Beta Code in Massive Magazine

Hey All,

If you can find Massive Magazine they have a code in it that allows you to Beta Test Gods and Heroes when the Devs are ready.  The mag is a good read even without the beta code. :)  Here is the Mag's Web site:

http://www.massive-magazine.com/

I found my copy at Barnes and Noble so it should be "around".

    It looks like the mag is brand new so there should only be one issue out.  It has a red banner on the top that mentions the Gods and Heroes VIP Beta code.

    Hello, welcome to the Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising forums.

    Please read this message for the latest information on any news regarding Beta.

    - At this point there is no public Beta, nor have we announced a date for the Public Beta
    - A few sites have been given Beta codes as prizes for a phase of Beta to be announced later
    - Massive Magazine (Street Date August 23) has a Beta code in each issue which will get you priority access. That does not mean you will actually be guaranteed access to the beta, but you are more likely to be selected with one of these codes than with any other way.
    - Having an account (Create HERE ) on this site will also give you a chance at being selected.
    - FilePlanet will be offering Beta Codes once we get to the later phases of Beta.
    - No, we have not announced any dates for the Beta.

    I hope this helps answer some of your questions concerning the Beta for Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising . If your question is not answered here, please, ask in the forums!

    Sandmanjw nailed it. I bought the magazine and registered my account with Perpetual and I also read the site noting it is NOT guaranteed access, but more priority. Honestly, the magazine is worth the buy even if you were not offered a beta key. It has a lot of good insight and tells a decent amount about upcoming mmo's that you would otherwise have to spend a long time looking at forums and FAQs to inform yourself. But going back to the VIP beta key, I am sure they will honor it seeing as it probably sold MASSIVE a ton of magazines and created some great hype for G&H. On the bright side, Fileplanet will be giving out keys and maybe mmorpg.com will run a contest, so there will be plenty of ways to get into the beta!

    They just picked core testers recently, and I believe other than internal testers/alpha testers there is no one else being allowed to play atm.  The priority beta key in the mag is not guaranteed access and is for a later portion of beta.

  • jokerdhelljokerdhell Member Posts: 52

    but there is a difference between alpha and closed.

     

    and this sire, under news, says it's under closed testing.

     

    and I kow thats a VIP key, but why did it say I can play through 10/18/2007? o.O

    I'm not sure what your referring to here, I just stated that atm as far as they have stated only the core testers, internal testers, and anyone who was in the alpha stages is going to be playing atm.
    and this sire, under news, says it's under closed testing.
    Yup.
    and I kow thats a VIP key, but why did it say I can play through 10/18/2007? o.O
    I would assume that is just a date placed in the system for access to beta that represents the latest expected release date of the game, but at this time the VIP code will not grant you access to the game, hence why the client is not readily available for public download.

    If you really have to know the answers to your questions I suggest you just email P.E. or post a message on their forums (if it hasn't already been addressed).  I was just trying to let you know that the VIP code is not going to allow you into the beta atm, nor are you going to be able to dl the client (unless you are a core tester, previous tester, or possibly associated with one who gives you access to).

    The date on the Massive Beta keys basically tells the Perpetual database that you have registered. It just gives them a date far in the future so they can access your name & registration information at a future date when more closed and open testers are let in.

    Maybe they are anticipating that the beta test will last for a year and a couple days? I dunno :)

    The testers started a few months ago actually.

    The game still has to be stress tested ;)

    Last wave of testers have been notified last week. However I dont know if we will have stress testers. We might
    just release a lot more beta spots over time image

    So really, im not telling you anything!! :P

    Did anybody buy the digital version of the magazine?

    How is it obtained the code?

  • baclimonbaclimon Member Posts: 34
    The digital version does not come with the beta code from what I hear. I just ordered it online and recieved it in the mail. It does take some following up.

    I just went to the website and couldnt find any beta code to get better chances for the beta...it just says beta closed?
  • MoongloMoonglo Member Posts: 101
    If I remember correctly, Massive put an expiration date on signing up.  Looks like you will have to wait for another promo. I'm sure there will be many.

    Hmm, tried our Barnes and Noble, no luck.

    But, thats Kansas, it sucks.

  • FuturiasFuturias Member Posts: 27
    Was the release date pushed back?  I think I remember reading it was pushed back once to around the end of this year but now I thought someone mentioned 1st quarter of 2007(can't find where I read that). 
  • MoongloMoonglo Member Posts: 101
    It is still releasing in Feb or March as far as anyone knows.  If you've played PC games for any length of time you just patiently wait until the game goes gold.  Thats the only reliable way to know when a game is coming out.

    I am hoping it's worth the wait. The game has alot of potential and dev's seem to have their stuff together.

    I also heard February or March 2007 but I can't remember where.
  • happilpiehappilpie Member Posts: 50

    Feb/march gives me plenty of time to Play Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess on WII and to own some folks on Star Trek Legacy if I dont get into beta.

    If their community communication stays like it is on their website upto and  after release this game will dominate all others......They should start classes for other companies and teach them  how PR and Devs should work with a community.  I can think of one that could use a lot of that extra training....*coughs* SoE.
