we will be inviting as many of our existing PlanetSide 1 players as we can into the early phases of Beta determined by a number of different factors, including machine type.

How do they gather that data?

I went to planetside 2, sign up for beta (already did that day 1 it was available) logged in with my SOE account and there was a new survey there now. Extremely basic, asks for your CPU, graphics card (can only select the series, like 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, which says very little), and RAM.

I hope they email all past planetside subscribers about the free 30 day. Wait can the server handle that?

stordito · 2012-06-26, 10:54 AM

I did not received any mail or survey, and the planetside subscription is still "closed". that's because I'm european?

Yes, Im a doctor, I always need new patients!

@topic:
Those "news" are practically all bad. They pretty much say that they are in the internal beta (what everybody already knew) and that its gonna take a while till closed beta. Normally I would apreciate the information, but I dont like it because they had this strange "announcement" last week and I was actually looking forward to good news. Now I got bad news.

An announcement of upcoming news is good if you have GOOD news, if you have bad news, just dont say anything before spreading them, okay? That way, everyone is disappointed.

Free 30days of PS1 and news of escalating beta is not good? Wow...

This is actually very accurate. The 'announcement' was more or less stuff we already knew (except for the PS1 part).

However, Radar's posts are more specific... and contradictory to the official letter.

All the PR for this game has been bad. I just feel toyed with. I really hope enduring all this silly-ness will be worth it.

Yeah i think this kind of hipe hurt people and make them angry more than serve the (( hipe itself )) of the game ... If you ask me i dont really like all thats because i dont know if it will serve the game well !

I think its better to send out beta key when you can actually log in rigth away and play it as soon as you have a Beta key

I dont undestand the way they did thats ive never seen it before having to reddeem a key and then wait to get a invite .. its kinda weird

Whats the point for people who register on planetside 2.com hopping for a beta key

and what about those who get the key at E3 2012 and on twitter when they will realise they will not get in the beta until november 2012 maybe ..

I really dont get how it could be good for the game but thats my own interpretation of it

Hope they know whats they are doing

Cant wait to play it anyway just hope it will not turn off many people
