Surely it would be silly not to do this? I haven't really thought about it myself, but I would assume we can get onto all three factions without limitations for testing purposes.

Guys.
Six pages of arguing about who will get into Beta first?
Patience, young grasshoppers. Beta will come.

Okay, it's assumption time, which means that I'm about to look very stupid here (something that's easy for me to do). So, I'm going to just throw out this prediction... beta is coming really soon. How do I figure this? Follow my screwy logic:

On the last AGN broadcast, Higby accepted Hamma's challenge to not cut his hair or trim/shave his beard until beta starts.
Higby joked about his wife's disdain of his facial hair and we all know that a happy home life starts with a happy wife.
Based on those facts, my assumption is that Higby would not place his happy home life above PlanetSide 2; face it -- there are just some lines that you do not cross. That being stated, I think Higby accepted the challenge *knowing* that beta start would be announced very soon, therefore he accepted the challenge knowing that his happy home life was not in any way at risk.

He denied the beard challenge, but accepted the hair challenge.

Now, the hair doesnt exaclty look cut to me.

Anyway, I was obviously utterly off about the March 15th beta release, so do you think they will have it finished by the end of the year? I am hoping so.

The name mixup in the pic you posted was actually intentional because the explorer who discovered it wanted Iceland for himself so he named the ice country Greenland so that people would be more interested in that.

The Vikings (IIRC) were obviously not without a sense of humor.

That being said, I really want to see this arctic/urban continent!

Back then, the climate was different though.

PurpleOtter · 2012-03-10, 10:41 PM

OK....I caved to extortion and bought the dam copy of PC-Lamer to get my Beta key. Now we wait.....

It will be a while me-thinks. Late April probably.
