I'm a true veteran player, I didn't really care for noob island or the damn arrival hall. Except for maybe the pretty graphics that they had.
To me it sounds more like appreciation for those people who, without knowing anything about this, subscribed for 6 and 12 months. I didn't, and I probably wouldn't have based on the information that you may or may not be selected. Who knows when the cutting date was? Is it for everyone on 12 months? Or just people who were on 12 months? Does it really matter? Is it important to you to playtest a beta that's probably really, really buggy and full of issues? Worth a lottery ticket of a 100 euros? I don't think so. Just wait till open beta and you'll be much happier.

After reading some of the posts on reply to the thread, I gotta say I'm sure FC will come to their senses and rethink the whole "Pay us more and you'll be rewarded" thing.
I myself have been playing AO for quite a while now (dec 2001~), and even if the new engine would be a nice thing to have, I'd be more interested in the prof rebalance and fixing the game's economy.
The engine is just a secondary thing for me, and I'm sure for many too.

funcom dont care about players that have played many years they just care about cash.
I agree with you, just disappointed in their way of thinking I don't feel like a valued customer, or equally treat on the same level as other paying customers, 1 month subscription or 12 months.. does it matter end of the day anyone who writes on the forum has paid money to funcom to play their game..
Anyways it's good that they have the beta released to a select few... just need to push it out to whoever else is chosen to test it, so it will speed the overall process it's a step in the right direction just badly done.

Well, its not everyday when I google for funcom or access funcom.com.
Oh noes j00 want me to bring my "Join date: 2004" main to pwn yo? lols @ forum pvp
This is a comment that hasn't been commented upon. It's very important to know this from an official source, since most closed betas have an EULA themselves which forbids the testers to release any and all information about it.
So, Genele, will testers be able to take pictures freely and record vids? One can never assume anything
And even worse is that those who pay 1 months subscriptions over at least six months are paying more than those who pay for a whole year at once It's not rocket science. They (FC) just don't like thinking thing through

Very good question ... especially now that we can add additional character slots from the Item Store.
I assume someone in Funcom will move Toni Akseli to a new location or else make the Hoverchair an item you can claim for Free from the item store like the xp helmet, etc.
It would be nice to have an official response ...

Any chance you'll get a rework of the website before the engine launches? I personally think that is needed to atract new people if you advertise with a link to the site...

Why is everybody so excited about this "beta" thing? I ccl about this imaginary beta. Why would I want to spend my play time filing bug reports, send petitions and typing stuck commands? To add a "In since Beta 2" on my forum sig? I can do that without the waste of time.
PS: Anyone claiming that people want in on test servers to find exploits they can use on the live servers is a damn horrible disgusting cheap retarded evil dishonest liar who pees in bed and sleeps with his shoes on.
Some people just love (or loved) this game and can't wait to see it in its fancy new dress. Also, playing in a beta can be annoying as hell, but it can also be super fun. There's bound to be a lot of bugs that make strange screenshots or are just fun to play around with.

Woot! Grats FC! Try and get more people involved before the holidays though... More people with spare time on their hands
@Masta: I love breaking things! That's why I want to get in the beta.
Sorry, but me paying 8 months out of 12 on a mothly basis means more money for FC than someone buying a 1 year subscription:
My 8 months mean +130 euros. 12 months subs mean 110 euros.
Since we pay more, can us people in the Euro zone have priority over people paying on $ )
Have i missed it or have i still not seen anything about minimum requirements other than "Have a look at AoC requirements"?
Wow. So much qq..
If you cant pay for 12 months, getting beta access is the least of your problems. Fix your life first.
I would submit that even for those who live in what we could refer to as "the west" or Australia or Kora or Japan, forking out for a year in advance for a game is quite a bit of money. Especially if you have multiple accounts. Add to that the fact that you have no idea of knowing if the game will be around that long.
And then there is ofc the ppl who live in countries where the avg income is substantially lower. How are they supposed to "fix their lives first"?
