From the official blog
For the past two months, the Red 5 team has been hard at work preparing for the launch of our beta while at the same time travelling the world spreading the word of Firefall. We stated in previous [url="http://firefallthegame.com/blog/2011/08/03/firefall-beta-announcement"]posts that the beta would begin shortly after PAX Prime.
Well, PAX Prime is over. The current plan is that by the end of this week, we will begin sending out invites to participate in the upcoming scheduled beta tests. I wanted to take some time to clarify a few things that I’ve seen come up on the forums, on twitter, and on other websites regarding the Firefall beta.
Those of you that signed up at PAX, GamesCom, or any other event we have done, have the same chance to get into the beta as those that signed up on our website. Date of registration or number of posts will not have any impact on your chances. We still need to merge the database of all those that signed up at PAX, so expect to see an e-mail to confirm your account in the next day or two. Those of you that registered at GamesCom should have received your e-mail verification already. If you haven’t, please register on the [url="http://beta.firefallthegame.com/accounts/new"]website.
Our initial invite wave will be very small. I will announce on the forums once the first wave of invites has been sent out so that you know when to check your e-mail. After you receive an invite, you will need to follow some additional steps to be included in the beta. More information will be provided to those invited.
This is a very exciting time for all of us at Red 5. While we have been beta testing with our Friends & Family for multiple months now, we are now ready to expand the beta and start getting feedback from all of you. Thank you for being a part of the Firefall community and welcome to the next phase.
