I think as we get closer to the end of July with beta details still in the dark, the volume of these threads will start to crush this forum until it's all but confirmed beta is clearly underway. By that, I mean the public eye can easily find out that outside parties are playing, not just SOE employees and their friends/family.

After that mess, we can cue the mass "WHY THE **** DIDN'T I GET PICKED! I'M uberh4x 1337!" threads, especially if the closed betas are under NDA. It will be the ONLY topic people can talk about if CB is under NDA.

ias0m: More streams to come starting Wednesday - we'll bring a few vets along. Shooting for beta next Monday but it will depend on how the tests go.

[so- keep your eyes out for a key vets!]

By "play in person" I assume he means show up to comicon.

I've checked mine like 5 times today between that fake pic thread and other tweets. I think I'm just going to setup a email notification on my phone from a email dedicated to only getting that email.

I belive this means that an EXTERNAL tech test will begin in a few days. During this test the team will select a variety of machines to test PS2 on, selecting from the survey we filled out. The test will go for an unknown amount of time, and will be followed by beta.

I think Higby's agreement was to not cut his hair until people are being let in; the external tech test might count for that, allowing for the rumor of a haircut on Thursday which is within the timeline of "the next 2 days".

This makes me excited! PS2 will finally be leaving the alpha state

Edit*
They have selected the sample for the external tech test already, but it is unknown if they have sent emails yet.

Higby's haircut on Thursday confirmed to be true.

I thought in the letter thingy they said that the tech test would only be internal. Maybe I am crazy?

If by thickens, you mean we are rapidly approaching the greatest trolling in the history of game development, then absolutely yes.
