What we know about Beta.

[RoninAfro]

If I had a bottle cap for every time I read the words "beta soon", it would be time for beta already.

[lawnmower]

is there any way to guarantee to get into closed beta?
can you buy a spot from someone else?
I heard that ps1 playrs get a guaranteed spot, is that only for veterans or can you start subscribing now and still get a spot in the closed beta?

There's the PC Gamer mag codes from the April edition, that puts you in the same reserved spot as the subscribers of the original Planetside, but at this point, it probably won't be easy to find them in any stores, same goes for online. Your best bet is to simply subscribe to the original game at this point. Also, I remember reading the the beta will come in waves, so being a subscriber or a code user might not guarantee getting in the first wave or so.

You could have gotten one of those PC Gamer keys like I did :P

i actually subscribe to pc gamer, but wasn tthere just a specific pc gamer that gave out the keys, like the us or uk version?
so theres no way to buy a beta spot from a person

We have heard soon for AGES... now. So don't get your hopes up, or the "Loverator" will come and crush them. Then do weird stuff afterwards.

''Keep checking your email, you might find a surprise in there soon!'' is different than only soon They are probably preparing to send beta e-mails.

[MacXXcaM]

I expect anybody who receives one invite to post here immediately!

[bjorntju1]

I think the forum will be full of posts and threads when people get beta invites

And:

@planetside2 So the beta invites are really really really really close now?,can't wait to go at it

@ivan_vail We wouldn't say really really really, but you should definitely keep a sharp eye on the PS2 website and your email box! ^Havoc

Hmmm. The fact that they are saying we should keep an eye on our e-mail says alot imo

[MacXXcaM]

Sounds like within the next days...

[Johari]

Probably in 2 weeks more like it. Get that hype for E3 when they say that they've started sending out beta invites out in emails.

I HOPE I'm wrong but this is how marketing stuff works.

[The Kush]

Announcement at E3 and then shortly after the doors open for people to slowly flow through
