We’re taking over Floyd’s 99 Barbershop for our beta kick off event! This may seem a bit odd for something as important as beta, and you’re right! The PlanetSide community has been around a long time and we’ve developed some great relationships. Part of the relationship is the great amount of teasing we take from our community.

BUT THEN NEXT PARAGRAPH

With this in mind, we’ve picked one of our favorites…the meme of Creative Directory Matt Higby’s promise to not cut his hair until beta was to be announced. You can see many nods to this on our own social media channels and our fansites, like with the Twitter account for Higby’s Hair (who is not too pleased about our event).

If you do this event and announce that beta is going to be "SOON", there is going to be a reckoning.

Higby already said the beta servers are up and he is not cutting it off until some people are in.

Regardless, they told us beta would start before this August. Even if it's "soon", that "soon" is soon.

I was talking about this to a coworker yesterday night, one that I had recently indoctrinated into the PS2 fold over the last week or two, when he told me that he was in and playing Planetside. So I naturally flipped out and started choking and beating him until he told me his log in info.

In-between gasps for air he we able to get out that it was Planetside 1 he was talking about.

Of course I apologized but he said he completely understood and admitted he would have done the same if the positions were reverse. We went out for beers later.

True story.

SOE rocks. How many game companies would do this? 4-1/2 hour trip from Bakersfield will be worth it. I will be there!

Sign me up for friday event. I have be unable to find the time for higby haircut. So I will be unable to make that. I do hope to see Higby and the rest of the staff at friday event. I would love to meet and talk about the game with them.

On Friday, The dev team should put on Higby disguises and hide in the crowd of people. SOE office personnel should make a betting pool on how long it takes for people to find Higby himself.

$5 says Clegg would be found in a back ally somewhere standing on his head.
