I am in Beta 3
This post isn't to show off or anything; rather to let you guys know the great progress we and SOE are making. I just now from home logged into Beta 3 on the SOE servers, created a character, and walked around a bit in one of the Qalian starting villages.
So we're definitely getting there. There's a few minor bugs (like the font not showing up, so it's using the default font), and a few issues with the patcher. As soon as we get those fixed, we will get all existing beta testers in, see how that goes, and it shouldn't be more than a week after the existing beta testers are in that we start bringing in batches of new players from the various pools (board, CGM, guilds, etc.) The only thing that would hold any of this up would be 1. problems the existing beta testers find and b. making sure that all of the beta 3 features are ready (they need to be tested, like, for example, ships).
The account creation was very easy -- used a station ID, code, etc. -- very smooth. The patcher was very nice (other than a few issues as I mentioned above that need to be tweaked). So the overall 'get a beta tester into Vanguard' process I would say is orders of magnitude better than it was in previous betas.

well i am leaving for vacation so hopefully i have a beta3 invite waiting for me when i get back next week!
Yes, it's looking like 10 days to two weeks until the Beta 3 invites actually get sent out, so you guys can vacation in peace.
Make sure you have a Sony Station ID. If you already have one, just log onto it to make sure it is still functioning.

I'm glad to see the change over(from MGS to SOE servers) is finally coming together. I imagine that it couldnt have been very easy to do.
Hopefully that beta 3 invite will arrive and my old system can handle Vanguard

i had to come home early, and i am sure the invites have no started yet but i still had to check my email to be sure LOL!
The latest projected date when Beta 3 invitations will be sent out is Monday, August 14.
So, everybody come back and vacation and start clicking on your e-mail.
The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
