That is what has me worried. Will the key's veterans get be ''lower piority'' than the keys they are giving away on facebook and twitter?

As I wrote earlier, when I redeemed one of these FB keys, it said "Planetside 2 Beta Priority Access" which are the exact same words that have been used for PCGamer and veteran access.

However it does contradict with that comment indeed.

If you are not logged in and enter a code on the main website planetside2.com, you get prompted to log in to your station account, which then directly redirects you to a site that either tells you if it was redeemed succesfully or if it wasnt a valid key anymore.

in the "game pass info" it will also then say that Planetside 2 beta is "ACTIVE". But no, no client or anything available yet, just says they will mail you when it's time.

I don't want to use Facebook or Twitter.....

Why can't they support this site and not them retarded sites?

Yeah I read what you said. But I still find it odd that he says that technically the magazine keys are lower piority, (and afaik those are the same ''type'' of keys vets get) Can't someone from the dev team come here and give us some clarification?

Sadly, this is not where the masses are. And sadly, the masses are the ones who bring in the money.

I have friends in real life, not hundreds of people who aren't my friends.

Glad to see us vets who have spent $150 to get in beta, advertised the games to hundreds, gotten ~25 people willing to try PS2 are getting fucked over for people who tweet things like "hurr im canadian give me key".

THANKS FOR LOOKING AFTER THE VETS SONY. THANKS.

Ever heard of the 80-20 rule? 80% of your money is from 20% of your customers. Those 20% are your core fucking players, not some random guy on Twitter who will probably never play.

Would it kill you to sign up on twitter just to follow Planetside 2 stuff? I did dispite having the same reluctance you do, and I haven't regretted it for a second.

Plus, if you are a sports fan, it's a great source of breaking news. Or if you like funny people, it's a great source of jokes.

I'm not signing up and letting them have rights over my details...

Twitter account won't give you 100% beta key. I'm following them, hell I even draw a picture of TR soldier, but they're appearently chosing random tweets.

Which explains why I have a Planetside 2 listed under my game accounts page. Currently it says "closed".

SGTalon · 2012-06-05, 03:00 PM

You guys are out of control

Higby and Tray know us, love us, and won't leave us out of the Beta.

The minute the beta is ready to go we will know here on PSU.

There are not THAT many veterans that are on top of this to overwhelm a beta program.

I do wish they would just announce the beta is up though!

And it says "Inactive" not closed

Yeah so I used to be a Planetside player and do not need a key?

Does someone who didnt play PS1 have something different?. If so, we vets may have been poaching beta invites from the new guys

Even if it says "active" that doesn't mean you can download the game. Maybe they're waiting to send vet keys until it's closer to beta-opening time. They've said all along that vets are getting in on the ground floor.

You people all need to stop freaking out over something that's likely nothing.
