VaporTrail said:I rarely give my mailing address out, especially if it's not required. I don't want to recieve the snail mail equivilent of spam (not saying that's what would happen, but it's habit now). I'm not sure, but I think making beta CD's packaging them (even simply), labling them, mailing them off (even if the person receiving pays shipping), would come out to much less than the bandwidth costs for a secure download. Especially for an OPEN beta.
Guess what? This is for a CLOSED beta. No snail mail = no closed beta. You can join the rest of the public when they're invited later this Summer.
