I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the technical test starts today (or they at least send out the emails for the tech test), but I am very skeptical that beta would start today.

i dont think they will invite vets or no vets for the tech test they will invite just a few people that have the requirement of what they want actually for the Tech test ...

After this stage they will invite Ps1 vets acconts and FF 2011 and Pc gamers keys in (( priority )) in the first waves but even that some E3 beta key can get in before few Ps1 vets/pc gamers keys / FF 2011 attend

It's simple:

1) Beta starts when Higby gets a haircut.

Until you see his hair hit the floor, just assume that beta is still "Soon(TM)"

2) Planetside 1 vets, PCGamer key holders, and Fanfair/E3 key holders will be the first to get in. After that, twitter and facebook keys, along with every other beta key will be the next to get in. Finally, people who simply registered for beta but have no other priority access will get in.

Players who have ever paid any money at all to play Planetside 1 are definitely vets. Everyone else, we're not sure. You'll have to wait and see.

3) People will get into beta in waves.

Even if you have multiple top priority first access keys and vet status, you still may not get in right away, but you will get in sooner than others who aren't as high priority.

So it sounds like beta starts today, but we can't be 100% sure yet. But even if it does start today, still expect to wait a while before you get in, especially if you are in one of the lower priority groups.

But we will all be in soon enough, and having the beta process about to start is a lot closer than we've been before. So let's cut some goddamn hair.

From what I can tell, twitter keys are the same as vets and PC Gamer keys.

Another area of conflicting sources, but let's put that aside and say twitter keys may get in later (so don't freak out if it takes a little while longer). But if they get in sooner, I doubt they will be complaining.
