On November 8th, 2010, the following will happen:

1. Our closed beta process will begin in the morning
Our closed beta users have already been chosen. Chances are excellent that if you haven't already heard from us by now on an official basis, you won't be in the closed beta. The closed beta group will help with some core testing, which may be as boring as following a list of instructions or a list of things to test for functionality. Their testing will last as long as it takes to get some basic portions of the site working 100% perfectly. Only then will we start the open beta.

2. Our open beta sign-up page will go live sometime between 10am and 6pm
The public beta sign-up page will be at http://beta.armorgames.com/. On that page, you'll only need to enter your Email address. I highly recommend you use the same Email address as your AG2 account, so we can synchronize your account settings easier, and it won't make sense to register multiple Email accounts because beta testers who do not reply to their invite codes will get dropped from the beta. We will not manually add anyone to the list. If you want in, you have to add yourself. I expect it will be some time in the morning, United States Pacific (California) time, but we might need longer to get everything synchronized.

3. We will send out messages on Twitter letting people know that AG3 Beta is starting
I highly recommend you follow these Twitter accounts for updates:
- @armorgames - this is the official Armor Games twitter feed where we announce new games being released, but we'll also announce on here when the beta sign-up page is live. I don't know how much else we'll say on this Twitter account about the beta.
- @cormyn - this is my personal Twitter account (well, one of them), where I will be posting information about the beta process once we get started. I expect to be pretty verbose about what we're working on, things that are working, etc.

We'll probably tell our closed beta users not to say too much publicly about AG3 until someone from AG says it first.

We don't expect the closed beta to go on very long before we start inviting people who signed up after the 8th.

Everyone is obsessed with AG. You are too, we are all.

what will happen to Colony and Exit Path?


They'll still be playable. Your logins on the beta site will be the same as your login on this AG2 site. We synchronize all of your data from AG2 to AG3.

Will AG2 disappear from our view but stay in your guys for refrences to stats and stuff?

We'll probably keep a full backup of the site, yes. But it won't be accessible to other users.

I've been very sick for two weeks. I have a life. It's just involves pain and vomit right now.

We haven't decided yet what we'll do about forums in AG3 yet.


But, they will exist in some form correct? Even if the AG2 forums are used?

Lets hope the forums aren't wiped out, I like this community, it's the main reason I come to this site

Same. And I like how it's simple to use. Good layout.

I would like to have brand new forums. So that way most of the old contests wont have like 300 pages. And you don't have to go through the endless pages of the threads lol.

Kyouzou, I'm hoping that we'll keep the forum posts. Just a matter of the forum ENGINE we end up using.

Oh I know, I just want the option of the forum available. We definitely need to start fresh.

Launch is imminent. Please fasten your seatbelts and return your tray tables to their upright and locked positions.

Since I need to update firewall rules before I can post here, some of you will see the beta page before we can officially post, but "whatevs"...
