PC gamer beta keys

[bennybikerboy]

Alright, so I'm a ps vet, but I used the pc gamer key instead of waiting to get my own key as a vet. Can I use the key when I get it? Does the pc gamer key have the same access power as a vet key?

If you're a vet you will automatically be given access so don't worry about it

Vets don't get keys, their account will simply be enabled.

PS1 Vets -> PCGamer, E3, etc. -> Twitter&otherhandouts

Should of just fell back on the always vague "soon".

So my pc gamer key is null and void?

I'm confused now. The account to *what*? You can't download the client until you log in with your beta key, and I've been assuming the key would be in the magical email we're all assured of getting, and I've been waiting for it like a kid hoping one of Willy Wonka's golden tickets will be in his next package of Everlasting Gobstoppers.

I've registered for beta on the PS2 web site. I've updated the email address on my ancient original Sony Station account. Is there anything I missed...?

You just login to your account and if you have access you'll have a link to download the launcher.

You can't download the client until you log in with a beta activated account, but it doesn't matter how it gets activated.

The beta key is just something that is added to your account. When they activate vets accounts, it will be almost like they automatically put a beta key into your account without you needing to enter anything. It's automatic, instead of you having to manually enter any code.

Your account will be activated... soooooon.

@Rivenshield Anyone with a PS1 account that paid a sub in the past.

You can give the key to someone else, a friend or relative for example.

There's no notification email?

The account you're asking about is the Sony Station Account you used to play original Planetside on. That account will be automatically flagged with Planetside 2 beta access at an undisclosed certain point during the beta.

If you used the same email as your old Sony Station account to manually sign up for the beta on the website, well, that's just a fail-safe, but you're already going to get in at some point, guaranteed, as a current/former subscriber to Planetside 1.
