This is really getting annoying now. Few weeks, month, soon, very soon, next day, 1-2 days. Seriously...

Stop asking for clarification from every Twitter on the face of the universe. Higby and Smed have said what is going on. A bunch of people run the @PlanetSide2 Twitter so take this thread, and Smeds comments as the ones we should be looking at. Nothing else matters.

Well they're on the same team. Aren't they all supposed to be as informed with the tests as everybody else in PS2 staff?

There's some kind of PS2 event going on right now, it's not being live streamed though.

Just yesterday there was one that said everyone with Priority Keys would be playing Beta as soon as it began.
It's not that they don't know what's going on, but they're answering a lot of tweets, which don't allow many words, which means there's a lot of chances for miscommunication/misunderstandings.

Beta maybe, but it was my understanding that only invites for the tech test, which is much smaller, were being sent out today. And if that's the case, I think we can expect the tech test to run until the 15th, with the actual closed beta starting soon thereafter.

And I don't think that EVERY veteran and priority key holder will get in right away. That would be a lot of stress on servers you aren't making any money from yet. It's just that veterans and priority key holders will filter in a group at a time and all be playing before those without keys.

No.

Higby, and Smed or any official site posting is going to have your most accurate information.
