Non-US people can get a key from he fileplanet site by using a US-proxy like one from the codeen network: 128.112.139.80 port: 3128. Tho the proxy wont let you go to the last page, just disable the proxy to get past the last link and get your key.
You only needed to be registered to fileplanet get access to a key, you dont have to be a paying member! Paying members just get the download of the file faster, but as i gather the file can be downloaded from other locations too.
Oh ya? You might want to read the fine print buddy.
You can download the client sure, but have to subscribe to get a key.
If you look under the green marking it also says "Subscribing dose not guarantee participation" Man this is just one big screw job lol
It looks like after a week it will be a free open beta.
That and it's not going to do a damn thing to their sales. WoW did the same thing. It's just good, sound business for both FP and MMO publishers. MMO devs get a hot and FP gets more subs.
>.> The page to register your beta keys has a page missing error. I don't think thier registration servers will have the bandwidth to sign-up "Wow-killing" numbers.
20 gb???? Holy Hell Batman....that means after the 6.something gb download file there is another 13.something gb of updating to do, screw that beta no thanks, heh.

17.057.00mb after installed , but sertenly not complaining, need to get use at some elements of the game, it really looks better then i thought (seen the video's and didn't really liked them) but playing it for real makes a difference, crowded places are abit laggy when entering a building with many people inside but other then that the game runs really smooth, i think the character creation is awesome the real mmorpg crowed will be very pleased, beginning quest are abit easy but still fun to do i really like the beta system they have setup in game that when completing a quest you need to fill in a form and some feedback right on the spot, for me this was my first experiance in a well thought out beta setup to that, gameplay feels familiar so far nothing that made me go ...ermmm..WOW? surrounding are very rich and detailed not overdone like i think EQ2 is.
Overall i have good experiance with the game..now lets see what's ahead
took me a while to dl it (I have been in beta for abit) but can't play because its so choppy! I have a decent system not top of the line but not bargian either and I can't play it I play(ed) EQ2 easily on my system and this game can't even play.
Oh well
it seems fun for 2 min till I get tired of the choppiness

You are right i think you need a high end system to play the game decent, i hear mostly people debatting ingame about what card or system they are running and allot of complains about lag, like i said i experiance some lag when entering a busy crowded building but nothing different then i exp. in other games aswel sometimes. Wel lets see what vangaurd will bring me today
This game performas horribly bad and I have a mid range system. I can play alot of games with little or no problems like BF 2142 and Oblibvion. Only way I can play this game is to turn down all the effects. What good is that ? With all of it turned down it looks like EQ all over again. Theres no way im goin to spend another $300 - $1000 to play a game. The game has alot of promise but the performance of the game is way bad. For a majority out there this game with be unplayable. I cant see release being any better really.
For those of you that have been wondering what the beta is like, here is a brief summary based on my experience:
Note: unless you have 2.6+ ghz cpu, 1+ gb ram and geforce 6000+ graphics, don't waste your time as it won't be playable.
1) 6.5 GB download (plan on letting it run overnight).
2) unpacks to 17+ BG after install (should have 30 gb free for temp files).
3) about 100 mb of patching (up to an hour)
4) unless you have a high-end graphics card, turn down all the graphic settings.
5) nice downloadable user manual (read it so you won't get lost).
6) good selection of races and classes to choose from.
7) decent character appearance selection, but I've seen better.
8) typical UI and controls (WASD movement).
9) variety of different starting areas based on race.
10) nice progression of starter quests (like WoW).
11) advances are skill based but with level restrictions.
12) 2 harvesting skills can be chosen per character.
13) only 1 crafting skill per character, but lots of depth.
14) unique diplomacy system that affect other area of play.
15) lots of lag when the servers are loaded.
16) spawn rates don't scale with high player density (mob camping).
17) frequent server crashes (at least every hour so)
18) periodic client crash to desktop.
19) frequent game patches (daily or better).
20) it can be hard to find things (lots of yells of 'where is ...')
Summary: This is a vary large and resource demanding game which looks very nice graphicly if you have a powerful card. There is lots of things to appeal to different play styles, but still needs balancing. The game is NOT ready to be released soon, but should be a great game once its debugged and polished.
According to the Vanguard website, this is NOT the Open Beta. They call Beta 5 (still closed, just added FP subcribers). Full-on Open Beta is expected to be soon.
I preordered myself and am still waiting for my open beta key...
Aber das spiel hat einfach eine riesen welt mit genialer grafik das muss man einfach sagen. Wer gerne Everquest 2 spielt/e ist hier genau richtig da vom spielerischen aufbau her es sehr ähnlich ist. Die Beta ist top
Hi all, Would someone please be kind to a little european and get a subscription for me ?

LoL , it sucks to be euro . I can only hope for Age of Conan to be europe only beta for 1-2 month before they let rest of the word to test it
Lol it doesn't suck to be EURO, all you people had to do is sign-up for the beta the day it was released for the US and fileplanet gave me a excuse memo and a key to participate in the US beta , so it can only suck if you are bad informed as i see most of you EURO people seem to be.

hehe i had the same mail i think "Unfortunately, between the pre-promotion of the program and its launch this evening, we had to restrict access to U.S./Canadian residents only. However, since you signed up before the restriction, we're going to set aside some keys and make sure you get one." Two hours after recieving this mail i got the key
