Title: You can all beta test EVE online right now
Post by: LAM3O on April 21, 2003, 02:45:07 pm
I got an email, i don't know why because i've already been beta testing EVE, but some of you might like this.

It said If you preorder the game from EB or Gamestop you get a code, and then can download and play the beta. I guess there would be nothing stopping you from canceling your order if you didn't like what you saw in the beta. A good way to try it before you pay $50 + $13 for the first month.

I don't know how to post html emails on these boards, but here's what it looked like:

Its just $50 for the first month... you have to pay $13/month after the first month though.

Quite right. It might turn out to be the best game ever, but I'm not shelling out that ammount of money for it. No chance.

Limit of beta offer one per order. Due to the beta offer, orders placed cannot be cancelled.[/q]

Play it for a year and it's damn near $200, play it for 2 years and you'd have wasted enough money to get a new computer.
