Thanks Kudane, Good Night!

It is 6:38 in the morning, sitting on pins and needles here!! Good luck to everyone and thanks for this exciting contest Kudane. It does get the blood pumping!

:D Woot! thank you EQ Interface for allowing me to have a chance at getting into EQ 2 Beta.. I already have 2 friends in it now .. I can't wait to join them (maybe :o )

The game is a 2 gig download... aka why they said they do it on fridays so that you can play by the weekend.

I, too, give my thanks
 

Ahhhh, sweet beta... how I would love to get in thee. :p

pins and needles....
 

Okay Kudane... I am totally on edge!!!

/em rolls his lucky dice and they come up...

:eek:

Who won ? :)

Good info, doesn't change anything. With 2 more beta give-aways to go, we'll be in november and people will still be new to beta. Why bother adding a beta tester a week or two or even a month before release?

Again, I'd love to be a beta tester -- heck at least I'd see this game this year. I'm mostly irked because I've paid for the pre-order and the starter kit and it was just a donation to sony for vapor-ware. People have been talking about this game coming out since March.

People who say they want it well tested before release as an argument. If sony is still uncertain of a date, they shouldn't be taking pre-orders. Last spring in EQ Live, there were like 3 months were monsters were not always spawning above ground but would still kill you (and say that you can't see them if you try to defend yourself.) You could fall through the geomotry at any point and wait hours or days for a guide to rescue you. Etc. Etc. Sony isn't known for their good testing and they are certainly known for charging their players anyway.

I've paid them money for a game that doesn't exist and I think they owe me a release date. This beta contest is nifty -- it raises awareness that the game might someday exist and creates an elite club of folks who can just look at the rest of us suckers and say "oh, I signed an NDA and can't talk about how great it is."

Frankly, the NDA is about as iritating as the fact that I paid money and haven't seen a release date. The "expected in 2004" is getting old. If they lifted the NDA, at least we could see if our money is buying us anything interesting.

as of right now, EQII has no official release date, but if you look on something like ebgames's website, they have it set to ship the 15th of november

I can only wish
 

I can only wish to be able to see beta, nope Im not begging (just wishing) nothing wrong with that right :) Gratz to those that got in..

Who won hehehehe
 

I saw that you can post the winners here ... I was wondering where they post the winners. Good Luck and Congradulations to all of you have signed up... Can't wait for the game...

release date
 

I was told by an employee at Gamestop that they would have EQII Nov. 22nd if i am not mistaken...i know it was the 20 something lol....i just hope i get a chance to beta test it so i can see if i really wanna spend the money to buy it...the collector's edition was 89.99 and the regular edition was 45.99....they also carry the game cards there too, they had the 3mon. gamecard for EQ, EQII, and planetside which was 45.99....i am sure prices will vary in different states lol

I spent the 89 bucks for it.... wish I could beta test it as well, but that would be just to help find bugs and stuff. I can't think of anything I hate worse than playin a game only to have it crash ya to desktop or lockup alltogether. Those sorts of things I'd try and find, hunt them down and eliminate them. LOL.

That and beings I already spent the money on it, I'd like to do something to ensure it was worth it, and to see it for myself.

Yeyeah
 

Nice, so generous of SoE :D

question
 

what are the specs i need for beta..because i know for a fact! that i cant play EQ2 on this comp :( :confused:

Im sure the specs for beta are the same as what they have posted for retail version.

Hmmm, by the way... Whats the status on our beta winners claiming there prizes so far?

curious too
 

Did all the person(s) that where notified respond that they where selected for the Beta? I am curious too :cool:

another question arises
 

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: What are The odds of Winning the ...lottery...i mean raffle for the beta im sure its like winning the lottery right? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I'd love to give it a go.

Canul Eredel
Human Ranger - Jeweler
Ambasador - The Balance

Ya, think were waiting to see if some of the last lucky peeps didn't claim there prize. That, and the 2nd drawing for beta... Good luck to us all!

Nothing better to play
 

I have nothing better to play I sit here all weekend browsing the web, now it gonna be work every day Mon-Friday.... I surely hope something happens Whether its EQ2 or WoW... I will play EQ2 more than WoW but I need something to play here soon or I am going to pull my hair out... AARRGGHH!!! :eek:

do what i do addictinggames.com

Good Luck
 

Just want to say Good Luck to everyone for tomorrow's drawings....I so hope i am one of the lucky winners but i kinda doubt it beings that i hardly ever win anything....i sux at winning lol especially at a raid or in a group when rolling on items.....so i really doubt i get chosen, that is why i am not getting my hopes up high but hey i can still do some wishful thinking :p

gots a question...do i have to start beta right away cause i still need to upgrade my comp because it doesnt even run the CC disk

What about giving http://www.ryl.net a try?? I play it to I get EQ2 beta or Eq2..

Its a open beta 4 all... And it a great game I think..
