And so it begins (beta that is)

n2sooners · July 2005

Well, the time has finally come! We are about to enter our first stage of Beta!
Beta 0 (also commonly known as Friends & Family Beta) is about to begin. This first phase is comprised of a very small group of players that are selected from among people we know personally and know very well.
As we progress into other phases of Beta and are ready to start selecting participants from among our community members, we will let you know right here in this forum. When we are ready to move into each phase and begin taking applications, you will hear it here first!

Where is your proof?

Unless it's specified somewhere (which I have not seen anywhere) then it's mere speculation vs fact.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Bah, I thought this thread was about the next beta lol Beta 0 is for friends and families /puke. Let us people in who will actually pay for it not get it free!

What Feldron said is accurate, albeit perhaps a bit misleading.

Beginning with Beta1 (they're in Beta0 now) , sign-ups for testing will be available to members of the forums. There's no information on what criteria will be used to select the testers, although I'm sure system specs will play some part in it.

All members of the Vanguard forums will not get into beta, but I don't think that's what Feldron meant to imply. The point is that it will be members of the Vanguard Community. Not people from gaming news sites, or uber-guilds in other games, or anything like that.
