Avatea refers to it as VIP Beta, not Open Beta.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

VIP would be their new fancy marketing lingo for "people with an active subscription". So if that criteria applies to you, then you are part of the VIP beta!


I just want to know who I peeved off that I'm not getting closed beta invites anymore... :|

They gave a specific time for it to start. (6PM for me in Chicago, I think.)

But I might as well try. Doesn't take very long to load, I've got the beta client on my SSD.

I know that. But it still doesn't mean that I didn't promptly go and try to login now. Just because they clearly told me to hold my horses and wait until tomorrow after work.... It's always possible, [not likely,] that someone accidentally hit the wrong key and opened it early.

*Raises hand*

I didn't even wait to read this thread. I got home, opened my browser, looked at top thread in this section, promptly updated the beta client, closed the browser, and waited until it was finished updating. I'm back now that I've tasted disappointment...

YOU RUINED THE TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT FOR ME!

Far warning. The Test Server is not the BETA SERVER. They are different servers and if you don't have the beta server downloaded and patched up for tomorrow you will want to go HERE and read how to do so. Or you won't be able to join everyone for a fun and exciting time right around 4:00 PM Pacifc.

Sounds good to me. I mean really being hyper caffinated should be a requirement of playing... shouldn't it?

Well, at the very least I want to see the "new intro screen" RadDidIt mentioned.
