Hey everyone, quick update on what's happening next Monday, November 22, 2010. All times are Pacific Standard Time, which is where Los Angeles, California is.

At 9am, I'll be marking all beta registrations to receive their invite codes later in the day. Any beta registrations that come in after 9am will have to wait for our week 3 release on December 6th.

We'll be rolling out some changes to the live beta site and verifying that the code works as intended and doing lots of internal testing.

In the afternoon, when we feel the code base is tested enough, we'll send a newsletter to all users who registered for the beta, even after the 9am cutoff. This newsletter will explain more about what we've been working on, what's in the new release, that sort of thing.

Once that newsletter is sent, I'll work on getting invite codes sent out to everyone who registered before 9am that day, and those users can begin helping with what we'll be calling our "open beta." The Email you'll receive with your invite code will explain what we need from you as beta testers.

It's important to note up front that several things will seem "missing" from the site, such as the forums, leaving comments, rating the games, that sort of thing. Some user profile settings may be available, but as we've already explained, changes you make on beta may get overwritten if you change your AG2 profile later.

The full details of what's going in the beta release, and what major pieces of the site are still missing will be detailed in the newsletter.

Other than questions of "what's in the release" or "what's missing from the release", are there any questions about the process or what will be happening next Monday?

Oh, Well then that still doesn't explain WHY I haven't gotten an email. Maybe it is some cruel punishment from corymn. I don't think the fellow likes me very much, but that's okay.

Errr...okay, I think we get the point that a couple users aren't getting an invitation key. Keep in mind that the team doesn't manually send out the invites--they are in bulk emails. Like Ian said, if you do not get your invite by the next day, then email him.

So I get to wait until the next day, in which I won't be here at all depending on the family situation turn out, and if it goes wrong, then I won't be here until NEXT week.
This sucks that I waited and waited and waited, and jumped at the first sight of the new site, and I waited again, knowing that I would be one of the firsts to be on it, just for it to not happen.
Stupid Karma....

New AGv3 Beta Release: Claymore

is that the newsletter?


This is the letter that tells you what Open Beta's all about and tells you how to do the job of a beta tester.

The invitation E-mail will say:

Your Invitation to Armor Games v3 Beta is Here!


Followed by your Email address and the beta key right under.

As was said literally 7 minutes ago, the emails come in bulks. They are not manually sent by the team. It can be possible yours wasn't sent. But that is nothing to accost the team over.

So this means I should email him now or wait until later?
