Everyone sign up, with some luck, at least one of us will be selected.

The process is random, and they said they will only take one entry per person...which probably means per IP. I know they plan on picking people randomly, but making sure to get a good mix of systems and locations. So basically what they'll do is group all the people by location, and again by system. So the P2 300's from California will be grouped, as will the P3 500's from California, and pick a number from those subgroups.

At least, that's my understanding of how it will all work. I could very well be wrong. Beta will have all 5 character classes, but will only contain Act 1 of the game. (As it probably should be.)

As always, the point of the beta test is to hunt down bugs and test game balance. I think I can say that we'll see the game sometime in May, possibly even late April...though agian, I could be wrong.
