Dan Cooper ‏@dessicata
@PS_TRay and will us europeans be envolved in beta. we not gonna get left out for being british are we.

Tramell Ray Isaac‏@PS_TRay
@dessicata of course not, Proseiben is handling Europe

Hmmm, lets hope the beta doesn't start later for us... However I do think we won't get invited into the tech test

Yeah, I share your concern, but as far as European stereotypes go, I'd far rather the Germans handle this than any other country, speaking as a Brit.

I think a lot of us don't want to believe it because we all checked our e-mails and didn't get in. I know that's what I'm thinking.

GOE was from Germany, and they did a piss-poor job handling the EU server for LoL.

I'd rather have some company from Sweden handle the servers.

I'm fine with it starting, no issues with that all. Given the number of keys only so many people can get in right away. Just was expecting greater forum activity then 10 users. Granted not every tester will be on the forum, but I figured more would be unless they is internal forum no one has access to.

This is what I was going to post in that thread about beta starting that just got locked. An influx of testers ought to equate to an influx of forum activity. I suspect that they are indeed using the official forum since some people that were invited to the internal test already have post counts there.

If I'm wrong though, that's cool too, because that means we've inched that much closer to release

Well if european testers are going to be exclusively relocated to the EU test then I guess it will be later. Takes time to set things up, unless they've already made sure to have everything ready in time for beta.

Yeah. I just went through the 90 pages of members and I don't think I saw more then 50 people with posts (excessive? lol). All of them were registered within a week of the forum opening. I'm calling BS.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if the tech test has started. The sooner the tech test starts, the sooner beta starts. I have to work overtime this weekend anyway.

Why I am skeptical:
With the anonymous nature of reddit, someone would have posted something.
