It's been confirmed by Smedley to be on Monday or Tuesday at least twice now.

So it is indeed quite soon. But I wouldn't count on being in the first wave, PS1 vet or not.

Do we know anything about how beta invites will be going out? Are we expecting one big long wave of emails on monday/tuesday, or will it be like the tech test where the add a few new people every day?

They will probably give them away on twitter.

Sigh. So much hate and whining on these forum this last week that it's fucking annoying.

To answer the question properly, the invites will most likely be sent out in waves since they'll probably want to test very specific things like 50 tanks v.s 50 mosquitos in the beginning.. Or something

Instead of just letting everyone play like it was launch and trying to find the bugs anyway.

I would guess they try to push a couple thousand in the first wave. And then growing quickly in the coming weeks. They gave out way to many keys

Guys this isn't a thread for saying why you should get in or for going after those people believing that. Those discussions don't get anywhere. Please avoid them.

Current subs will get in earlier?

@j_smedley Wait, what? Care to clarify what you mean? So if I've been subscribed 2003-2009 but not within the last year I'm not a vet?

John Smedley@j_smedley
@kawaiiestpie you are. Just current subs will get first.

So if you have an active subscription to PS you get in first, and if you are a PS vet, but not have an active subscription, you get in later?

LOL.

When they throw everyone together in one group, everyone's mad. When they start doing tiers, everyone's mad.

I love you guys.

Coreldan · 2012-07-25, 12:06 PM

HAHAH!

Thank God I kept sub running this long.

I havnt really actively played for a while but thought I'll keep it running just in case it will prioritize me.
