    Don't they keep saying that they're going to be starting Beta in late 2012. That only gives them like 52 days left, right? So sometime in the next 52 days, some of us will be playing this game. Awesome! We should take bets on which day it'll come out. I've got dibs on the evening of December 31st.

    I just hope it is prior to Dec 21st, 2012 so that way I can play CBT before the end of the world!

    Man oh man the Community Mods are so funny here lol seriously you guys/gals rock. Personally I can't wait and would be willing to pay for beta access which I wouldn't be surprised if more and more games don't offer that option. Excellent way to make some money before launch and offers more beta testers :P

    I do believe they said at the end of one of the gameplay vids that beta would be early 2013 with release still being first quarter. It was in the Paris vid where the guy keeps saying "Umm" all the time in like a Russian/Ukrainian accent. Now like I said, don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure it's not till 2013.

    In the interview I saw he said early 2013 and said that meant 1st OR 2nd trimester.

    Well, early 2013 could even go up to before mid 2013 or May 2013. Not saying it is just explaining a broad interpretation. In the dark about the Beta schedule like the rest of you.

    That would no longer be early 2013 truth so it would have changed again what they have said.

    Not at the moment unless they are going to be at another gaming event in the near future.

    I'm thinking in a week or two more people MAY hear more, but I can't nail anything down yet either. I'm trying to see if there will be anything public, but Mod or not, Cryptic's...cryptically quiet response remains the same. As soon as I strang...err get anything publicly confirm-able out of somebody with an official connection, I'll get it here!

    I'm really surprised I have not read more Neverwinter "Never" jokes... "Never-ready" "Never-beta" "Never-coming" "Never-soon-enough" "Never-gonna-play-this-game" etc... There have been a few on the Facebook account, but that's it.

    Los Angees ATM doesn't have winter, it has Bi-Polar weather. The first couiple days of the week are mid nineties then it drops suddenly to about forty five degrees with wind stacked on that. It wouldn't be so bad if the temp didn't suddenly change making us potentialy more susceptable to colds due to this.

    I see this on the homepage when I'm logged in. It takes me to a page to redeem my beta key? Is this new? Please tell me it is and we are getting close to beta...

    Beta coming "soon..." "Soon" has been somewhat defined as sometime in Q1 2013.

    The Access Beta Button is not new. The button has been there for many months.

    -If you aren't logged in with an account the button should state "Sign Up for Beta" and direct you to the Account Creation System.
    -If you haven't entered a Closed Beta Key to the account it will state "Access Beta" and direct you to a page to enter a Beta Key.
    -If you have entered a Beta Key the button will state "Download Beta" and direct you to an error page saying the Beta hasn't been released.

    The Beta hasn't stated and I would speculate we won't see it until December at the earliest. Mind that's coming from me personally and not from the company.
    It could be months away, it could be tomorrow, but I would think we still have a wait to go yet.

    Cool, thanks. I didn't know if I'd seen it before. Was just hoping. I know not to expect beta until I get an email saying it. Guess I'll just continue holding my breath.
