When will Beta invitations by email be sent?

[Knocky]

Next week...or the week after....or the month after....or the real answer, when they feel like sending them out.

[Death2All]

They'll announce at GDC that beta invites will be sent from late March through mid April..........2013.

Well if it is March then Smed and have stuck to his original word he gave us all in 2011. But like ive said before, i really thinks PS1's anniversary would be the absolutely latest.

SO GEIF BETTA NOWAH!

[Hamma]

We don't know - we also dont know how PS1 players will be invited. It's total speculation and there's no solid info out there right now.

I think something has been lost in translation, its probably my fault, i realise now the title is a little misleading;

I haven't done beta before. I was wondering how long does it typically take for the beta to start after they have sent the invites out.

[Hamma]

Oh

I would imagine that varies but usually its pretty quick.

Usually, USUALLY, when EMAIL beta invites go out beta has begun or will be in a day or so. Thats a usually thing, not for sure with Planetside 2 or SOE.

PC Gamer people already have there keys, and I figured once those started showing up beta would begin, but apparently I was wrong on that one too.

I think it is done by account not by key input. maybe the PCG keys only flag your account, used in the normal beta sign-up from the web site, as priority when it was actually not a priority account. like an upgrade.

last beta i did with SOE, they just sent me an Email with a link to the beta patcher download. of course needed to log into account to access it. =p

but this is all spec. until a dev drops the news so...

[MadPenguin]

Thanks for the info

[ringring]

I've been thinking .. (dangerous I know)

Of us all, who will get access first .. well, if I was Higby, I'd send the first invitations out to those I thought would be sure to participate.

Which means that, if the initial beta sessions are run at a convenient time for San Diego devs the people most likely able to play would be those who had free time at that time, ie not at work or school.

Sooooo, that would mean East Coast US.

Afternoon play tests in SD would be evening play time in NY, so they get the first 'nod'.




that is my theory and I'm sticking to it, until I change it

I expected better of you....I disabled my junk folder to make sure that NOTHING slips by.

BRB...I need to log into this totally legit World of Warcraft link to enter in all my account information and then I need to email this Nigerian banker back to get my share of the millions of US dollars he needs to transfer here.
