How many people will be lucky to play this game on aug10th??

Hopefully soon increase the number of invitations as soon as they fix some problems they have.
I have the certainty that will surprise, although competition is strong in this sector, I personally really like the atmosphere, and feelings of fear and intrigue.
hope that will translate into spanish

Id suggest that the first few days will technicaly be a small Stress Test. If they invite 100 people a day, 300 people by 3rd day will have or have been trying to login.

As 300 aint a small number it is a large enough enough to do a small stress test of the login server and inital systems.

If all goes well they'd proberly increase it slightly, Closed betas are normally limited to around 4-8k players depending on size of game and servers.

Im new, and my 1st this is, but I doubt Ill be in beta even tho I want to) plus its only about a 100 at first, I'm sure there are other people that deserve to beta this)

I wonder how many accounts there in comparison to the number of regular forum members. We'll all get in at some point I suppose, be that closed beta or open beta.

It’s quiet down here... :)
I think that all forum members will have their chance. Some of accounts are fake, some are abandoned.
The main question is how long beta testers will stay in POE, and how many of them
will help to find bug's ect... I mean there is some group of people that will want only play without thinking about any improvements.

That is the problem with all betas. Half of the people will play just a couple hours. The good thing is that they can just invite more people since the inactive players won't be there stressing their servers.

I'm definitely not that kind of person, you can expect meticulous findings and constructive suggestions if you invite me to beta...

Beta testing is crucial to the success of the game.If there are people playing the beta just to try the game,the only thing that they will be doing is being in the way.

Exactly. I been in few betas and lot of people wanted to be in just to be in the first wave or try the game then discard it.

This is not the goal of a beta. Beta are made to find bugs, rush every single thing possible to find those nasty problems.

Yes, I agree 100% with you. I been in a few betas as well and made the same experience.
