I disagree with how they're handling beta invites.

Because it is important to get diverse opinions and not let one background be the overwhelming majority.

It's important to show some form of loyalty to dedicated fans.

Previous posts give plenty of other reasons why PS1 Veterans are more qualified to test for the game sooner than newcomers.

I thought everyone got equal chance to get in, PS vets and magazine owners alike?

Because PS1 vets are the ONLY people who are going to be playing right?

That's pretty much what the dev's have said.

[Hamma]

That is correct.

And Fan Faire 2011 attendees, all 20 that will actually try PlanetSide 2.

Correct, but the people who get in through being a vet will outnumber the people get in through the magazine by a lot.

ಠ_ಠ Give it up
Also, on an actually constructive note, SOE is trying to make up for 7 years of most people's patchless, tortured planetside lives. It's the least they could do.

They probably sold more Mags in my county alone, then the current active player base.

There are other ways to show appreciation to PS1 vets.

I like the idea of giving them bonus starter CERTs. Since they had experience in PS1, they have a much less learning curve and it would be appropriate to give them a head start.

Or just visual features.
No need to unbalanced the game and create unnecessary raeg.

That won't unbalance the game.

That is ALLOT of speculation...allot. Do you know how many subscribers PC Gamer has? "The magazine has a circulation of approximately 210,000." (reference).

So we shouldn't be allowed in beta because we played the first?

ARe you retarded?
