You have to be subscribed to the newsletter from the official website. Whether players are selected at random, age, birth place, or the first people signing up to the newsletter is completely out of me!

That's exactly the answer. We don't know how or why or what the system for choosing beta testers is, so we can only hope.

Yup, I'm sure they will be constantly letting a few of us in every now and again. And hey, there's always open beta. But I reckon these closed beta invites will be weekly!

I hate how they announced this to few people and expect everyone else to wait while these 'few' people are 'worthy' to play. They should have had all the keys prepared though.

I'm sure when they are ready to release beta to more people, they will do that. They need to treat the game very gently at the moment. There are a lot of things they need to work out on and can probably only do so much with x amount of players logged in. Remember, VMK had it's closed beta period as well too before they opened beta to everybody. Think about all the bugs that VMK had back then...

Nope, it's closed beta, meaning invite only for the most part.

An open beta would basically be opening the game. I imagine within the next week, however, that they will give keys out to everyone who signed up for the e-mails to let them get a sneak into the game before the general public does.
