It all depends on thier scheduale and what they want to test.
Personally, if they are aiming for a late Feb release, then Starting Beta this month, or NLT then 2nd week Januarary is reasonable.
Consider this, they go Gold 14 Feb, go Live on 28 Febuarary, with the pre-requisite laast minuete patch at launch. Thats a given. If they DO NOT launch with a patch, I will be SHOCKED.

That isn't a hit on them, thats just SOP for MMO's... we shall see.

Has there been a registration for the beta already?

If yes, do you think they will reopen it?

�io · 2002-12-12, 06:54 PM

Yes.
No.

Don't worry you won't have to wait till Feb to play though, after exclusive open beta there will be an open beta, anybody can download and join in.

If they wanna hit Feb they need to start exclusive open beta asap. If they start in Jan they will most likely be late since they still need to do the open beta to test servers.

Still time

afex · 2002-12-13, 01:51 PM

true, but i figured they'd send them out in the morning.

i woke up today and checked my email.

then i cried while getting dressed for work.

I got accepted.

Onto the bus this morning.

Anybody else thinking there's no way they make Feb or if they do it will be something like the 26th of Feb.

I mean we are already at the 2nd-3rd week of december. That leaves 5-6 weeks before Feb. So in just 5-6 weeks they have to exclusive beta then open beta and the get it into gold, produce and ship it.

March 31st is my guess. 2 years to the day after the release of Dave's last game (Tribes 2).

Ghryphen · 2002-12-13, 03:07 PM

30th

, went gold March 19th. However, the T2 beta was almost 3 months in by now.

IF I get into beta, I would want beta to last for a long time, if I don't, I want it to be really short

Umm why??

Even if i did get in (which i won't) i would much rather they get it into gold asap so i can play the real version with my buddies then spend 6months playing a buggy version with a few people i don't know.

I predict Monday as the beta acceptance day, and here's why:

They are going to mail the CD's out monday, give the CD's about a week to arrive. But, by that time, many people are travelling for Christmas, so they start their beta with a low number of core testers that are too addicted to PS to travel, and so they get a core team of bug finders. Then people return from travelling and they really start moving.

That's just me though =)
