Closed Beta / Loyalty
No official word about when the vets are getting into the beta. Only thing you can do is wait and see really...
The only time frame offered was that they would be part of one of the waves. And not necessarily the first wave.

Closed Beta isn't over yet. You should get your invite before it is.
Invites will come to those eligible through the various programs at the appropriate times. Starting threads speculating on the reasons you have or have not made it in yet is non productive.
If we just invited everyone who will be eventually invited now, it would be disastrous for the beta program. There is a method folks, please be patient. Also remember that in order to be eligible for beta, your account has to be in good standing. |

So...regular subscriber, 6+ years yadda yadda...I thought I was promised entrance into GR closed beta by remaining loyal? I'm not complaining, just wondering if anyone knows what happened?
I've had 1 account active from 6 years running, 2 accounts for 3 years running. |

I don't really blame Je Saist. We haven't had any particularly recently, but a couple weeks back we couldn't go ten minutes without a six-month vet posting a sarcastic and accusive thread about not being in closed beta yet. Your post appears to be more polite than the other vets, but we have grown weary of them nevertheless.
Yeah, we may be the friendliest community in the industry, but you can't expect hugs and kisses reception to a accusatory post.

SoilentGreen: take a look here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=705
It's the Going Rogue Forum.
The top two threads, as of right now are:
Can someone help me understand GR beta
GR pre purchase beta phase
Also on the front page there's the Let me get this straight thread which deals with Beta access, and the second page there's No Pre-order = no GR beta?, and so on down the list.
Just about every single page has at least one question with somebody asking or demanding I met one of the tiers that the developers mentioned in the past, why am I not in Beta yet?
Well, there's really only three places to go for the answer.
The Developer Digest, that tracks all of the posts from the developers.
The Community Digest, which tracks all of the posts from the Community rep people.
The last place is the announcements forum: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
As with everything else that has happened in the game, it's probably going to be there first.

One person expressing mild exasperation out of three responses and still attempting to supply relevant info (minor error in original link aside) would certainly seem to confirm your statement. Especially if you've ever been to any other MMO forums.
But yeah, meeting one or more of the criteria for a closed beta invite does not guarantee that you'll get in first. Not only are there many others who have the same status, but invites are also prioritized by things like whether the people being invited are to test an area of the game they're known for being very experienced with, how helpful they've been in past betas, and other criteria known only to the Devs.
There's no way to say for sure when someone will get a closed beta invite. (Although Arcanaville getting an early invite is basically a given.
) Based on past closed betas you see will forums for the closed beta in the main forum list once you get your invite even if the invite email itself is lost. (For the i17 closed beta my invite ended up in the spam folder and i didn't even realize i'd gotten the invite for some time.) Check your email, check the boards, and eventually you should get in.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
It doesn't matter how many months you've been playing.
It doesn't matter if you completed the Loyalty program.
And it doesn't matter if you pre-purchased the game.
You may have qualified for just one or all three requirements and still not get invited to the Going Rogue closed beta.
If your account isn't in good standing you aren't getting into any closed beta.

No one here can tell you if you've been black listed.
Furthermore, the devs can deny all of us access until the very last minute before switching over to open beta. They never said how much time we'd have access to closed beta, just that (those of us with accounts in good standing who met the requirements) we'd be invited before it closed.
Edit: Oh and whining about not getting is believed on the forums to be a sure way to get yourself taken off the list. Personally I don't know if that's true.
