User blog comment:Legate Alexandros/Beta test...I missed it!!!/@comment-8248675-20140117044657

Unfortunately you did for this beta session. It was a weekend long, starting Friday night at 6PM, trough Sunday till midnight. It have started on January 10th and ended on January 12th. I got my invite for this session on January 7th. I couldn't participate in this one myself as the old laptop I am using at my sister's house didn't had enough memmory, no matter what I did for few days before the session started. When I failed to install everything by Saturday night, I gave up trying. If I was in Michigan, I would have been playing it, first time I missed the beta session since I was invited in August. But don't worry, once you get one invitation, you are always in beta and if you have registered at least once, you should be able to play when the next one will come. All you have to do is download the client on any computers, if you are going to be playing on a different computer one of the session, they are goingto ask you to confirm your IP adress by e-mail. I hope that information was helpful, I am sorry that you didn't get to play this time, you are not the only one. I hope that I will figure out something better then this old lap top next time they have beta. You know, this close to Release Date, the next beta might be an open beta, that is just my speculations. They have recently been doing betas every other month or so, so the way I see it, the next beta would have to be in March. April 4th (The day after my wife's-until further notice birthday) is when the game is going to be released on PC and Mac. So that would be cutting it really close to release date. Ofcourse, that is just a prediction here, based on the pattern I have been noticing in past few months since September. September, few beta tests. October, no beta tests. November, one beta test in the end of the month. December, no beta tests. January, so far one beta test around the begining of the month. With this rate, there will be no tests in February and then they would probably have some in March. Oh and in August and September they were doing mostly stress tests, I think couple of weekend long sessions and the wraped the September with the test of Cyrodil. But I think I should stop talking right now, before I will feel a greater urge to go into details. I hope I didn't say anything that breaks my non disclosure agreement. Anyways, those that have got beta invites only, should be answering to this topic.
