So, I am a PS1 vet, but haven't played since 2005. I have activated a Twitter beta key on my original account. What will my place in the "beta queue" be?

This will be fun. Wish it was live right now, I'd jump right in.

Pretty much 90% of that announcement was rehashed information...however from what I gather the beta will start after planetside day...

You said this:

The announcement said this:

I'll admit I'm being vague and a little obtuse which I do apologize for. Choosing words is an important part of my job. We aren't announcing closed internal Beta. That's been going for a little while. We are moving towards the next step.

Radar, do you have any information if low end machines would be able to play the beta right from the start or will there be a few optimization issues?

Edit: And also, thanks for taking 2 or more hours just responding to us. Thank you very much.

My user name and password work on the PS2 website.

However, it can't be used to log into SOE station site.

What gives?

Thank you -- that is probably as much clarity as you are allowed to give.

So this next part involves external people? It's just not the external closed beta? Is my understanding of that correct?

Thanks RadarX for being so patient and sharing as much info as possible

On a side note, PSU should really add some key info in the first post or do a small roundup to sum things up every now and then, this could help keeping unconfirmed rumors under control.
Sometimes it's just a matter of being unaware of a tweet or a Dev reply and people (just happened to me too) starts bragging.
keep up the good work!
cheers
