¡¡¡¡¡WARNING!!!!!
Per Red5, Invites will likely start soon but the actual day is not set. The only post we have to go by is by Phobos saying Beta invites go out after they get back from PAX on Tuesday. After being anytime Tuesday or after.
On the other hand, it is sounding like it is 'soon' as in this week. But because they arn't nailing down the date, please don't be surprised at any delays. Either way, this is a decent thread to keep for invites.

EDIT: To sign up for a chance at Beta, you just need to go to their site (it's in the right reddit bar) and make a forum account (or just click the big 'Request Beta Access' and it does the same thing). That's it, nothing special past that. While involvement in the community forums are not required, it is still nice to get new input there as the Dev's do read them and have already implemented some of the suggestions there.

Any invites will most likely be sent through e-mail and not forum names (guessing now) so hold that thought until this process becomes more clear. I am not trying to burst any bubbles but there might also be a cooldown period between the initial invites and any 'invite friends' codes. Just like Google Wave among other shared releases.

Hopefully this helps clear things up a bit better so people don't go raging off without knowing. While some people like me hang out on the forums, not everyone has read through the large amount of information there to sort this stuff out.

Hey all,

Hope you all are digging the news coming out of PAX for Firefall. We had a great time. I will do a write-up about the show and grab some pictures from the event, but first I really wanted to jump on here and clear up a few misconceptions that are going on about the beta.

- People that registered at PAX are given just as much weight as anyone else who registered here or at any other show.
- We need to merge the database for all the people that registered on the show floor and then give those people time to confirm their e-mail addresses.
- Our goal is to send out invites by the end of this week (pacific time, so don't go all GMT on me )
- I will announce when invites are sent so you all know when to check your e-mail.
- Invites will start out small, but will grow over time and grow quickly.
- Tests will be scheduled, not 24/7.

Hope that answers most of the questions and concerns I've seen flying around. Let me know if you have any other questions and expect to see a lot more news over the next few days.

I will definitely be playing this game. From the bit I played at PAX it's got a lot of potential. The way I'd describe this game would be to take TF2, slow it down to about tribes speed and add tribes jetpacks, then put all of that into a guildwars style MMO.
