Wow .. that has got to be the best BETA specific tweet yet .. Nice.

I have to keep myself from getting my hopes up tho ... I feel like a school kid waiting for summer vacation... Sad.

I would take all of these tweets with a grain of salt.

More like a spoon of salt.

That tweet is, at best, highly ambiguous lol

Once beta is announced you will be able to tell on these forums rather easily. You will have the threads were everyone is happy they got their key. Then the mad vets who didn't and will be making a bunch of threads saying they should be first vs PC gamer keys.

hate to say it but it's time SOE the market is ripe for you to release this beta and blow the doors off of everything

I'm baffled as to why you'd hate to say that. Hey SoE, beta please.

I think we all know we're getting close to beta, but I found this article from Chinaside: http://goo.gl/dqinU

From what I gather, they have to show the game off to the government ("Ministry of Culture" in the article), and it failed. Its difficult to know whats really going on because of google translate. Just an interesting bit.

edit:
Another article from Chinaside. http://goo.gl/QWahO

This one says that PS2 would launch in 2013 (at least in China).

Goku · 2012-04-25, 10:41 AM

Well the Chinese game will likely have a few changes made I wouldn't be shocked to accommodate it for that market. I don't see SOE doing the same to the American/EU version though. The Chinese government is just very weird when it comes to games.

I was just making the point that they either had a playable client or a video worth showing.

So I'm a new member to PSU and the excitement over PS2 has been pushing me to get information from all the available avenues I can (former PS player from 2003). Following that thought, I apologize if this question was already asked/answered somewhere by SOE, the PS2 team, or brought up in the community, but here goes:

With what seems like a potential beta coming in the next month or so, no one is really sure but we're all just super jacked for that day its finally announced, what is the PS2 team's idea for how they will handle how many active beta accounts are sent out at a time?

I guess where I'm really going with this is its my experience you don't want to try to cap your servers in the first stage of your beta, but have they said anything about a potential number of people they'd like to see sequenced into the beta as their phasing and testing continues?

I know the number they keep throwing around is 2000 players, and from what I have gathered that is per continent (yes?). So with the potential the beta may only cover a single continent (speculation), are they only looking at allowing around 2k - 3k players for their beta invites? Or do they plan to test multiple servers during the beta?

Just thought it might be an interesting idea to talk about. Thx for all the continued PS2 discussion, these forums are a lot of fun to follow.
