Now to forestall the inevitable questions:
  • No this isn't the guild beta. We'll be announcing that specifically when it happens - as in 'Here is the Guild Beta. Hurray!'
  • Although we've only announced one invite wave and the US has announced several, ours is about the same as the combined US invite totals.
  • The invites haven't gone out yet, we're sending them out early next week. We want to make sure that all our existing beta testers have a chance to get the client first before we add a few thousand more to the mix..
  • If you don't get an email, you can still see if you're in by logging into the war-europe website. If you are invited the NDA will pop up. You cannot miss it.

I'll be seeing some of you in the beta soon!

Thanks Iain once again for your great work, Ill keep my fingers crossed.

Tho i do feel it was abit unfair how Mythic sent there invites out and how much stick and pressure you got from the pubic about no EU invites.

And ill start praying for an invite for next week ;)

Just out of curiosity. How many people are in beta now and how many will the wave invite? Or is that something you're not allowed to say, Iain?

I can't give total numbers for the beta but next week's wave will add several thousand to it. We have done several waves as big as or bigger than this in the past so this one isn't particularly unusual.

if i get one, it'll give my secondary pc (XP4000+/6800GT SLI/3GB RAM/XP Pro) its first action in a couple of months as it's been on my other desk since it was superseded by a newer and faster one.

My newer faster one (Q6600 oc'd to 3.2GHz/8800GTX/3GB RAM) unfortunately has vista on it which isn't allowed take part in the beta action yet so the old one still has some life in it yet. :)

Great news Iain, thanks for the heads up.

Just a matter of crossing fingers and getting blind drunk for 2-3 days to make it pass quicker.

Does it matter how many times you update your profile and how many fansites youre active on when they invite you to beta?

My computer is brand new and i log in from time to time on the official EU site, but i havent got an invite... Yet...

Awesome, now all we need is the NDA lifted and we can all enjoy the endless QQ spam threads from those selected to "beta test" (read: play a semi-finished product for free and then whinge about it in an uninformed manner following 10 minutes of "play").

I'd like to see NDA extended all the way to release, the pointless whine threads are inevitable, tediously predictable and generally unproductive.

Gag them all imo, let those few beta testers who are there to actually test the game and report bugs in the hope of improving the game come release have some peace. Hopefully this might allow the beta to achieve its aims and the entire playerbase will be the more appreciative when the product is finally released with less bugs.

But who am i kidding, let the whine fest begin!!

Beta not compatible with vista?:eek7: is this true? anybody got a link where they are stating this?.. that means i cant get in :(

Vista is a supported OS. A long time ago, it wasn't but pretty early on in the process that changed.

Thanks for the info... after reading the previous post I changed my dxdiag info to a XP export just to be sure :D
