And once again gratz Aametherar for winning (damn i so envy him =P), and thanks Orcslayer and Thomas for voting for me. To bad Orcslayer you didnt get any votes, your suggestion was also good, specially those trees =).
And where it says -entry here-, i think should be some link there?, but it doesnt work =)

First beta is single player only and hardware issues primarily. second beta is the very basics of multiplayer including connectivity issues etc, third beta is MMORTS mode - I'm happy with third, more than happy lol. edit; a little off, but the idea is right.

"Closed Beta Stage 1 - we`ll begin by sending stripped down game client with updater tool and single-player skirmish to the first 50 testers. You`ll get a chance to play around with this for the first two weeks. During this phase we`ll be solving technical problems preventing people from starting the game, and other major crashes.

Closed Beta Stage 2 - will commence 2 weeks later. We`ll invite 50 additional testers, and send out a major update that will feature multiplayer skirmish mode. During stage 2 we`ll be fine tuning connectivity, chat and basics of player vs player gameplay. All 3 multilayer skirmish mods will be available, including team defense of huge capital fortresses."

from the beta questions thread, so yeah, first beta might not be the most fun, but very important that it goes well or the others can't really go on as scheduled. So do a good job Aametherar! Second beta sounds great, but third is the one I wanted to be in by for sure as it's my primary attraction to the game.

Uhm also for the third beta keys, I actually can't be completely sure about that yet - I'll have to confirm with the devs, you might get into 2nd, sorry for the confusion.

PS: Aametherar, remember your first post in this thread? If you held onto that you wouldn't win :P see?

I wouldn't complain about getting into the second for sure!

Isnt it, if you get beta key, the first one for example, that you stay also in all other later betas? Tho it is better to get beta key as soon as possible, isnt it ?=)

I haven't heard of a beta being run any other way so I'd assume so.

Yeah, thats why it's better to get the first beta key.
I can't confirm which beta the other winners will be in, 2nd or 3rd. Just hope for 2nd. I'll try to confirm later today.

I'm more than happy with 3rd personally, MMORTS testing/feedback is what I want to be a part of. Though that capital fortress defense thing sounds like a lot of fun.

You know what I find funny, there were a total of 15 votes in the poll, but in the current poll (How did you like the contest) there's already 9. Which is more than half the important poll. Lol.

Is that good or bad thing ?=P

[LiTos456]

It's a silly thing, beacuse we could have used all those votes for the actual contest. Too bad the poll system was bugged up.

What if those, who voted now, also voted at contest? So it wouldnt make a difference =P.

[LiTos456]

Ok now you're just overexxagarating it. I'm sure there were guests who voted in the current poll.
