FFXI: Who's in on the beta?
I just got an email yesterday notifying me that I've been chosen for the beta and that it will begin in June. Here is the full message
Quote:
Greetings and Congratulations!
This letter is to notify you that you've been chosen as a confirmed Beta
Tester to test PlayOnline(TM), FINAL FANTASY(R)XI and Tetra Master(TM) on
the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system. The Public Beta Test will
begin in June. A Beta Test kit including the Internal Hard Disk Drive (40GB)
(for PlayStation(R)2) will be mailed to the address you've provided in the
coming weeks with detailed instructions.
Important - Beta Testers
The HDD shipped for use in the public beta test for PlayOnline, FINAL
FANTASY XI and Tetra Master is only compatible for use with the PlayOnline,
FINAL FANTASY XI and Tetra Master beta test software. Use or attempted use
with any other software or use outside of the beta test may harm or
interfere with the operation of your PlayStation(R)2 system or other
devices.
Upon conclusion of the Beta Test, Sony Computer Entertainment America
requires you to return the beta test HDD in the original beta kit box using
the return-shipping label enclosed in your kit.
Once Sony Computer Entertainment America receives the beta test HDD unit and
in appreciation for your participation in the Beta Test, SCEA will send you
a new consumer HDD unit, free of charge.
Please reference the Beta Test Handbook for details (inside your Beta Test
Kit). If you have any questions, please reply to this email address and
include your full name in your letter.
Thank you for your continued interest and support of PlayOnline.
See you online,
PlayOnline Information Center Team

Did anyone else get in on this? I think it would be really cool if we had a HTF group that we could quest with.

You get a free HDD afterwards? That's cool.

Registration closed a week or two ago for playstation game advisory panel members. I believe the registration for everyone else ended a few months ago.

I've been it in since PS2 went live... and not been happy.
It's leveling tredmill is nothing new, and not enough people on the server to make it remotely interesting. And the XP loss on Death is KILLER!
I'll end up with a free HDD out of the deal, but I doubt I'll play the game when it goes live.
It's cute, and very FFish, but not as good IMO as the single player ones.
