Remove the spaces inside the brackets, those are just to keep the stupid system from automatically trying to convert the above to a link (the code /code doesn't work in this case). You have to do it by hand on this board - it doesn't provide a nifty shortcut like the old one did.

Thanks to you! YAY!

You didn't get an invite to the CoV closed beta? I know that worked largely like the GR beta will, in that it seemed that people were given closed beta slots for having been long-term subscribers.

yeah mine is the same way. previously it would say "this account doesn't have access to the test server at this time due to the issue x closed beta blah blah", but now it's just saying "lost connection to dbserver" when i click training room.

...Trying again...
...maybe...
Lol, now I get "You must fill out the account and password fields to log in to your account!" when I click the training room.
This --> linky <-- pretty much sums up how the message makes me feel. Le sigh.

And there's nothing in that 'loyalty reward' that states you will be first wave closed beta (more likely last or 2nd to the last wave before open beta, I bet.)
Still here, even after all this time!

The 'loyalty program' folks will be getting in the second 'tier' of beta, that's folks who keep their accounts active from 8-15 to 11-15 (along with a shiny badge). Players who have more than 60 months of time will be in the first 'tier' of closed beta. That's just information from the announcement they made while the forums were down the other week. Over here.
To me that first tier seems like what they did for the CoV beta, where people were getting invited to the closed beta in waves that seemed largely dependant on how long they'd had their accounts open (I think I got in on the first or second one of those things). That was the closed beta that immediately followed the whole 'friends and family' beta.
I would imagine that the subscription length folks will be in much earlier than the second wave before open beta myself.

I'm not sure how it worked for anyone else, but as far as I can tell I've never been invited to any closed betas, and I've been playing CoH off and on since CoH final beta, minus one month when I closed my subscription. I have a tendency to keep emails too, and I've searched my email box and found either all or most of the emails I have regarding CoH, all the way back to March 2005 (some older are possibly archived from a previous windows install). None were regarding beta invites. The way I got into the CoV beta? Fileplanet. I might have gotten in after that by preordering CoV, but I can't quite remember at the moment.

For the record, if you really want to know about how things work on the board, you could try reading the FAQ, where they have information like this.

I am sorry if this is cross posting but I need some help. I am having a problem here. In the past when I was not part of closed beta I always got the following message that bascially said the following IIRC. "Your account has not been flagged for closed beta." But now when I get to the log in screen.
Type in my password I get to the page where the training server shows up. I click on the training server and after about thirty seconds I get a message that says Lost connection to DBserver. Is this the new way of telling players that they are not part of closed beta? If it is then it is a strange way of telling us.

I figured I'd throw this on the fire....
So a friend of mine got invited to Closed Beta for Issue 16.
They haven't played the game since the Free Week, and hadn't paid for an account for a long time before that, and have no intentions of coming back.
Evidently Comic Con go-ers and people who aren't even interested in this game anymore get a free ride.

Granted, I'm more than a little pro-CoH personally, but the game has its flaws and I'll certainly acknowledge them.

Now, I happen to be using Firefox. There might remotely be a different option under IE. Regardless, however, I suggest you look under "insert link" in your darling FAQ and see what you come up with for an answer (hint: there isn't one).
Perhaps the standard editor actually does provide a text box, where the enhanced does not. I cannot answer that.

Write your text first, then highlight it and click the insert link button .
Just hope that the "que" feature will be like this. You login (pass the que) choose our server and your character... play abit and then when you feel the urge to alt. You log out of your char and gets to the characters on your server (No entering the entire password and waiting in que again).
Else for me, looking for the tidbits of news (I look forward to the Dev Tracker), try to follow the discussion and looking for news of when the Beta will hit the EU server (no info so far).
