Dr. Zaius Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 If you think about this logicly, then you have good chances of getting into the beta test. Here let me explain; Ok, the community on the main SWG boards just reached 500,000. And, the devs stated that there would be at least 50,000 beta testers. Do the math, and thats about a 1 in 10 chance of getting into beta. So just think positively, and you might get in.
UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I don't think you needed to start another thread to point this out, there is already another thread you started that this could fall under. I pointed this same thing out on another forum, which I do not go to anymore. I agree with your stats, too.
J.K Luke Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 hmmm... I used to feel sad for not being able to beta test SWG, however, when I think of it, I would prefer to play the full version as it gives me a fresh look and start, although having played the beta would give me an edge over the non-beta testers.
Inkel Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I'm sure in coming weeks that they will invite alot more testers. I don't want to sound mean or greedy, but I really don't think we need anymore. I don't know if I can say anymore with NDA, but it's for a good reason.
J.K Luke Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 they need more beta testers to stress test the server capability imho
Dark Moon Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I'm not even going to try to get into beta, playing now might be discouraging due to any bugs, etc. Plus, I don't want to have any preconceived ideas, and be disappointed if the game is changed and certain features I liked were excluded. And, 12.5% chance? That's a lot...

I too would perfer to play the stable version, alot of people have said to be that they cannot play the beta due to stabillity issues.
Dr. Zaius Posted May 13, 2003 Author Posted May 13, 2003 a 12.5% chance, wouldnt it be 1 out of 10, or 10%? Please explain to me how it would be 12.5%
Acrylic Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Hmm....I think I'd have a good chance at becoming a Beta Tester. I was chosen to beta test PlanetSide, but I dont wanna, cuz you have to download it. 11 hours. I also applied for Final Fantasy XI. I'd like to sign up for this beta test. How would I go about doing that? EDIT- Zaius...by 12.5%, he was using the exact numbers, you ESTIMATED...so...thats how.
J.K Luke Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Dr. Zaius: a 12.5% chance, wouldnt it be 1 out of 10, or 10%? Please explain to me how it would be 12.5% Hmmm... that would mean 500,000 subscribed community with 40,000 intended beta testers OR 625,000 subscribed community with 50,000 intended beta testers OR I'm totally wrong Anyway, how do you know the main SWG community board has 500,000 Dr Zaius?

GreenJediGrinch Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 I based 12.5% on this: 400,000 community members, and only 50,000 are gettign invites. 25% would be 100,000 so half of 25 is 12.5% for 50,000.
