Glad you guys figured you could get the key digitally. Do you guys no if this applies to back issues as well? I am assuming it doesn't?

Yeah it must be only the #241.

EDIT: if you have a free beta key, you are still very welcome!!!

Fab I hope the PC Gamer thing works out for you. Please don't rely on me to give you a key 1. I will not be personally selecting anyone for beta key distribution, and 2. PC Gamers have become very scarce now so I doubt I will find another copy anytime soon, if at all.

You may want to sign up for a twitter account and lick the arse of whoever is tweeting the @planetside2 account anyway.

Waste of keys, too, as the PS2 staff have said all PS1 players will get in and get priority over everyone but PC Gamer key owners, from what I recall (which is to say, IIRC they have the same priority, for some reason).

I have a twitter key on my account, and now these new PC Gamer magazine keys are coming out, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they're going to get into the beta before I do, despite that I registered my key first? (Not that I want to sound entitled for actually managing to get one of the publicly posted twitter keys, when PS1 players have been subscribing for years (assuming they don't just have an account from when it was temporarily free))

The last time I had a subscription to PCGamer must've been 10 years ago. Why don't I anymore? I play more console games than PC games, and reviews are available on the Interweb.

Of course, to be honest, it would be nice to have some kind of invite system (not using facebook) if closed beta lasted any substantial amount of time.

Well I left one account with no key and the others all with keys and they're all my SOE accounts with copies of Planetside I bought so why would they block them? Just a fan trying to get into a beta, upgraded my PC for the game and really excited for it.

If more of my accounts get into beta then I have friends waiting to play so just give them an account to play as well.

OK i did it, but i feel so dirty!

Hey guys, I have two more beta keys for people to claim!
PM me, and I will distribute beta keys on a first come first served basis.

I would prefer to do it totally randomly, but I don't see a large influx of beta keys or a sudden surge in interest to warrant a random selection.

Good luck guys!

Edit: Both beta keys have been redeemed now guys. Keep checking back for more maybe!
