Yes, John Smedley stated that a few days ago. My estimate is that all "active" vets will get in on day 1 (still crossing fingers for today) + the first batch of non-actives.
Those non-actives are a very hard to predict tho, but my guess is that all of them get in at least on day 3.

Well hopefully it will be today, its not like every person on the Planetside 2 team up and went to china and just got back recently. So they probably didn't have that much of a disruption in their schedule ... or maybe I'm just under estimating those people.

There can't be that many active vets though. Surely a lot more will get in on day one, heck GW2 had millions.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

At least we know it WILL be Monday or Tuesday. ( Plus you made up that statistic, because 63% of all statistics are made up

)

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Does the Planetside community, whatever's left of it, still take the urine out Smedley (he of the wallet) these days, like we used to? Or is there a lot more brown noseing in general with beta-fever the last few months?

Just curious.

I've heard of those guys. My favorite was how right they were about the Maginot Line.

I think smedley made sure to leave some wiggle room.

I highly doubt theirs enough active vets to even keep one server full.

Highly doubt they will send it out on one server.

for all we know everyone thats a vet & has a beta key could very well be in by Wednesday. I'm a active vet & i got a pc gamer key on another account for my sister that also loves PS2 so one of us will get in lol

Coreldan · 2012-07-30, 11:07 AM

I'd say they are 3000-4000 active subbers.

SUBARU · 2012-07-30, 11:11 AM

Yes ,Higby cut his hair over 2 weeks ago.That just means beta is soon
