Obviously it'd be massive compared to PS1, but I can dream.

After the festivities an announcement appears:

"Emergency deployment! All players proceed to the HART".

Everyone piles in.
The HART ascends into the atmosphere gracefully for one last time.
The Global Map appears.
It suddenly fills with static.
Disappears.
And is replaced by the brand new Auraxis global map from PS2.
You select a respawn point and click drop.
BOOM!
You're now descending through the heavens in PlanetSide 2 beta.

I like this idea too, would require a ton of coding, but cool none the less.

Would be cool as long as all active Planetside 1 subscribers got into closed beta at the same time. Anyone know how many active Planetside 1 subscribers there are atm?

I do know there are a lot of NEW subscribers to PS1 cause I've helped several understand the game mechanics... Not certain that matters cause we still don't know exactly how the PS1 players will be phased into closed beta. We do know that if you have a PS1 sub you are auto-enrolled into closed beta.

I went back and it seems pretty busy, only one continent active at a time though.

It's a hard life

you have to have PS2 installed on your computer before you can even think about playing it first,and myself i would hate them to close down PS1,until at least PS2 goes live

Sadly, we just didnt have many weekends to do this event. We basically had this upcoming one, and the one after. We chose the one after, Sundays usually have the best turn out.

Regardless, the whole event will be streamed and put on Twitch, so you can still watch it!
