How do you know if you have a beta key?
Do they email you it or do you need to log into your SOE account?

I certainly haven't had an email yet and I played the original PS for years...
Or do you need an active sub to get a priority key?

Previous subscribers are supposed to just get their account activated at/near the beginning of beta, no key needed. Just make sure you're using the same account you were when you subscribed to the original PS. I don't believe you actually need an active subscription, just to have actually paid money for the game at some point on your account. (I don't' believe free/trial time counts, but I could be wrong.) And according to tweets put out, previous subscribers will have top, or near top priority for beta.

Just got a pcgamer beta key, so I suppose I'm joining you guys in a few days.

Just read off from a comment on RockPaperShotgun the hierarchy is apparently:
-Current PS1 subs
-Inactive PS1 subs (IOW used to play but stopped)
-Priority keys (PCGAMER/TWITTER/ETC)
-Regulary beta sign ups


Also just watched the trailer, I thought it was fitting.
Smurfs were all hardcore l33t 360noscope footzerging MARINES HOOHAR!! (though where all the maxes hill camping?), Santa was on the defensive (and loosing), and Barney was finishing off wounded prey and butting in where they weren't wanted (I think I saw my old outfit there)

Eh, you can still get those? I went looking for the appropriate edition of PC Gamer around here and I couldn't find one.

I have another two keys to giveaway
Simply send me a pm with 'Planetside 2' as subject.
Since the last key was gone within a few minutes I'll choose the winners via random.org at Sunday 02:00 pm GMT+2.
This should give everybody a fair chance.

Hooray for m0nster, and thank you!

[Briggsy16]

You're a legend m0nster, where you getting them all from?! Thanks for mine.

I got them via Twitter (@planetside2, @PurrfectStorm, @PS_TRay and @mhigby).
Using TeetDeck it was pretty easy to be one of the first answering trailer questions or retweeting stuff.
Actually I wanted to give them to a few friends but most of them weren't interested.

Is it Bay 12 or Bay12? This is an important decision; we must know what choice you made.
