How long after preorder did you get your beta invite?

I'm asking because I preordered the game 2 days ago and haven't gotten a beta email yet. I hear beta ends Oct. 20th, so I want to get in soon with just 10 days left here.
Comments
it took about three or four days before i got my beta invite
If I pre-order from ebgames.com is there any chance I might not get the beta invite or should I just pre-order from a store. I just want to make sure i get the beta invite if I order online.
Bought preorder on Saturday... got a response Monday evening
did you order online? and if so was it gamestop or ebgames.com
local Gamestop
I preordered the Collectors edition from ebgames.com on Tuesday, and got my beta invite on wednesday... Though I'm not in the beta yet. *sigh* Hope they open it up so I can download it soon... Though with the little amount of time left, I wonder if they will even let anyone else into the beta? Anyone know if they will or if we're just going to have to wait till the end of the month for the game to be released? At least I get all the extras from the pre-order.
The extra from pre-ordering is just a dye kit right?
Founders Offer Subscription Upgrade:
new in-game content,
12 character slots rather than 3,
access to a Diablo II-esque Hardcore mode,
the freedom to bypass server queues,
account-wide storage for 40 items (as opposed to 20 items),
the ability to create guilds and attain officer status,
distinguishing features and subscriber-only equipment,
in-game VIP shuttles, and
24-hour customer support.
The monthly subscription fee is set at $9.99 in the US, €9.99 in Europe and £6.99 in the UK.
Problem is though you have to buy the pre order in some countries from ebay since they haven't released the precopies everywhere yet.
most of the above comes with being a monthly subscriber or "Elite"..
Dye kit, beta access, and founder's pricing are the perks to pre-ordering.
Though i preordered the other day, got a confirmation email the other day, but still no access to beta as of today. Which sucks!
Part of the founder perks is that you have an option to pay a flat rate fee of about $150 for elite status for life. No mothly payment.
This is something I read on Wikipedia so it may not be 100% true. Just a rumor I possablie so if anyone knows for a fact it it is or not please let us know.
Edit: I pre-ordered on the 10th, got my account key on the 11th and am still waiting for my invite as of 3pm on the 12th
Didn't get it. Because EA is the shittiest publisher of all time and royally screwed up with european offers.
Don't forget the Faction's Poster.
hehe I was hoping to get into the beta mainly though. Oh well.
I made the mistake of pre-ordering from Wal-mart over the web, because I preferred that dye kit, and then discovered they aren't sending out the pre-order codes. And they won't let you cancel a web order. I don't mind missing the beta too much, but I hope I'm not missing out on anything else.
You also get a free in game pet ( flufff im guessing) dependant on where you got pre order. This is with the collectors edition only though. Are a few other things that come for around 10 bucks more. A dark horse comic, soundtrack cd.. i dunno what all but it was worth the xtra 10 bucks.
I preordered from ebgames got my code the next day registered it but still 5 days later no invite into the beta for download info.
Seems they havent sent out a batch of invites to the new folks registered in a week.
says accuont still locked. till beta starts(which I know means till you get accepted)
So now on day 6 and still waiting.
There is a message in the FAQ on hellgates main site that adresses the issuse with wal-mart and pre-bata. This problem was suppose to be fixed you should check the fax to find out what exactly you should do. If you cant find it PM and ill try to get you a link to exactly what i read
Yup, same here.. Guess they decided to take a week off from invites. Not happy at all about this.
From what i've seen, it takes around 7 days for them to ship out their invites.
I got into the game yesterday, so it takes about 5 to 7 days from when you pre-order, to when you actually get to play.
I think a batch of invites went out yesterday. I waited 7 days.

Could have been as early as Saturday, and as late as Monday.
