Pre-order Planetside 2

[bennybikerboy]

So I think it's safe to assume that if we pre-order Planetside 2 we got a slot in beta, right?

From the official site:

Will there be a Beta?
Yes. We will ensure that PlanetSide players will be among the first in. Sign up to receive our email updates and like us on Facebook to be in the know. Also, if you played awhile ago it would be a good idea to make sure that your Station Account has your most recent email address. Go to www.soe.com and click My Account.

That is all we know unfortunately. If you didn't already i would at least sign up on the official site to receive their e-mail updates if i were you.

It's difficult to say.

Since plenty of companies are allowing you to preorder the game even though it's not completed yet and considering the fact that it's another company handling the sales instead of SOE it would be difficult for them effectively track who is buying what.

I don't think preordering the game is going to effect your chances of getting into beta. Presumably, already subscribed players will get first dibs over those who aren't subscribed/haven't played the game.

However since the game has such a huge scale I think it's safe to safe that a lot of people going to be getting into the beta so you really don't need to worry about that .

if anything i think early pre orders before completion is a two fold stratagy. to gauge an idea of pre advertising playerbase numbers, and to instil the idea the game willa ctually happen (since alot of doubt surrounded the playbase for a while)

i dont think pre ordering will give beta access, but it might give early start (i.e after beta before relesase.)
