Can't believe there's some people who were invited to the Tech Test and didn't even take them up on it...pfft, you make me sad!

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Haha, sorry. Like I said I only just saw the email when I searched 'Planetside' on Gmail to see if I had anything.

2-3 weeks?

My estimate of September seems to be accurate. I am the best.

i already had a priority key months back so im assuming i dont need anything else?

I don't think so other than a download link for the client when it becomes available

I'm not sure though as I don't even have a beta key so far myself, even though I'm subbed to PS1 atm & have been for pretty much every month since it was in beta / released back in 2003.

If what Smedley said is actually true then if you are currently subscribed you should be getting invited late today/tomorrow.

Pretty much spot on, if you have a pcg priority key you will be let in a bit later than the current actively subscribed players.

As per @j_smedley, "It's simple - active subs> anytime subbed> priority keys> normal signups." Maybe, you can stop asking now? Probably not.

That's the order it's gonna happen.

I'm currently downloading something via the PS2 launcher thing which is 6.2Gb, I'm assuming this is the beta and I won't need anything else.

9pm GMT is starts, right?

2pm pst/10pm UK time, assuming thats 2pm the server comes online not 2pm invites are sent out.

Lets hope so.

Although as far as SOE are concerned, I have as much faith in their word as the world population had in Ally McLeod when he said Scotland would win the world cup in 1978

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Will I need to download something again?

 

[Gazanimal]

The last bit of info I've read is that the Beta will start at 2pm PST/10PM UK time and I presume the Vets/Invitees will know about it prior to that.

(All subject to change etc)

*Also just heard that any PS1 Active accounts were given PS2 access at 8am PST, so 4pm UK time.

If it doesn't let you download you are not in the beta just yet.

 

[rogueblade]

But I got a key, doesn't that mean I'm in?
