News: Planetside 2 beta plans

If they didn't give rough dates, these threads would be full of people going "Why can't they give us a rough estimate? SOE is the worse company ever, waaahh!"

Not too religious, but I have to question if that isn't counter-productive? I don't think He'd want you spending your time on PS2.

You can tell the start of beta is soon, everyone seems to getting cranky and foaming at the mouth, maybe SOE should unlock PS for the time being while they get ready so we don't see an angry mob with pitchforks heading their way

LOL, you could have put this post up a month ago and it'd be just as true.

They said end of July would be the start of beta, it's still July, so what ON EARTH is the issue here?

Stop your whining.

Well a vet still waiting to get in here, no key yet, probably because i'm in the EU perhaps.

I have been playing another beta though which I've dropped money for now, PS2 will have to be something special to draw me away. It was time vs money here, time (excitement) in PS1 vs currency (current) in X, current won out in getting me in.

I think they hyped it too much folks, at least on my end, not those who are in, sure you are having a whale of a time. Many of us pictured more seats at the table than there were.

Say it with me: Beta has not started yet.

Plenty of people in now, so I don't know what you're speaking about anyway, was chatting to one today.

I'm going with the other guy. We don't know how many seats are at the table, since Beta hasn't started yet.
However, after some key miscommunications already, I'm definitely feeling skeptical about the future.

It's not because you are in EU. I'm a vet with no invite sitting in the US.... :|

Then how come people are in beta?

I am extremely confused at this point, I am speaking of closed beta.

Tech test. Which was also communicated would be happening and with limited invites WELL before hand.
Closed Beta is next week. We can see how many seats there are after invites go out.

Smedley just said on twitter that closed beta will start next week
