Heya all!
So I have been searching and searching for information on how to do this but How can I get onto the Beta Server? I have found little to no information on it and I would Love to try it! Any suggestions? I would just love to see what the Freedom edition in like and would love to help out if it requires help that is. Any help would be much obliged!

If you are not invited to the Freedom closed beta, installing the beta server right now is a waste of time. It's locked out to the riff-raff.

At this point its closed beta, so unless you've been invited to it, you can't get to it. If you are, instructions should be in that email or at least point you to them.

Instructions are still available on the nearly-deprecated I20.5 thread concerning the same issue. But then, as folks have already said--either you knew that already, or you don't have access anyways.

Of course, there are some times I've had access before gettign the email.

Click the "City of Heroes Forums" (before "English") and see if you see the I21 beta info - you should still (I think) see 20.5 regardless, as that was open.

Bill is, as usual, correct. You could always set up the beta server and see if you can get in, even if you haven't received the e-mail. The e-mail, forum access, and server access are all separate things. But I doubt it'll happen for you. Good luck!

I think a more pertinent question is 'Has Closed Beta even started yet?'

For all we know this could all still be in internal testing and development and they're just telling us what they have planned.

This has happened to me several times because the email account i get the notices on tends to shunt the invites to the spam folder.

The first i usually know about getting into a closed beta is when i see the forums appear in the main list. Not that i get into every closed beta, but the ones that i have gotten into i usually didn't know until i saw the forum section appear.

Yes. In fact, I believe they're on the third version right now.

I always update it, just in case I am invited in the future.

I do the same. I've seen three I21 patches--the initial, and two updates.

Another question... how is it that someone who has been part of CoH since early CoH beta and has been subscribed for most of the past SEVEN years and has been in every other beta.... not part of this one?

They try to cycle the list of who is in each beta, so you can be in everyone and then suddenly in none or not until the last couple of waves for several beta's. Basically its if Zwillinger hits your name on the list with the dart from across the room or not. ::shrug::

Thats it, I was in the 1st wave of the 1st 4 betas and since then have been in the last couple of waves and not in one. Others report similar situations. Basically they try not to have the same people in the full beta time after time after time.

I'm sure there's a list of people who are ALWAYS in early betas. I can name several people I'd want, right now. There's no point in singling them out, but I will say: Thank you.

In all the CoH closed betas I've had access to over the years I've been able to play all of them days or even -weeks- before I ever see the email about it. At this point I almost think it's weird they waste time trying to inform people about betas via that method. The emails might be useful for some people, but for me they're the -last- place I go looking for this kind of info.

No.... I wish I could accept that and then at least I'd be mollified a little....

But... no... it's obvious that I hast been forsaken.... they forsooked me

I go now to rend my garments and gnash my teeth.

Or something.

Yeah, I'm guessing that I'm on either the "not this time" or "not until later" list for Issue 21 beta.

I'm holding out for my being in a later wave of the beta. Though if it really is only 4 - 6 weeks away from launch that would be nice.

I cried when I pulled up the board and couldn't see the beta forums.

Then I logged in and was sad that they still weren't there.

LOL, the logout bug got me a couple times in the last beta.

I'd hit the boards and wouldn't see the beta section, and start freaking out... "I know I was in beta yesterday! Do they think I leaked something!?! What did I do wro--oh, I'm logged out. *click*"

If it happens, that's great, but I'm not getting my hopes up to be crushed. Instead I'll just spend my free time playing flash games or something else.

Kinda doesn't. I'd pick you and Snow Globe any day. There are some other folks that haven't said anything lately, so I'm counting on them.
