[Hamma]

:)

Note: Please, do not apply if you are already selected for beta. Give people not selected a chance.

Thanks, the managment. :p

[Ouroboros]

WOOT!!! I get to sign up for bet... wait a minute....

[Trol]

Hey Hamma, disregard my entry. My roommate accidently registered on my PC with me logged in.

[Lillemanden]

What is it with all the "U.S. Resident only" shit!
Stop it!
You know, there is a world over here too!

[Rifle]

Kinda cheap. No spots for Canadians. Really sucks when you join an outfit way ahead of time, upgrade your comp for the game, and then get shafted in the Beta.:sick: :trrocks:

Ive seen 4 beta giveaways now, all USA.

Why is exclusive beta accepting Europeans but not open beta.

I would have thought it would be the other way round (for stress/ping testing)

[Saethan]

Exclusive is downloadable, open is being shipped...

Ok, I know, dunno why they can't make it downloadable for europeans.. but SoE's weird.

[Venoxile]

No, i don't got beta, thanks for reminding me, jerk.

[McBearclaw]

Thanks for giving some of us another shot at getting in, Hamma. :D

[Sputty]

Bastard...must be US...Well, I'm very cross with you

[DarkDragon]

Good luck to everyone. I wish they had some exclusive account giveaways so those of us already in open beta could get in early :-)

[Zatrais]

Have to be US resident?

WTF? =/

[Lanizer]

OMG...*applying as Lanizer..Lanizer1..Lanizer2...* j/k.
How come you gotta be over 13 year of age on these contest but when you register for beta on SOE it state over 18 year of age ?

Because they're lifting the NDA for the open beta? only reason i can see

[Zylos]

i hope i win, im desperate to play!

[Venoxile]

they're not lifting the nda for open beta, hamma's said this like 6 times now...

[Jimbo]

There's probably some legal mumbo jumbo that requires US citizenship. I know Earth and Beyond always got flamed for offering US only contests and such until their lawyers got things sort of worked out.

In all sincerity, I feel for you guys overseas and up North. Hope to see you all at retail.

Link?

[Hamma]

They will lift the NDA eventually.

Anyway, these rules are provided by SOE. I didnt make them up ;)

[RandoMTerroR]

Would it help if you paid the difference it costs to send the cd's overseas to europe???

Anyhow, i think it is unfair, that they only allow US citicens to get open beta....

BUT WAIT TILL THE NEXT BIG EUROPEAN GAME COMES OUT!!!

HAH THEN WE SHALL LAUGH AT ALL THE AMERICANS WHO CANT GET IN BETA!!!!


wait... there is no big game coming from european developers...

WE NEED MORE EUROPEAN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT!!1!! :tear:



dammit, curse the americans, for bieng such a big software marked...

[MushuuTerra]

Must be a U.S. Resident


What the hell is up with this s***?

[Lanizer]

If I win then I'll spare your life once or twice whenever I see you hamma ;). Hm, when will the winner be listed ?

[Hellsfire123]

Do any good games come out of europe? just curious.

For all you non-us folks, just be comforted by the knowledge that when you get the game it will be well balanced and almost bug free. Those in closed beta can get fairly large headaches for bug reports and those in closed get to see the infamous "You have be disconnected from the server" message untill they get the servers set for stress.

Besides, European and other non-US servers will start off even. No one will know what the beta and open beta people do. If you dont get in an your a US player then you can be mad, because your starting right at the beginning and everyone else will be weeks ahead.

[MushuuTerra]

Good point Hellsfire...

I don't Mind to much that their hardly letting ANY europeans into the beta..i mean when retail comes out i will be able to play in...How shall i say it...a 'Semi bug free enviroment' And even if everyone will be ahead and/or knowing more knowledge of the game than me, I'm sure they'd give all us newcomers a good helping hand? :P

There are some Euros in the exclusive beta..

Sides, your beta chars will be wiped so all you're stuck whit after beta is knowledge. But PS ain't brain surgery so i doubt it will take weeks ;)

As for games out of europe, none that i know of but Chrome, Breed and Stalker are games thats comming out soon. They're all european AFAIK. Those games look pretty sweet aswell.

AO is also european (well norwegian), didn't have a ewry good start but the game is quite good now.

Hitman, Hitman 2, Black & White, Battlefield 1942... just to name a few. Don't really know where most of the games I play come from.

Ao, Good? hah.

I have been playing that peice of crap since The Beta of it. All it has come to is 'oh I'm level 200 at last'

What now? Let's go Spawn camp some 'uber' loot to...go...and camp some more loot! Yay! :P


I cancelled 3 days ago.

Yaknow Im not really sure if there are any game pubishing houses in Europe. They dont really say "Made in US" or "Made in EU" in the game or the case (unless they do and Iv just never seen it)
But you can sometimes just pitch a guess by going on the type of game or the names of the people in the cerdits. easy to spot the asian names :)

I would like to think that a few good games have been made in europe.

[MushuuTerra]

Hamma, I'm Not saying it yours or any PSU Admins fault..Im merely Angry at Sony for being such bitchs ;)

Or you could just look at the developer (publisher isn't that importent since it's proberly based on where taxes are lowerst...), and then find out where they're based.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Bravo, Hamma. Of course, I was expecting my open beta cd's to come in by next week, but... if "winners" are to be selected by April 16th then it would seem that the open beta wait is a little longer than some of us have anticipated.

[Lanizer]

Quit spamming emotion icon to get your post count up hamma! Btw, Any future plan to add # of post below the name on the left column ?

Europe..all their gamer went to U.S ^^. You know you can alway ask a relative in U.S. to sign up..then send! :)

[McBearclaw]

Mafia was Czechoslovakian, I believe, and I thought that was a fantastic game.

/me says BOOOOOO to Sony, europe i can understand since it's far away but why the hell would they not include Canada ? It's like right there!

:nazi:

[Jaged]

They forgot Canada exicted.

[�io]

Yeah that's true, we do exicted a lot though.

:lol:

[Ginzue]

Yay! This will give me a chance to get into Beta cuz my old app had my hacked email on it, YAY!

[Tolvy]

I'm so glad I'm an American. :D

[Ginzue]

Ya :lol: I though being an ameracain was bad untill now :D
I still hate this country though.

[Daddyo]

Hay guys, whats goin on in this thr




no beta for me. :(

[Prowler]

Gl guys! :cool: US > *

[Seer]

Jeez, Euros.. open beta won't be that long. At least PS will have a server in Europe--if they didn't, that would be something to complain about.

[Synergy]

would signing up multiple accts to try to get in on this be looked down upon? you dont understand how bad i want in this, i just upgraded my computer even more just for this game. if it is looked down upon i wont do it just want to know

[Lanizer]

Signing up using multiple account is foul plays. Of course you can try entering at planet stratics.

[Navaron]

UBI Soft people?

[Novac]

This sucks bigtime!!
When do we get a competition for Europeans only, huh??
US... US, Canada or Mexico... US again... Why make a Europe Server if they don't want us in the game??

Makeing Euro only competitions is not the way.
Makeing world wide competitions is the way!

Easy to say when your not livin' over here...
And just because it wont be long (or will it...) dosn't make it bit more fair. There's just no reason for not at least letting Europeans download the beta.

And Europe isn't that far away.

[mute]

i dont understand this US only thing with all of the giveaways. One of the devs stated that some euros WILL be let in Open Beta.

And them some are already in? :)

[mikkyT]

Its US only because nationalism r00ls man dont ya know?

[Varetos]

To bad i don't live in the us. oh well. i regged on the forums anyway :)

[fatman]

hey psu if you want all the european players to love you and your site ask sony if you can pay the postage for the beta's or charge on delivery ;) for us europeans...... we would love ya and abandon all other planetside sites forever ;) except sonys one of course ;)

[Varetos]

Well guys. actually read the entire thread to see the replies and hey guys. I know everyone wants into the beta i do to. But i think that firstly its a great accomplishment from PSU being able to give away beta slots.
I'm sure that it's alot of effort involved in that.

And all off us who aren't in the beta well. The only thing we can do is wait and hope. And just take it as it comes.
-Varetos out.

[FraBaktos]

No Canadians!?!? I am outraged!!! Actually... im not... I already got an email for open beta heheheh. Why do they let Canadians in when they sign up, but not in contests? seems sort of weird don't it?

[zMessiahz]

No Canadians? Thats a false rumor. I just got into Open Beta this week, as did a Canadian team mate of mine.

[Darksim]

Im Canadian and i got into open beta, well im right on the border in Winnipeg, :p, hmmm, im ognna go check the mail.....

[Killer-Olie]

:( me = uk.... :(

[Utah_Blaine]

[thegame109]
