Can Closed Beta Get Into Open Beta?

Hey, a friend of mine got into Closed Beta and I'm in Open Beta. Simple question, can someone who's in Closed Beta get into Open Beta? I thought I heard WAR Team saying that everyone goes into Open Beta they just call it that because it's more "Open" I dunno if that's true though... I don't even know if this breaks the NDA...WTH is the NDA? I never read stuff that I don't really need to!

If it is truly an open beta then yes of course as anyone will be able to download and play the open beta. That is the whole meaning to the word OPEN.

No no, Open Beta is different for WAR, people who pre-order get to go into Open Beta, thats why they say 'Open' because you're buying the beta pretty much not putting in a ticket and hoping.
The Open Beta is not truly "Open." It's not available to everyone. From what I've heard and red, everyone who preordered the CE, and everyone in CB will be in the OB, but don't take my word for the CB people getting into OB, I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere though.
Kk, I know I pre-ordered CE and thats how I got into Open Beta, I just need to know if the closed beta peeps are...

In almost every single MMO I have ever beta tested they have offered a guaranteed spot in open beta for preorders and only one did I ever see where you had to have an account to get into beta (like fileplanet or gamespot).
My guess is Mythic/EA is giving away guaranteed open beta slots to preorders. However, I have been burned in so many games by preordering that getting into a beta stage (closed or open) is not enough to make me preorder.

Bah...I KNOW I'm in Open Beta, they give you a key you put it in, done when it comes they give you a client, make your player account done, they dont just magically guess that you pre-ordered and say 'Hey, you pre-ordered WELCOME TO BETA!' No, when you put the key in it knows you pre-ordered, ALL I'm asking is if my friend is in Open Beta since he's in Closed Beta!! ARGH!

And they answered you. Yes your friend in Closed Beta will be in Open Beta. They just change the name of the beta and let more people in. It's not like they keep closed and open seperatwe.
However, that doesn't mean in open beta their will be additional serves in which you might have to choose on of those if the other is too populated. But that generally doesn't happen because thats what they do in open beta. Stress tests and server performance is the main observations.
Alright then, hehe ty....
