You can give it to anyone really, just let us download it from your account, there is no restriction, its an open beta, or so I heard.

 

It might be against the EULA to give to anyone other than the owner of the account.  It is supposed to be limited to friends/family/self to talk about, as most betas are.  Personally i wouldn't really risk it since they can perma close your account for any violation.

 

It is still closed beta (invite only, private boards), they are just expanding the clients available to the beta.

The only concerning part is:
" In keeping with the aim and spirit of the Trials, you must:

1. keep the contents of the Trials confidential as between you and us and not discuss them with anyone beyond your close friends and family and other Trialists."

 

But they are sending out multiple codes to each person as well and have yet to clarify if we can give out the second code.  Personally I am not risking it, but you could give it a shot and share.

 

Edit: EULA Section 1b "...The trial software must not be copied, transmitted, given or sold to anyone, nor reversed engineered or used to create any derivative work."

Posted my impressions.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

How do ya get in? I downloaded that Home Theme a long time ago and I still didn't get anything, do I have to buy Quore?

OT: Must be nice!

I didn't ever buy Qore. I am a Gamer Advisory Panel member, so that may have helped. It might have just been random.

My roomate got into the beta last night :) It's pretty neat in there ^^ I SO curious about the game rooms though :D I MUST KNOW!!!!

But like mentioned, they were only streaming a video of Socom over and over :P And the Badass part about that, is my roommate started talking to people around him, about how they're only streaming a video... of socom :P He just busted out into chat with random people, and that friggin rocks.

My roommate was in the mall, and he passed by a group of like 6 guys standing around chatting, then some chick walks up and say "Hi guys! I'm a so-cal girl!" And man... wtf... the guys like surrounded her and began a session of hardcore flirting -_-;; poor female gamers :D

The characters seem to have a tad bit of collision detection :D So my friend would walk up to groups of people talking and just move them around, well at least until they started bitching at him LOL

All in all, from the little I saw of it, it's friggin awesome ^^ and should it get a community going, I see nothing but a great future :) It's quite functional and entertaining :D



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
