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?
Once you use your invitation beta key, you get access to 3.0. It sounds like you already did that. You still have to manually log in to 3.0, using your G account and password. If the site isn't letting you do this, then it is a problem.
By the way, is there currently anyway to view other profiles on AG 3.0 or is this still being worked on?
As was said in the memo you got, this will be in the future release.
So it doesn't come immediately? Because I've waited an hour for the next email. And I do believe I was one of the very first ones to sign up, so itf it was according to time, I should already have it.
If you get an e-mail that says "Your invitation is here!" or something to that effect from AG, than look further down on that page for the code. Also guys remember that if you signed up after 9 AM pacific time, then you're not receiving a code, just the newsletter.
Also guys remember that if you signed up after 9 AM pacific time, then you're not receiving a code, just the newsletter. Wait. WHAT. On which day?! It just says claymore on mine. This doesn't make sense because RIGHT whenever the site opened, I signed up. So What is the problem?
