Who gets in Beta First, PC mag keys or PS1 users?


So I've been playing Planetside since 2004 and I simply can't wait to get into beta for Planetside 2, So I went out and picked up a copy of PC gamer just to make sure I get into beta, but here's my question, who do you think will get in first a PC gamer priority beta Key or the keys for Planetside 1 vets that they email out? Or do you think it wont matter and they will all be invited at the same time since they will need a lot of players to stress test?

Also a side note if anyone still wants a beta key from the mag let me know and I can try and pick one up for you and mail it, possibly even into the devs first and then have them send it to you, but you would have to pay me threw paypal first and I live in Canada

Sure, if they drained all of your resources and then self destructed 10 seconds later.

Steep price but hey 10 seconds of cool mechs.

Think Malorn posted in the wrong thread



As for who gets in first, I don't think anyone knows at this point. I signed up for beta within an hour of the beta invite coming out on my main account. Picked up a PC gamer magazine and entered the key on another account just to increase my chances.


No clue though who gets priority. Considering PS is such a massive game they might just let everyone in regardless.

Both PS1 players and PCGamer maggers get the same level of access: priority. That means that they'll be randomly picked from the same pool.

LOL sorry rage

and that was my thoughts also but wasn't sure, I think if they really want to test it a large amount of people will get in at once but still I DON'T WANT TO WAIT !

Re: Who gets in Beta First, PC mag keys or PS1 users?


It seems to me like PS1 players should get priority. Here's my reasoning:

PS1 Players: Payed $30-60 for the initial game, $20ish for Core Combat, and consistent countless monthly fees of $15, and all this was payed to SOE.

PC Mag Consumers: Payed $7 to PC Gamer and their local store.

Obviously I have nothing against anyone here who didn't play PS1 but instead went out and bought the magazine, but I'm just saying that if the choice has to be made, giving priority to the Planetside 1 players is the most logical decision ;D

I agree, but they also want the hype and a bigger player base to test with I think. Also i wish it was only 7$ it's 12$ plus tax !

PS1 players also got a great game to go with their beta access while PC gamer readers got a magazine.

But with a shinny beta key that they KNOW there getting, without it your not sure when your emailed beta key will come

Also do you think they will still email beta keys out to you if already put a beta key in from the mag ?

Yes. You have to confirm your access.

Yes, you have to confirm your access when they send you your invite. Even after you confirm that you got your magazine key entered.

Aright but back to the point do you think they will send you another beta key for being a PS1 vet ?
