Anyone know when they're going to announce who's in this round of beta? And/or when they're going to allow you to download the client?

I've already got the outline for my essay. Sadly, it's probably too long to do entirely in limericks and haiku. I should just TL;DR it.
I've an idea for an essay
But at the length I am meant to convey
the words I'll use are
TL;DR
Succinct is the style of the day

I just worry that your "essay" is actually a manifesto, and I just hope Hartsman can meet up to the demands.

Tanks would win because 'mechs are impossibly stupid. Oh no, no, no. That won't do at all. Entries will need to make a logically sound comparison on the basis of mobility, firepower, survivability, and logistics. Either that or be really funny. Massive bonus points if charts are involved. |

Are we going with the tanks vs mechs than? Or did you decide on another way to compete for it?

Other than get that website traffic and force people to sign up with free accounts?

Fine. If you're not going to make this easy then I was just saying that to flatter you. A mech would kick a tank's armor any day.  |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I think they were the "you have a chance to get in.." variety. I only read an RSS feed though, never went to check. If they were the guarantee ones it had to say VIP in it somewhere.

I believe the Curse key is the same as the community key and Pax key, which is basically giving you a higher chance to get in on one of the weekends. I don't believe I've heard of that being the same as a VIP key.

I didn't get in, but I have a lot of stuff to do the next few weekends so it is probably a good thing.

No VIP key here, but I just got my invite for the beta event this weekend, which is nice given I'll have a ton of time to play it this weekend.

Got in too, and this is the perfect weekend for me. If it was any later I'd have to cheat on Cata.  |

So I lied about not getting a key. I checked my email and now I have one.
Guess I get to see what 20 levels of the game are like.

The idea is cool, but mechs really are an impractical design that has more to do with human vanity than any sound military design. Walking on 2 legs, with the increased structural demands, and higher profile makes for a gaint unstable target in any practical application. As much as I hate the little shits, it's not much of a stretch to suppose that ewoks could whup up on AT-STs as depicted in Return of the Jedi. So I think we can safely rule out mechs as any kind of effective military development.
More than awesome tanks or guerrilla tactics (which are both irreplaceable depending on military objectives,) the future of warfare will be decided by unmanned technology. Aside from what is possible in fighter jets without a pilot, the first country that manages to field flesh eating nano-bot swarms will earn my respect and fear.
Also, see you this weekend, 'fos!

Uh, so what are peoples opinions on possibly being charged to be in a beta? Not that anyone is suggesting that might happen in the future or anything... |
