World of Warcraft EU Closed Beta. Betas just have some special feeling - mostly because those are new games, but also because you got selected and are already hyped about the game. It was fun, really fun.
I'd have to say SWG because I got in pretty early and everyone I talked to online was jealous. Sucks though I got tired of the game before it even launched.
Anarchy Online. The game was SO bugged and the servers kept spitting me out, but I kept coming back for more. I never played the game post-release for more than a week or two, but the beta was magic.The game looked good and there were no elves in it I kept meeting people who were really devoted to making the game better. Taking time to write bug reports and reviews, who does THAT nowadays? It´s all about trying it out for free now, although the reason for that could be all these crappy releases, with AO right there on top...
Hm...probably Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst for the awesome community, but Auto Assault for the gameplay and the excitement of being in a closed beta.

Ya WoW closed beta and open beta were the funnest for me. As a priest, me and this druid logged on everyday at the same time and we did everything together. I remember running Gnomer with a 38 Rogue tanking. It was before the classess were forced to do "their role" fun fun times

Seriously though.....I beta tested a ton of games and I don't think I liked a single one.
It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.
