NDA is lifted and it's probably too late to get into Open Beta unless you win it via a contest... :(

This is the way it worked for us in the EQOA beta shipping.

California gets it in 1 day (Saturday)
The Northwest and West receive it within 2-3 days. (Monday)
The Central states receive it in 3-4 days (Tuesday)
The East coast receives the game in 4-6 days.

These are definitive, but this was the consensus for receiving the disks. Some of you in the back-woods will need to give it an extra day. ;)

Ok, forget all of that. The USPS has learned me sum noo infermation:

For prompt handling use First-Class Mail� for sending letters, postcards, checks or other types of personal or business correspondence and bills. It is generally delivered within 1-3 days and has a lower rate than our other expedited services.

So I guess you East coasters may get them sooner that I thought.

I live in california and didn't get my disc until 2 days after the majority got their discs. I also live very close to the place that mailed the beta cds.

Way to make friends, Frop! LOL, just rub it in our faces that you are downloading it now! :mad:

There's probably half a dozen guys on their way to your house right now to pummel you with dirty socks! Better run!

lol I thought of that. Its a large file, taking about hour and a half on my 1.5 mbps cable. :D Who knows this seems kinda weird to me, to get accepted for the exclusive so late, it accepted my CD key though. hmm

Really crappy that they only send beta accounts to people in US, UK or Canada.

yeah, how come they don't let people from other countries in? just because they don't speak english?

Lol u gotta do your homework before u post something ridiculous like that... Most europeans speak 2-3 languages... Their "own", english, and german/french...

Remember most movies, music and games, are in english, so it is necesary to learn it, to get something out of life...

Ohh well germans migth have a problem since they make german speech to all movies, but the rest of us anyway!


Id go as far as saying that the average european knows more languages than the average american, so dont give me bull about not knowing english!

Just out of interest, how long did it take for the registration code to come through by email for you guys?

I signed up and requested it, and still nothing.

i am aware of that. i am german and i speak english. most germans speak english just fine. i was talking about the official language.

my point is, what IS the reason? the only thing i could come up with was the language, but there is still australia and probably a bunch of other countries. i just don't get it, thats all.
