Chill people, all good things come to those who wait yadayadayada.

oO

100,000? Don't think so. It's not Battlefield or Call of Duty, i'd be happy if 50,000 people would play this game regularly in the upcoming months.

Technical test is for those who were chosen by SOE, closed beta is for everyone who has priority access and those who will be invited.

There's a lot of people that won't be able to run this game too.

Honestly I hope this game blows up and MMOFPS becomes the industry standard and such!

This game has the potential to flop or explode, but from what I'm seeing, it looks great!

The only thing I see holding this game back is the goofy oldschool character design. Just not a fan of open chins and goggles haha.

I'm going to laugh if Higby has his haircut then announces that beta is actually next week.

Crator · 2012-07-11, 09:03 PM

^^^ There's been no announcement of an announcement! Only announcement of a haircut.

For the folks who are still confused about when it starts: link

Looks fun, should be home from class in time to watch it.

I hope so to but only 1 f2p fps has been able to hold 50k numbers, that being tf2

So, is it the technical test that we believe is starting tomorrow, or the closed beta test? Because I assume the technical test will see a lot fewer invites go out.

QuantumMechanic · 2012-07-11, 10:37 PM

This is the most official indication of beta starting that I've seen sofar:

Tomorrow technical test with people from outside SOE.

Beta later, at a date dependent on how well the technical test goes.

No.

Technical Test has already been going on.

From the official Sony Station Blog:

We’re taking over Floyd’s 99 Barbershop for our beta kick off event!

That means the BETA will start tomorrow.

Damn, I hope I get into beta tomorrow with the first batch. My three day weekend starts tomorrow and that would be an awesome way to spend it.
