Odd, I received mine a few seconds after I registered for it.Quote:

Well, I got an "answer" about the data-relevancy, whether I believe their "answer" is another story altogether:
Quote:
Hello <first name>,
Thanks for getting in touch. The relevancy is to help sort country names, so that someone who types the letter "U" will be more likely to get "United States" than "Uganda." The data-relevancy has nothing whatever to do with prioritizing applicants.
Sincerely yours,

The reason why I don't believe it, is because other drop down menus don't have data-relevancy added when it comes to countries.
Too bad, I chose US in both of the applications :>Quote:

They'll prob get low end rigs as well btw to test whats the lowest limit.Quote:

Since they have made the game "old user" friendly, I am more than positive that they are spreading out the testing to target everyone from low to high end specs. Besides, Arena is a smart company that knows how to make the $$. Keeping it B2P and allowing low end spec users to play would increase their target audience and their profit by almost twice that what these moron developers are doing with these new MMORPGs.
Also, keeping it B2P and not thinking of targeting the low end users is super moronic in a business move.
Actually, their goal is to optimize it to run on weaker systems, so arguably you could have a better chance of getting in with low specs, while the stupidly high specs could potentially be at a disadvantage.Quote:

Correct...Quote:

Interesting. Well then, I guess I'm going to have to pray extra hard now.Quote:
Responses to my previous post
Everything they asked will affect your chances of getting in the beta.
Except for the e-mail address which is for contacting purposes :>
So umm, I'm wondering how many people they are actually going to invite from those 1million...
I mean, about 10-20 thousand is the usual amount for a free to play mmo right?
so maybe a 50-100 thousand margin could be pretty good scaling, but that many people would be hectic... but then again, it's not gonna be any different at launch so they might make this a "big" beta.
what do you guys think? how many will they actually select?
How do I tell my age that I put on an account?Quote:
