Beta keys

[JoK3R_Her3]

Will TWI/3rd party websites give away RO2 beta keys?

Or it will be strict to clans/DE pre-orders?

I just got RO2 pre-order as a gift,but it's the normal edition,and i can't upgrade to deluxe edition,but i want that beta key REALLY bad.

I think it's only for the de pre-order

 

[Ossius]

Will likely be through steam.

I would guess some popular websites gets some keys too share.

As far as I know the beta phases have not changed.

1. Family and friends beta.
2. Closed beta with selected clans & players.
3. Big Semi closed beta

The last beta is where the people who bought the De Version get "early" access. TW will also give out keys to people to other people too. I can only speculate but I expect they hand out keys to big online magazines and communitys like IGN etc.

OK,what the hell is the family and friends beta?

And people who got in the clan beta will they get adittional keys for other clan members?Cause from my clan we have 4 people in the clan beta,and a lot of us want to get in too.

The "family and friends" beta is pretty self-explanatory, I feel. It's an earlier beta phase for friends and family members of Tripwire employees.

Yep, the final beta will be only for DDE preorders. I saw a Tripwire post on it in one of the threads.

We aren't friends of TWI. It's all so sad, really.

I think some keys might be distributed as part of the ad campaign, having contests to share them around people that do not have preordered the game, to get the excitement up.

Negative. Tripwire has said several times that the DE version os NOT the only way to get into the beta.

Pre-Ordering the Digital Deluxe Edition is the only way to get into the larger scale beta. We've decided against a public beta mainly due to time constraints and not having the bandwidth to ramp up to a massive amount of servers in the short amount of time before release. We will do a free weekend some time soon after the release for those that want to try before they buy.

[Krazyxazn]

We'll find out in a week or two.

digital deluxe only get access to the larger closed beta, in a few weeks.
thats the whole point of the DDE existing.

TWI should really have the option to upgrade account, esp with this delay.

You mean from normal to deluxe edition?
Well you can cancel your preorder and then buy the deluxe edition.

 

[hanky]

Yeah, but would be so much easier to have, Upgrade to DDE for 10 more dollars.

That's what i'd like to know too...

 

[Krimdor]

But... that's what you do? You ask steam support for a refund (which they'll most likely do) and then you have your money back and just buy the DDE and you'll be fine.
