Well to be honest, i'm pretty dissapointed,
this is what i expected when i read the title:
beta date announcement and planetside 1 going free to play
this is what i got:
some stuff about beta phases we already knew because they spoiled this on twitter like a thousand times, and only 30 days of playtime for ps1 vets (which doesn't apply to me 
so, there was a little hope... but the wait for beta can begin again...
bummer
