Beta VIP is inaccessible to the public.
Beta has Titan Weapons in the market, you have to purchase it before it will show up in character creation. It says 800pp in the main window, but once you get to the checkout window it says 0pp.

Is VIP Beta supposed to be accessible to all VIPs? Because it isn't, currently.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Based on past experience, they do a pass of the account database and copy everyone who's eligible for the beta across to the beta server just before they make it live for testing, so if you become a VIP after that time your account won't be present.

Been a subscriber since 2007, so guessing it's not working this way.

The last word I heard from them was that the VIP Beta server is not available and we should be using the Beta server.
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.

Well, bosh and piffle. Have to go stomp my feet and cry, now!

Gonna feel strange not having so many of the regulars in attendance this year. You, Brax, Arwen, PhantomEnigma, infallible, Sooner, Janlee, etc.

Eh, it was 3 AM when Bloodspeaker was posting that. He might have still been half asleep or about to fall asleep at the keyboard.
I give him the benefit of the doubt solely on the basis of Samuraiko's brownies.

They really need to remove the one named VIP, and then rename the one we use to VIP, since it seems to be harder to figure out than it should be... o.o

Or name them closed beta / open beta... less confusion that way (for a dummeh like me anyway)

What problem? That you can't get on Beta VIP? That's not a problem. That's deliberate. Beta VIP is inaccessible to the public.|

That you can't purchase Titan Weapons? Then you're searching wrong. Search for Titan Weapons, then buy Titan Weapons.
If you're on the Test installation, you're doing it wrong; you need to be on the Beta installation. Instructions are found here.

Beta Testing restricted to VIPs anyway, so just hide Beta VIP and we're good to go.

Because some might interpret "public" as "everyone, not just VIPs". Oh, and because it's named "Beta VIP". Simple, really.|

If it has nothing to do with VIP status, it shouldn't be named that.

The Titan Weapons was the part I was talking about. It does that zero thing every time I tried as well.

That's not a problem. That's telling you that Titan Weapons will deduct a grand total of 0 PP from your total when you buy it. For Beta, just ignore the 800 PP, and buy it.

Soo, It's just a closed beta, Right. V.I.P or Reg-Subs can't get in right now?
It's VIP Beta. If you can see this (I22 beta forums) you can get in.

I've got the beta client installed, and when I launch I see the beta server and beta vip server.... beta doesn't have the titan weapons available on creation, I assume these are available on the vip server? How do I get there? It tells me it is not publicly available. I'm a vip (or paying anyway) player.
