Now did each one of those people they sent an invite to get *another* invite to send to someone else?

I don't think so.

 

[strem]

I'd love to check out this game. I finally cancelled wow and need so new heroin

 

[SneakyStephan]

Came here to look for info or anything interesting, instead 4 pages of making a stupid list.

Why is this catching on on gaf, why is it even allowed?

Well the whole beta does give you the option to invite people because its working like google+

Having a list makes perfect sense in this case as its not really key begging, its doing what the beta is pretty much wants us to do.

 

[dirtyjfosho]

I'm in, can someone toss me a invite when they can!

 

[Thorndyke]

Keen for this if there are other invites.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Addeth me if you please and I will bestow upon a fellow a code if and when I get the call.

This, I promise you.

 

[firen]

Add me as well please!

 

[scoot3r]

put me on the list please!

 

[Ashwardo]

Please add me to the list, thanks.

 

[Grindjaw]

Please add me to the list too, thank you in advance!

 

[childplease]

Sign me up.

 

[pillarofdawn]

put me on the list gaf

 

[mandiller]

GAF-list me

 

[Artadius]

Just thought I'd check in as the guy on top of the current list that I'm still awaiting someone either here on GAF or through the developer themselves to send me an invite. Soon as that happens and I get an invite myself, I'll obviously be ready to pass down the list.

 

[Atrophis]

Sign me up please!

 

[Corto]

Put me on the A-List and I will pass the good karma to other fellow GAFfers!

 

[rukland]

Sign me up please

 

[Togglesworlh]

This could have been an interesting thread about the value of word of mouth and the feeling of exclusivity.

Guess not :[

My thoughts exactly. ):

 

[Hato-kun]

If anyone could send an invite my way, I'd be eternally grateful with mouth.

 

[wwm0nkey]

next wave of invites are going out over the next 2 weeks.

 

[inky]

If anyone could send an invite my way, I'd be eternally grateful with mouth.

They've only sent out like 500 keys, and they say most will be "handpicked" from very active users on their forums. I don't think anyone here is likely to see one anytime soon.

*Rushes off to email inbox*

No invite for Orayn.

So, they are running a referral system to get a Penny Arcade related pet (?) for the game, so you can now go and pester your friends:

http://beta.firefallthegame.com/crystitechallenge

Game is still in F&F beta phase I think.

 

[dLMN8R]

Alright, keep your eyes on your e-mail! A new wave of invites finally just went out:

I've been in since way back. I'm pretty sure I can say that.
I'd make a new thread btw.

Also it's a real beta, not one of those free MP 'betas'.

Well, add me to that invite list then.

[Hazaro]

How many invites did they give current testers?

I believe it is 3,000 sent out plus 1 extra invite per current tester (I think they let in 1,000-3,000 initially), but there are really only currently 300 or so active people.
It's a good group though.

Hopefully i will get an invite this time

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Is this available on OS X too? Or PC only for now/forever?

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

Please add me to the list. The blur cinematic had me wondering about this game, then i saw the gameplay trailer and it looked really awesome. I'd like to join ya guys.

 

[Hazaro]

Is anyone else in?
Be nice playing with a gaffer on mumble.

 

[bistromathics]

hrm, i got contacted by a headhunter a little while ago about joining Red 5 studios but never responded

 

[Orayn]

Full launch by New Years, right? I'm really looking forward to trying this one. Between FireFall, Planetside 2, World of Warplanes, Tribes Ascend, MechWarrior Online, Super Monday Night Combat, Smite, and perhaps CS:GO and/or Dota 2, the F2P future is looking very bright.

Nope.
They posted on another forum that they expect to simply expand the beta with invites leading into next year (probably until Feb/March) then open 'beta' it to everyone.

http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36034&page=4

We'll stop wiping chars soon after we get the open world into the Beta testers hands, very early next year, but it all depends. We strive to find the fun first.

We won't have a traditional launch, we'll just keep releasing more keys. Store should be online in Feb or so.

This will get buried under beta begging, but oh well.

Red5 posted a blurb on the 20th so there is more for people to talk about who are not under NDA.
http://www.firefallthegame.com/community/threads/beta-update-12-20-2011.14846/

____
Hello everyone. It's been a while since the last update, so I wanted to take a few moments and give you all a heads up on where we're at with beta and where we're going. As a reminder, beta participants are still under NDA. If you have any questions regarding beta, they should be sent to me or FadedPez, not to other participants.

Current Status

As I've mentioned before, Firefall is currently holding beta tests twice a week in order to facilitate getting players into the servers at the same time and to make sure we have staff on hand to watch everything as the test progresses.

The last few tests have been great. Our server stability has gone up tremendously, the number of users affected by inability to connect has gone down, and our matchmaking processes are putting people into matches consistently. There are still a number of bugs that we are tracking down and working to resolve, as with any real beta, but we are definitely feeling confident about where we are at currently.

All current tests are testing out PvP matches. The reason for this is two-fold. It allows us to test specific features (core combat, matchmaking, server-side code, etc), and the open-world is not yet ready for testing. Because of this, testing required that people stare at a loading screen while waiting for matches. This presented problems in that we couldn't identify where issues with matchmaking were, and people thought it was extremely boring.

Since that was not the way the game was meant to work, last week we added a temporary open-world zone (very small) that players can connect to, change out equipment, test out battleframes, and queue for matches.

This has been a big hit. It took a lot of effort to put in place, but we are glad it was able to get in as a temporary stop-gap while we continue to make open-world ready for beta testing.

The Future

We have reached the point in beta where the data we are getting for the server-side infrastructure is limited by the players we have. As such, we are going to be rolling out smaller waves of invites more frequently.

We are still going to be utilizing a combination of invites from current testers and invites directly from Red 5. There is no set schedule for the release of these invites, and I probably won't be announcing each wave, but we are sending out many more invites over the next month into January and February.

The Red 5 Studios offices are going to be closed over the holidays, but the beta tests are still being held.

As of today, I've given more invites out to current testers and I will be sending out invites myself to additional testers throughout the day.

Have a great holiday, be safe. Thank you for reading and being a part of this community.

Not sure if people are still interested in this game, but I just noticed I got 2 beta invites.

Edit: GONE.
