Just clarifyin'

No, SOE is a game developer and publisher only. They do not manage PlayStation Network. PSN is run by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), so in other words, Playstation.

PSN isn't even a part of SOE -- everything Playstation is SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment). However, both Station accounts and PSN accounts had information exposed when that data breach occured a year ago, since it seems they share some backend systems internally.

A Game like this that Really needs a Huge Amount of Testers, Should open 24/7 To see whats Happening with the Balance in Game ect.
But Huge Games like this ever get Leaks, its Typical for Human Beings ísnt ít ?

Hmm i got 2 Free Day in August, for my Beta Needs XD Would be nice to have one Client.

Well, I have to say I had to try my luck a bit there, with no luck though. While I'm really excited about the game, the reason I would've loved the client is cos my internet is horribly slow. Even getting that 11,4gb now would save me from a full day worth of downloading. Sure, it will probably be patched with a few gigabytes more, but that would've been a huge timesaver for me.

Well, in the end its good that SOE took it down, I guess Can't wait for the real deal.

And PlanetSide 2 will certainly get that amount. Eventually. Beta tests always start out with a small sampling and ramp up. We know it's a rough wait, but we think it'll be worth it.

Even with a 'small' sampling - having it set to, as you do, 'scheduled' dates is a terrible thing for betas (this is a proven fact known throughout the gaming industry... betas that start scheduled do not do well.) You're already handicapping yourself by testing a game with (arbitrary) 500 people we'll say, then to limit it to (once again, arbitrary) 4 hours a week... no one tests during those periods. I beta to test games, but I also enjoy the ability to play the game early - as all beta testers enjoy playing. When you're limiting the test to X hours, you're limiting the time testers can muck about... thus limiting the testing done by not only a.) testing by mucking about - but b.) with the limited availability people will just "play" and not as much try and break things.

My two cents from having tested well over 50 games and being in the QA department for a AAA studio.
