Well, you have to remember that it's a beta, and a closed one at that, so most of the finished content is probably in internal beta and many features are not yet programmed/implemented.
I won one of the 500 beta slots on this site, tried to register but it keeps saying my CC is invalid and it won't accept my debit card. So if someone was wanting to win that compo they lost out.
Really i havent read all the posts, i read most of them, just not the last couple, and the registration IS HORRIBLE, however not due to the cc. its due to the fact that the website was crap, and to accept it you had to be checking your email every 5 seconds.
they screwed up bad there, lets hope the game isnt the same.
My rant about beta except this lame thing with CC is the way they approach the tester. I tried to register 4 times (using Firefox and IE) and always I was getting an error at the end of the proccess. The page advised me to print screen and sent the image to techical support which I found very strange. Is very strange to get error in web browsers, the admins to be aware of it and to build a special page to submit your error. And since no techinal support has contact me yet I suppose it is a method to test your level of participate as a beta tester. Uber lame.
Wow, it appears the registration for many people is rather difficult. I myself thought it was a problem on my side when I couldnt figure out how to make an account, because it would always send me back to the main site. Never the less I did manage to make my account, but they have problems accepting Canadian Credit Cards, so I'm told I can not register until January, when the problem is supposed to be fixed. I found their tech support to be very quick and helpful, except for the fact that they did not have a solution to my problem, not yet atleast. But even registration is part of this beta process, and I'm sure all our feedback is going to help people in the future when registering for this game. And I do very much disagree with needing a credit card, because we could all be playing if it wasn't for that small detail(unless of course there are other problems, which is to be expected). Anyway! This doesn't make me think any less of MxO, just fustrates me.
Originally posted by Draculaine I received the email myself and I do have a crdit card. But no other game I have beta tested has needed a credit card number. So, they might as well redraw for my spot too. No game should need a credit card to play a beta. Yea, we may be able to play the game, but last time I looked we were helping them out and not the other way around. They have other ways of checking the billing system instead of asking the people to add their credit cards to the process. And they they did say on there that they were going to charge like 10 cents to hold some spot or something. So, I guess no Matrix Online for me. Have fun guys.

I'm in the same situation. No other beta I've been in required a credit card. Even though I won I think I'm going to pass on this. I was looking forward to seeing what Matrix Online was about as well now that finals were over. Guess not.
Really? I got in without one I have tested many a game and never come across this. I mean People do not like giving CC #s out to just anybody. Very odd and ANNOYING!
I was actually selected for the beta throught the matrix channels not this contest on this site and the same thing happend to me I put in my visa number ( which is in my opinion a stupid thing to have for this early stage beta) and it said my Visa was not a valid card so I guess I dont get to see what this game is all about either.
