Beta to start Monday/Tuesday

[Canadian Vanu]

GREAT, now I have to cancel my vacation.

[Comet]

I have to say that Smed has given extremely accurate information and has more or less done what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it.

[Ruffdog]

Some will be much more disappointed than others. I do not envy the mods once all the bile starts getting posted. With respect to Hamma's post on no whining, it will happen regardless

Good luck everyone

[Gonefshn]

I'm so excited I hope at the least we see it next week.

[Greenthy]

Some new tech invites went out as well.
Secretly hoping I'm in, but I'm trying not to set myself up for the dissapointment.

[Braveliltoaster]

I hope im the first one in

[Bittermen]

Oh yes oh yessss

[bullet]

Going to be a ton of nerd rage next week. Should be fun.

[Eyeklops]

By adding the word "probably" into the question, he gave Smed a free "soon"

[WiteBeam]

By the skin of their teeth still July.
And more tech invites going out now.

[Buren]

Does anyone know how long it is planned to run? I am going to be gone the first week of August returning the 8th. Here's hoping I won't miss it.

A few months atleast. You'll be fine.
After the closed beta with the keys, they will open it up to everyone before the true release. It will take quite some time to hammer out the kinks.

I'm honestly hoping that once the beta is opened, it stays opened until the game is released. Maybe a week or two at best of downtime during the two.

Thats how I've seen it happen here and there. Might be selfish of me to want it this way, but there

I agree and wouldn't think they would close the game for any time between open beta and release. People will be able to use the cash shop and buy things toward the end of open beta I'm sure. There really wouldn't be a reason to turn the game off when games are no longer being sold in stores but rather being downloaded online. It should just roll right into being 'released'.

It was stated in an interview the Beta would be open until release. So no worries.
