When we launch Open Beta (soon), we'll be adding something like 20,000 *more* testers.
Most folks will be in the game...but we simply don't have the manpower to weed through each and every application to hand-pick entries. We did that until we had about 1700 players...but it's all been batch sorting since then.
We look at system specs, geographic locations, etc. as a basis for letting folks in...not how long they've been following the game.
