News: PC Gamer April Issue with Beta Key - Page 27

**RadarX** · 2012-02-16, 05:05 PM

I wanted to drop in and clarify Beta access for former PlanetSide 1 players. As stated players will receive priority access. This means they will receive access early in the Beta process. This does not mean every former PlanetSide 1 player will get in before anyone else. All we can do is ensure those folks will get in before most others.

Just make sure I'm first.

Makes sence. I mean afterall, nowadays beta is for promotion, not testing

What if I'm in the middle of a cross country move? I have played for almost 8 years and for just this month did not resub.

Then let's hope if we have to categorize "previous PS1 players" that current PS subbers get prioritised over current non-subbers!

Can you clarify even more, and tell us if it's all subscribers, or just active ones? I saw a tweet from someone on the front page of PSU saying it was active subscribers. Considering how butthurt a few "veterans" got thinking magazine readers were getting in before them, I'd like to avoid another three pages of crybaby histrionics, if at all possible.

Was curious how the SOE All-Access subscribers are calculated into the equation. I'd assume they would be put in the 'Previous PS1 subscription' bucket too, although they may have never played PS1.

So do PS1 players get an e-mail with a beta key or just priority with a purchased PC Gamer magazine key?

That's Bullshit.
Shouldn't have to re-sub to get access to beta.

Seriously hope that was a shot at satire.

There's a reason everyone has been saying to make sure your station account has the correct e-mail address.

Anyone that signed up for beta will get a key. PS1 players (pasts or current) will get priority to access the beta over those that have never subbed for PS1. PC gamer keys and Fan faire attendees have equal priority to get into beta.

I think Z's question is will we get an email on Feb 28th, or will we just be given priority access later when the beta starts?

I think we can all agree that the winners of the Outfit Wars should get beta keys first.

Just sayin'
