Invite Friends Into closed Beta?

[ThermalReaper]

Alright. Revamp.

What to consider:
1) Yes, I don't have a beta key and it's a reason to why I made this thread.
2) "Closed beta will be a few weeks. You can't wait for that?" Lies. Closed beta will be SOON.
3) I wanted to add "Yes. Reason: I want my new outfit members to play" but I forgot. Say option 5 or whatever if you agree on this.
4) If you are going to post a "This poll is fail" or whatever, save it.

IMPORTANT POLL!

proceeds to not add a poll..

[Trafalgar]

("Important Poll", with no poll initially)

Not quite the worst topic ever. No, that goes to bug reports titled "IT DOESN'T WORK" or "IMPORTANT BUG FIX NOW." It's close, though. Congratulations.

Important Close!

Important Warning!
Dont create fail threads!



Important text: The title is fail, the poll that doesnt even exist is fail, there is no description of the poll (that still doesnt exist).

Make a proper one, so i dont have to be all important!

[ThermalReaper]

Are you people serious? I had a problem with option 1's char limit. You couldn't wait 10 seconds?

[basti]

Goddamnit, Ninja edit!

Here, have your thread. But i gonna edit the title.

[ThermalReaper]

Go ahead. Thanks.

[basti]

No problem. YOu just got unlucky that i refreshed the forum just a sec after you submitted the thread.

How about "No, all the people I want to play with got beta keys." and "No, my friends are perfectly content to wait til launch."

[p0intman]

ive got nothing against having 3-4 keys to give friends who dont have another way.

[Soothsayer]

I voted yes because my friends have had to put up with me talking about PS2 to the point that I can only do it as an obvious "lets change the topic of the conversation to Planetside 2" thing.

They have heard enough, now let them play! Once I get my invite first ofc.

[ThermalReaper]

Thanks for the actual replies. As for mardine, for your first option, the point of the thread is for people who don't have beta keys. As for the second, I'm adding that.
EDIT:...Can you edit polls?

Those 4 options we got are good. Let me translate them to their actual meaning:

No. Reason: I payed the subscribition costs for PS1 and PC gamer magazine, I deserve to be in beta
Means: Im a prick that only cares about himself and want to feel awesome because im in beta and those other dudes arent.

No. Reason: Too many people would invite and most of them won't submit feedback.
Means: I want a actual beta with bug and feature testing, not just a demo of the game and rage.

Yes. Reason: Having friends to play with you is awesome.
Means: Im a social guy, and playing with my mates is just more fun.

Yes: Condition: Getting rewards. I got into the game, give me a reward slave!
Means: Im a prick and only care about myself. Give me the invite option so i can invite all my 5000 Facebook friends of who i only really know 3 (mom, dad, sis), so i can get loads of rewards and feel awesome.





As for myself, im undecided. Yes, i want my Outfit mates to be in asap with me, but i dont want the whole place to be crowed instantly.


I think during closed beta, there should be a list of people on the beta forums that want to invite their mates. Then, once the PC Gamer guys and us Vets are in Closed beta, SOE just takes a look at the list and figures out who should get some keys to invite some buddys. Vet Outfits go first (should only be a few guys anyway), then directly the Clans from PC gamer folks.
