kejim Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I signed up for the beta. Does it cost anything?
Thew Rydur Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 This doesn't really belong in the RP forums but, if you do get accepted to beta then I think there is a fee for them to send you the CD.
DarthLord Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 this is kinda off subject isnt it ? lol i thought this was RP ? not beta ?'s hmmm o well
Thew Rydur Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I believe it was only 6 or 7, but I don't really know... I never got accpeted. @ DarthLord: Yeah, I'll see if I can get Wraith or Jan to move it.
kejim Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 Last time I beta tested a game I got paid and I got a free copy of the game. Is one of those the same here?
kejim Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 If I get chosen for the beta do I get a free copy of the game when it comes out, like every other game I tested?
GreenJediGrinch Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I would think not, but thats just an assumption.
setsuko Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 What? I've never gotten a retail copy of any MMORPG I've done betatesting for. It's not fair! (and no, since there'll be a lot of thousands of beta testers in total, there'll be no free copies)
kejim Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 but I think that since they are choosing who will beta test, they might. Probably not though.
setsuko Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 They chosed people when I was in the AO beta. And they were darn picky when I got into the DAoC beta too. Did I get money for that? Hah! Did I get a free copy? You kiddin' me?
Thew Rydur Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 If they did give out free copies it would only be for betas 1 and 2, cause like Set said, they definately aren't going to give out 50,000 free copies.
setsuko Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 What?! You mean they won't take a chance to lose $2.25 million in revenues? What is this world coming to?
Jan Gaarni Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 This is as on topic as it can get, Kejim. This forum is the Star Wars Galaxies General Discussion. You made the right choice. As for the beta cost or not, I do beleive you have to buy it, yes. Seem to recall that was the case. The bare minimum I do know you will have to pay is the shipment and handling.
Jared Sinn Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 My guess is that most people who get the final beta disk will be even more eager to shell out money for the retail release... The beta will essentially be analagous to a small "complementary" sample of glitterstim, with directions on how to buy more JS
Jan Gaarni Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 The 6 first posts in this thread was moved from the RP Forum. Sorry if it will confuse anyone.
kejim Posted February 19, 2003 Author Posted February 19, 2003 Ok, glad we cleared that up. If I signed up for the beta 2 days ago how long should it take them to choose me (if they do)?
Jan Gaarni Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Beta 2 has already started and is soon finished, so I wouldn't stay up late wondering if you are gonna get picked. You'd have a better chance applying to Beta 3.
