look, all you international folks who think you dont have a chance at the beta: quit your pissing.

Im pretty certain that Mephisto was a member of the previous beta test (maybe even as far back as SE2 and 3), and he's in Germany. The thing is open to everyone.

calm down.

Another point, SE5 is fully intended for international release so it would seem to me that having a variety of 'nationalities' on the beta team will be of great benefit. (how else will aaron know if the game runs properly on a foreign keyboard/system?)

IMHO, everyone has as good a chance as the person next to them.

Cheers!

Could you tell us the chances of getting a beta testing slot?

That's a question that I can't answer for two reasons..

1) It depends on how many people apply to be in the beta. (and since Aaron allready said he's accepting applications til the end of the month, that number is not available yet.)

2) I have no idea how many slots Aaron will be making available. (and no, I'm not going to ask him, he's currently very busy getting the AI ready for beta.)

That said, your chances are better than playing the New York State Lottery.

*Looks next to him* Hmmm...I don't see anyone next to me. So does that mean I have an even better chance of getting in?

I wish I could sign up this time around but I just do not have the time to dedicate to a betatest. I would only be able to spend less than 5 hours a week to testing so that is not worth it in my opinion.

Beta testing is fun if you know what you're doing. If you don't know how to be desriptive relating to problems, you'd be surprised how quickly it can devolve into a mess.

Puke I am "international" (I live in the Netherlands) and I'm not panicking. I just sent in my beta form, done. Air mail, anyone?

And again, how many slots are there for the beta test?

Ah crap! Another Dutchman. Het wordt steeds voller met die lui. Het is net als op vakantie, je komt OVERAL wel een Hollander tegen, het is bijna een plaag...
I'm not feeling any special anymore. There was a time there were only two of us, now we are with many. Slowely taking over this joint.

You've got a long way to go before you catch up to the Canadians!
