Bear in mind, there should be two stages to the beta. The earlier stage will be very small, and if anything like what I participated in before, will be fairly raw and require a time commitment for playtesting in order to get full servers. If you work 9-5, this can be a problem. You might expect to be on unfinished maps.

My guess is, the BIG beta will mostly be load testing and tweaks and bug-squashing.

The testing will probably work something like this:

First my core external test team will have first crack at it (I will probably recruit some new people for this)

Then the extended RO test team will be given access.

Then we will beef it up with 20k keys.

Thanks for the clarification. If you don't mind answering some beta details:

How many people do you hope to have in the middle beta, dozens or hundreds? Will that require fixed playtesting times again?

Are you guys planning on treating the 20k beta as sort of a demo too, where all 10 maps won't be available, to keep them hungry for more?

Was Ramm misinformed when he mentioned the beta applications are on the TWI website, or am I just blind (as evidenced by my sniper skillz), or both?

The application will be on the website like it was in the past. It is not currently up.

I am not sure how much we will make available to the larger 20k beta.

I believe the current middle phase has 500 people who signed up previously so hopefully they all return :) And we will probably have set time where we would like people to show up for specific testing.

What about people who weren't on Ostfront's test team, but still want to help with playtesting? Can they be given access (for middle beta)?

I'm not even sure if I was in the Ostfront beta... I think I was, but I don't remember anything about it.

By "Middle Phase" you mean the Krivoi Rog test group, right? If so, I'm definitely returning for this.
