The only thing that will determine if you get into beta or not is how much station cash you have purchased recently.

I'm not sure how the Vanguard selection went , but I distinctly remember you got shouted the fuck down if you dare questioned something about the vision on the forums.

You know what's happened , the beta signup wasn't supposed to go live and those who got in before they closed it now will now be flagged to "absolutely not let these freaks camping our site into the beta" .............

(and I'm just aggravated I missed it :p )
I just got a confirmation about F&F beta... So early bird...

Might not be a popular opinion , but I'd honestly not have any issue with them selling beta access from the start. As in still having random signups getting in periodically , but pay X and you get in guaranteed on this date/phase. Possibly even tiers to get in from the very beginning and scaled from there.

I see Greenlight games on Steam doing it and some kickstarters , don't really see a problem with SOE doing it for this.

I'd prefer that over only people at SoE Live getting beta access which is what I'm afraid will happen.

They did it with PS2, and it was a good deal considering you got the SC value and some in game perks. Id do that as well.

A ton of companies have been allowing to buy your way into beta so I could see them doing it, especially considering they already did it with PS2.

As long as I get some station cash or something out of it, I'd totally do it.

Of course it also would provide endless amusement on the beta forums for the "I paid for this shit and its not working right , fix it now" threads.
 
F&F being ongoing does'nt mesh well with Brad's recent tweet about him getting excited after seeing a preview.

Unless they don't trust him, and EVERYONE at sony is in except him

Preorders will come with beta access almost for sure... It's just smart business.
Not just that, But the more expensive Pre Order packs with more station cash, as well as pre order items would bet would get in early as well as maybe a Launch head start ex amount of days ahead.

Guessing they would have regular version, some type of deluxe then some type of collectors.

So you are correct sir.

I'd pay for a beta. I have nothing to do and am eager to see what is up in the world of Norrath

This might be something I actually order the physical box from Amazon on if they have the usual preorder/release day delivery with Prime etc.

Didn't keep any of my old PC game boxes , but do wish had kept the original EQ one. Back when they were those large boxes on the shelves. (I remember I think the D2 collector box was a huge one ).
