[EU] - Guild Beta Starting Soon!

That's right folks, the moment many of you have been waiting for has finally drawn near: as per information available to WHA, the European invites for Guild Beta participants will go out within the next four weeks. Guild leaders have received emails asking for the exact information of their guild's participants. The deadline to send in this information is Wednesday, July, 2nd 2008. That means you do not have to worry if one guild already got its invites and yours didn't, it's an ongoing process.

Even more importantly, the NDA is not going to drop with the start of Guild Beta. This means that all participants are required to follow the same rules as "normal" beta testers. This means that all they are allowed to say is a) that there is a beta and b) that they are in it. Commenting on the game or posting footage in any form is still prohibited. This rule also includes guild members of Beta guilds that are not in beta themselves.

Congratulations, guys. You deserved it after this wait. Have fun, but don't forget the testing!

Additional requirements are:
  • Participants have to be 18 years or above.
  • Everyone working for or otherwise associated with the media or any form of press may not participate.
  • Everyone working for or otherwise associated with a gaming company or the gaming industry may not participate.
  • Everyone whose computer does not meet the minimum requirements will not be invited right away. The requirements change frequently, however, so we cannot give you a detailed list. Please make sure, however, that only guild members with strong computers are on your list.

So Guild Beta from August to September and "Open" beta from September to October, maybe five days of live head start and release during the first or second week of October? Maybe? Optimistically? Shoot me down gently if you must.

Interesting. So seems guilds that missed the first wave of guild invites still have a chance. Crosses fingers.

Hey all,

It's important to note that the above refers to the way in which GOA is handling EU Guild Beta invitations.

We, Mythic, for the NA Guild Beta are using a different system.

Maybe you can elaborate?
