Awesome. This is just awesome.

I also love how all the entitled brats were handled by a Facebook post.

Hmm, I wonder if PS1 vets means having subscribed to it at any time during it's run, or only those subscribed now?

Either way, if the PCGamer key is the same "priority access" ass PS1 vets, I'll get a copy to be safe.

ALSO BETA!

That seems to be your department brother. I think you can take the floor on this one (more ways than one). Anyone else speaking about the subject just wouldn't do.

I can only speculate, but my guess would be anyone with an account in good standing. The only SURE way (let's not confuse the issue with logic) is to have an active sub, though.

I wouldn't blame 'em if they only give it to those currently subscribed. Talk about some diehards there. I don't think you could pay me to play PS1 now.

My guess is anyone who has ever held a sub to the old version.

The atmosphere in here is intense :P

Very happy to hear this news, and even more to hear that they will be giving it to all ps1 players no restrictions. That sure is a lot of people though, for a beta.

I can always rely on you to find the right answer in a timely fashion. Thanks.

Oh christ. Now I have to choose between waiting for Kepler/Ivy Bridge and missing months of beta, or splashing out on a worse, more expensive rig now. Dilemma.

A game that boosts 1000v1000v1000 needs a large beta testing. To put heavy stress on the game.

They want all the people to stress test, plus there is no pve at all in the game. It's all pvp which you need players for. I wonder how many servers there will be. With that amount of people Id think there will be at least 3 (east, west, Europe) but we shall see

Is it in the UK issue too or JUST the US version?
