Beta Application News and Discussion Thread (http://forums.play-earthrise.com/index.php?topic=2533.0)
Saw this hasn't been posted yet but Yay.
Now that we're gearing up beta talk with our most recent news on the application, let's get some common questions out of the way. Smiley
Where is the application?
This link is pending.
What are these applications for?
At present, these applications are for Earthrise's beta, in all stages from closed, limited beta to open beta with wider access to the general public.
What is the first stage and when does it start?
Earthrise is starting with a closed, limited beta. This is slightly different than a friends and family beta and is available to a wider set of people. For those accustomed to MMO betas, people will be let into the beta in groups/waves of people. There will be a beta application period before it begins, though. We have to know who you are before we can get you playing!
Why does my post/thread keep disappearing? I'm just asking what date the beta starts, or explaining why I'll be an awesome tester and here's all the experience I have!
The forums are not the place to apply to beta, or to campaign to get in it once it officially begins. Additionally, all forum rules are still in effect. Spamming the forums will not increase your chances to get in the beta, and in fact, might decrease them.
If I fill out the beta application first am I guaranteed to get in?
Beta applications don't really work like that. There are things to consider such as your system specs and things like that.
Can I fill out an application based on a system I'm going to get?
Please fill out the application based on machines that actually exist. Smiley
How will I know if I got in?
If you fill in the information completely and properly with a valid e-mail address, you will hear about your application status through that.
Can you give me an update on my application?
Actually, we can't. We are expecting a lot of applications, so this is unfeasible.
I didn't get in with the first wave of people, does that mean I've been rejected entirely from beta? Do I need to go apply again?
Absolutely not. The applications will be kept on file the entire period of beta.
Please keep an eye on this thread! We'll be updating it with information as we have more to share, and as things change of course.
