So?

I mean, really, what's the point, aside from "Hey guys I got this, and you didn't."?

I rushed to check my email and I didn't get it.

I'm sad/disappointed.

Thanks for letting us know to look out for it though. :S

Wow vitriol already? The point is they are finally moving ahead with this, which means other things should start progressing.

Looking back, I'm actually kinda glad I didn't get in - my personal feelings to make PvE challenging again would never be implemented (get rid of PvE-only skills and splits) and I really don't feel like being the bug tester for updates that they should be able to realize are retarded before people start playing around with them (half-activation dagger attacks on lower recharges?).

Oh well. Maybe I'm just getting bitter lately.

I just confirmed with Martin that it is not an NDA violation to state you received an invite to the Test Krewe.

I wouldn't have posted the notification if I had thought it could be an NDA violation. Obviously, the NDA material would be the actual testing and changes going on in their test server.

But nice looking out......to get me removed from the Krewe......or something......

Someone else posted as if it were an NDA violation thus I was posting that it weas not. If it were a violation then I would have deleted you post and sent you a PM.

This was also a question back during Alpha testing, which is why I asked about it right away.

Congrats on breaking the contract before you even get to test. you now know that they are going to want you to delete your character and remove yourself from guru right? NDA means the general populace shouldnt know that your testing. you compermized your position as a tester which means you could get offered by other companies to spy and sell secrets(much like willy wonka) and you'll be striped of being a tester with possible criminal charges(NDA discloses this aswell).

maybe im wrong, but congrats anyways if im not, dont wanna sound sour :P

I'm confused by this. Is it saying that you simply need to reply via e-mail, or that you need to sign the agreement, scan it, and e-mail that back?

Well, that's what I did. I printed, scanned and emailed it back. And I assume they want the signed copy sent via snail mail too, which I'll do later.

you have to sign it, save it and send it back
or print it, sign it, scan it and send it back

then you will also need to print out the agreement and mail it to them.(not email it snail mail aka old fash way.)

I spoke to somebody else who i knew got in and he just said to type it all in, send it back, then send the printed version later, figured he'd spoken to somebody already.
Guess if not i can print it and scan etc

When I hear the words "sign it", I immediately think "signature", which I interpret to be my name written in cursive. Are you saying that I could just as easily type out my name on the document and send it back?

Please print it, sign it, scan it and send back the scan

I like to point out that we can revoke invitations as quick as we can hand them out.

Telling half truths in public is not helpful...

If any invitees have specific or detailed questions about the instructions in the email, please contact me or Martin directly.

We will probably be able to help you understand what is required better than the public.
