But as for beta 1 in particular, I think the majority of invites to apply have been sent out. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. Some people didn't receive emails because their address changed or had a typo, but we're trying to resolve them.
We also filtered out people who didn't have higher end systems. Yes, this is what Zack is going to kill me for saying as we said we wouldn't reveal any of our criteria. Right now, though, the game isn't optimized and requires some hefty stuff. Thsi doesn't worry me for release, because I know what will be available then and those sytems will be much faster than the fastest system now, but at a very reasonable price.
If you were borderline, we let you in (assuming you were picked, and we've only brought in about 300 thus far), but sent you an email reccomending hardware upgrades. If you were well under, though, well, we don't want you to have a bad experience.
You know how I feel about system specs. I like to announce them as late as possible because I know the game will be optimized and I know how quickly newer, faster, and chaper hardware comes out. But some people would look at our specs now and panic. In fact, some beta testers really have. They've posted that we are doomed because we re too high spec. But we won't be at release. It's just to have a good experience in beta now, you need to have the financial means to have a pretty nice machine. And not everybody does.
na dann gratzi *heul*
