News: Beta Signups Begin

Its broke =\

Broke for me too - definitely not the email address thing as I've tried hotmail, my ISP provided email and the email address I setup with my website.

Awesome!! I'm signed up!!

/me waits!! :)

I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
I know I want you, I want you

The server is really getting pounded. We've had over 1,000 registrants in about an hour. Be patient if you're getting errors, there's no reason to think that those who sign up early will get preference.

Have the beta signups been advertised on any other major sites yet Menzo? 1k seems pretty impressive if it's just come from TW and people browsing the T:V page.

Should we get some sort of confirmation email that we registered?

Or those to excited to signup having done so from slow work computers?

One of the HL2 people (producer I think?) posted the signup page on the SA forums.

1st 20 pages

Maybe you should include the link in that thread. :)No need. We've already got 1000 submissions. Of those, fully 30% decided not to include their mailing address, thus precluding our sending them anything like say... a beta CD. Not that you'd do such a thing ;)

Natural Selection is a grand thing.

LOL, it probably all TW folk.

EDIT: It seems the funky email error issue is Fixed!. You guys move fast!

wOoooooooooo

Would it have anything to do with the fact that the registration page said it wasn't manditory?

Wouldn't it be multiple beta CDs?

Natural selection doesn't work unless there is a chance to fail.

Anyways, for those who forgot to write in a mailing address, I imagine there will be an open beta in the future; they can participate then.

depends how big the beta is. could be a map or two or the whole game.

I've seen a couple people say that you can't use free e-mail addresses...I used a hotmail..and everything worked correctly..it said 'we will contact you shortly'..do I need to register again, using my charter account?

*edit* And can multiple people register from the same household? :)

Will there be an NDA to sign and stuff? Won't the people who get into the tribal wars beta thing have to sign one? I noticed that the sign up didn't even ask for you age, so is this like a pre-selection sort of thing?
