Other Beta participants - Information to be revealed
PAX / GenCon / Keys from game conventions and events.
Community Beta key giveaways through Facebook and Twitter.
Promotional Beta keys on partner sites.
And more!
I have a question too.
Will these key get in for any close beta or are they useless now? For if launch is said to be early 2013, and those who paid will get extra days before open beta, and beta weekend 3 is on March 22 - how can you have any close beta before open beta after that?

"Early 2013" could mean 06/30/2013. Doesn't say 1st quarter 2013.

I'm okay with the "buy to beta" model, especially since there are a lot of non-purchasable ways to get in too. But the guardian and founders packs are giving a huge influx of cash, which they can't otherwise secure with "lifetime subscriptions". City of Heroes didn't need the initial influx (apparently, since lifetime subs were never offered), but I know it can be very helpful to a new MMO to have a rush of capital right before launch.
It also helps that in any F2P model, the game company is going to look for people who are willing to spend money. Yeah they're putting the game out there for free hoping that a lot of people will buy a lot of little things, but they also want to appeal to the people who are willing to drop a lot of money at once. I guess it's a balancing act, and I don't know if I could necessarily get it right myself.
Uhm . . . does no one read the main post, FAQs and other 50,000 postings and resources all over the site and forum regarding the server times and dates? Even the first post of this thread has your answers.
you don't have to buy to beta, my wife has access to all 3 betas and she hasnt paid a thing, there are beta key giveaways offered all the time. there was one advertised on the Neverwinter facebook page, I don't know if that is still going but it was a couple of days ago

Obvious answer is obvious, but apparently not obvious enough, so let me help you out. People do not want to look things up not matter quick and easy it is, they want other people to do things for them. So simple answer, .... No, they cannot.
Darkstorn is correct. Lots of people these days even duplicate multiple posts, even that single post alrdy excist. I know this well on a another forum of coding, that you can find there. But the search button for them doesnt really excist.

I got into Beta week end #2 by simply having registered on the forums. I had not yet purchased the founders pack. After trying out the game however I was encouraged enough to buy it. SO it really is not "Buy to Beta", its the luck of the draw. Also the fact that they guaranty beta access on the beta week ends if you purchase is a plus.
SO you can only play Neverwinter on these weekends? cause I downloaded this game jesterday, and alwys get an error at the launcher? pease reply ASAP
Correct. As indicated in the original post (and elsewhere), the Beta weekends listed are/were the only times when you will be able to play - the final Beta weekend being next week, 22nd-24th March.

says you have access to Beta weekend 3 then yes. If it only says beta weekend 2, then I dont think you can. But you can always log in and try against fate!

I have a "EU_Fansites_Social" beta-key. So will i be able to play at bw3 or not?
Ok quick questions. if i download the game but not buy the beta "key" when the game is "Released" too the public like STO and CO would i just need too wait till its released in order too play it? is it free too play like those games and just have a store too buy from when i so feel like paying for something like apperance items and so on? Free like GW2 and EQ2 and STO and so on and no restrictions like you can only level up too 10 and not the max level and would be able too do every quest givin too you and not just the newbie land ones.
Haveing full access in a game like this would be nice even if its "Free" even though you can pay for items in the in-game store. since it is a cryptic game im just guessing its a free open game like all the other games im playing. im really patient towards things like this so if it takes 5 months in order for it too be free so be it..although it would be nice right from the get go.

Something is fishy there.
