*** PlanetSide 2 Ultimate Beta FAQ *** - Page 81

I am sure the answer I am looking for is somewhere in this thread, but did I need to be actively subscribed to PS1 when they announced that PS1 vets would get priority beta access, or does just being a vet since 2003 suffice

Thanks.

If your email adress is still correct, then it is enough.

Could someone ask for me on twitter from smed or higby or someone who's prone to answer / knows:

Is it possible for euro (vet) players to get in the beta on the first waves or is it americans only?

I haven't seen anything said about this anywhere (sorry, though, if it has been clarified somewhere - please point me there)..

Interesting, but I think it'd be silly not to test all variables

, US on EU servers, EU on US servers etc, be nice to get some clarification however.

There were some threads about this about a week ago. I'm not sure if it was official though. From what I remember, SOE made a deal with some EU server company(?) and they will have EU servers. There was a lot of fret about region lock but last I heard SOE is working on it.

You way behind the times. It is up somewhere (on phone so hard to find it) that anyone from any area can play on any server. It was not initially like that but after the community reacted they changed it. I imagine beta will be the same. I see no reason not to and if they want to beta test properly then it will be fine. I'm in the UK so have high hopes.

I'm not talking about the prosieben deal. I'm wondering if the first steps of closed beta (next monday~) // external tech test (thursday~~) will be americans only...

Yeah I was addressing the poster who was speaking about closed beta testing, and if EU players will be in it.

I asked Brollywood about this and he said he will tell us as soon as he will confirm a few stuff and when he is allowed to. So fingers crossed

That stuff is confirming the set up of their off-US servers. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Also, hi from me, I'm the product manager for PlanetSide 2 in Europe.

How did you ask him? The latest post of him on this forum was in the thread if the EU people also get beta servers, and he said: '' Hi guys, there will be EU servers for the game, fret not. '' But we don't know if he was referring to the beta of full game servers.

I sent him a message politely asking him if we were getting the beta since his post on that thread was a bit confusing

. He answered last night when I was sleeping or something like that.

Man, they must need A LOT of players for Beta. Seems likes anyone who really wants to get into Beta can get a key with just a little effort. I think I've gotten my 5th key now. As long as they keep giving them away, I'll keep recruiting friends.

Katalliaan · 2012-07-10, 02:27 PM

Just because it's easy to get a key doesn't mean that the beta will be massive at the start. It just means that they have a wider pool of candidates to choose from, so your chances of actually getting into the beta at the start are much lower (improving as it goes on, since your competition for a beta slot are already playing).

Sephirex · 2012-07-10, 02:30 PM

Still going to a huge beta once all the waves are done.
