Mmm… BEEEETA.

I had a small deluge of PMs, emails and frantic IMs waiting for me this morning, so let me just say a few things:

• Yes, it’s true. We let some more folks into the WAR Beta.
• Yes, these were people who won contests, attended certain shows, etc.
• No, these were not all of the people who won contests, attended certain shows, etc.
• No, this is NOT the Guild Beta.
  • Yes, the Guild Beta is coming.
• No, I won’t be offering any information on when or how the next round of invites will go out.
  • Seriously. Even if I knew, I couldn’t say.
• No, we won’t be specifying what metrics were used to choose people for this round (or any round).
  • No, it’s NOT a vast conspiracy aimed at confusing or punishing you.
• Yes, you SHOULD keep an eye on your email SPAM folder (just in case).

Finally, if you got an email about updating your DXDiag information and ARE NOT ALREADY IN THE BETA, disregard it. Some wires got crossed and those went out to a few people accidentally.

Please also note: If you were one of those people it doesn’t mean you’re more or less likely to get in. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with your PC and thus we won’t ever choose you. It doesn’t mean something is special about your PC and thus we’re more likely to choose you. It doesn’t mean we’ve chosen you and your invite is on the way (it doesn’t mean it isn’t either).

I’m sure there are other ways to misinterpret the mistaken emails that I can’t think of at the moment. Rest assured that those misinterpretations are also wrong.

Anywho, to the New Testers – welcome! You’re in for more than a few surprises. To everyone else, hang in there – your time will come.
