invites should start at noon est on gamespot  wed. aug 13

Wasnt it the 14th??

He means the applications will be up on Gamespot today. It was supposed to have been yesterday but they had some technical issues and postponed it. The beginning of alpha is still scheduled for the 14th.

hopefully the window of opportunity isn't short as actually getting to the website is a problem

over 25 minutes for me so far

keep refreshing the link. I got the registration that way. Also, need to dl from gamespot. Don't use the link in the email. 4 hr dl for me. Guess I will leave it running during work.

yeah - at work right now so trying to do it on the sly isn't easy

hoping i can do this when i get home for lunch

Bah i missed it!!!!!11

Wow, the application process is already over?

Lame.  Some of us have to work during the day, cheapshot.

yeah sad isn't it

got home for lunch a little before three (yes, i have to work too) but it was too late

Got in. That was painful.

Well, seems I missed my chance as well, but- A simple key giveaway? Looking at the comments on that Gamespot page I'm thinking that this first "batch" of testers is going to be a real, real mixed bag. Haha.

If i read the news on the games site..when alpha starts Aug 14th thats it...no more waves...those are the alpha testers till early 2009.

4 hours later they released another wave of alpha invites...FIFO stile like first time...

and...saying that you are in closed alpha is clear breaking of NDA ... cccc

im sure that after two weeks kids who tought "ooo a free game" will give up when they realise their character will be reseted 20 times, they will have to download daily patches, they will have limited area to play in etc...+ client crashes and who knows what

something along those lines anyway

we do know that most of those that got a key certainly don't have daytime jobs

pretty strange sign up system they have chosen - don't think that bodes well for the game itself
