I played a few times with the free time I had never used from the SOE hacked debacle. Too depressing. It isn't really Planetside anymore.

I respect the people who still play. If you still have fun with it, more power to you. I hope they keep PS1 running for you after PS2 launches. It just isn't the game I enjoyed from back in the day.

I'm not going to sub just in the off chance that it gets me early beta access. I want to be in beta the day it starts, more than I've wanted to try out any game before, but I leave that in the hands of the developers. If they want to skip over me because I'm not subbed to PS1, so be it.

PS1 players, former and current, will be an important part of beta, but I don't feel like people who are currently subbed to PS1 will be an accurate representation of the games entire target audience. They could use a nice selection of former players, current players and people who have never played Planetside before. I hope to make it in as a former PS1 player.

My account information is all up to date and everything. I'm just going to keep hoping they didn't tell me to do that for nothing

Because you are a troll.

Just make an informed decision on whether you want to sub or not to ps1 , and have done with it.

Food for thought : just because you have a ps1 sub , dosen't make you automatically a good beta tester by default .
Likewise , if you are subscribed in anticipation of beta from time Smedley announced the initial rumours, you may have spent $2-250 by the time ps2 is released on sub alone, to play a game you may play for free.

I think Beta invites will go to everyone who has played PS1 active or not.

I hope this is true, lots of great players who may have left the game way back in its infancy but left for whatever reason , bfr's , hackers , core combat etc would be just as valuable to the overall net result.

I'm thinking merely having an active sub will allow one into beta. It would be their work around way of having you pay to play PS2 without actually paying to play PS2 proper.

Though I'd rather pay to play PS2 beta than pay to play PS1 retail as it currently stands, and I'm desperate for some Planetside.
