Hey if anyone gets a code they don't need or if they get extras(Alts) could i get one sent to me please? I would really like to get in on the big stress test, but since my account says i'm under 18 they won't send one. If anyone has one they don't need i'd love you forever.

Any thoughts?
I have to agree with Mr. Tighty Pants here. Roleplaying in the beta sounds like a bad idea, mainly because not everyone has the chance to enter. The time is also quite limited and I think that most people would prefer spend that time fooling around with the game systems or just get stuck in the character creation screen.

Just apply for a code from one of the other websites and fake your age. I'm sure there are a few that don't use Facebook to authenticate things.

I concur, lets use our shared Beta time to test our guild functions, learn the mechanics and start writing guides etc.

Apparently, what I thought was just the weekend beta invite was apparently a full beta invite. Woop-de-doo, I get to play the game lots and lots. :lol:

(And yes, I checked, the terms do allow me to say that I am *in* the game program, and that the game program exists. No more, though.)

Somebody mentioned the "don't want to spoil the story" element. I am feeling pretty much the same way, but at the same time I really want to try out the mechanics and see the world.

To resolve the situation I will be rolling an Empire character. Anybody wants to join the dark side for a weekend ? :-)

Agent is tricky. Tried that last beta weekend and almost ended up hooked :) Watch that one !

Watch out with the Agent... I am hooked D:

I will definitely be rolling one of these as an alt when we start, unless of course I can play it enough until then to get sick of it.

(As a side note, that's what I'm doing too. Playing Empire only in the beta. And I am enjoying it alot D: I feel bad.)
