[Coreldan]

They still give out keys on twitter on a daily basis

Well my all pass ended in march or 2012 and I have not received an invite so they are not doing all of 2012 subscribers in one fell swoop.

Hmm...just checked my transaction history, and my last recorded subscription according to SoE was from February 2010. Yet the timestamps in my game folder show I was still playing July 2011.

Clearly someone must have hacked SoE's computers and altered my account info with the nefarious purpose of delaying my beta invite by a few days! This is an outrage!

Really?

I'm still playing Planetside 1 to this day. My PS1 account was made in November 2003.

Apparently nearly 9 years isn't good enough for Sony as it is so the fact I could be one of the last people to get in (despite being such a seasoned player) infuriates me just a bit.

Well if you have an active sub you should already be in. Might wanna check on that.

The people that were actively subscribed on beta day 1 got in on day 1. Since your latest subscription was this year, you will probably get in on the next wave which, I'd wager, will start next week or the week after. That's just my speculation based on the appproximate timelines SOE has been saying.

You're in if you had an active subscription as of Monday, even if they didn't send you an e-mail.

Go here: http://www.planetside2.com/download

Click "download now," then log in with your account and see if it lets you download.

Me want beta!

[Scotsh]

Were there any new invites yesterday? Are there some non-sub vets already playing (not counting those from tech test ofc)?

[Sturmhardt]

I don't think there are any invitations right now... A friend of mine heard that there might be some issues that need to be resolved first

@j_smedley When will the next invite waves happen? Especially for Vets without active subscription.

John Smedley
@BStramke once we feel like we have worked out existing Issues with what we see already.
@BStramke Don't worry. It won't be long.


So i guess it might be in around 4 to 11 days till the next wave gets out.

PS:

all ps1 current subs are invited. Vets who aren't subscribed aren't in yet. Not sure when yet. We have work to do

[Scotsh]

@j_smedley probably being asked loads but any word on when next wave of invites is likely to happen?

@DessyRascal as soon as we feel we've improved the game enough. Not this week for sure.

Also, the waves will be split up a bit:

doesn't surprise me with the way this whole game has gone. I would expect all vets to be in by sept, and all keys in by oct

[Otleaz]

Yeah, the way things are looking, I would go far enough to say release won't even come about until soon.
