  Got mine tonight at 9:05pm est. See you in NW!!
  
  I planned on sharing the experience with my Twitch followers and anyone who doesn't have time for, or didn't get into beta. I'll post more info Thursday.
  
  Edit: This is the format of the beta email, if you need to search your spam filters for key words:

  I do not have one.... Even checked the spam folder.
  
  Will more be sent out over the rest of the day, or have all the invites been sent besides the social media promotions?

  Is there any restriction for Twitching gameplay? I planned on sharing the experience with my followers.

  I just had this confirmed: There is no NDA for the XBOX One Beta. Twitch away! Just keep in mind, this is all EARLY testing. So, don't go into it expecting everything to remain as it is.

  Understood. I was just gonna do Q&A for fans asking questions over chat. 'what's the menu like?' 'How do you cast, move, etc' ...anything to help build interest and excitement for the game on X1.

  Nay, not yet! That's all good though, as I am not able to get an X1 in time anyway. So, if I do get one, I'll be giving it away on the forums as soon as I do.

  No, not yet. As the sticky and article say: Once you've completed either series of steps, you should be able to access the Neverwinter Beta once it becomes available.

  I just got word that if you've redeemed your key successfully, as detailed in the linked article or thread, it should now be available for early download on your XBOX One.

  Good to know, people with slower internet will need that extra time.
  
  Can someone in the beta please tell me how many GB the download is, as well as how big a patch there is, if there is one?

  Where did you redeem your code at? You're using an XBOX One and not a 360, correct?

  Did you then log into the same Gamertag on your XBOX One console that you were logged into on the xbox website when you redeemed the code?

  If it's like any code I've ever redeemed on XB1, the download will show up the next time you sign into your XBL account on XB1, it'll automatically start without notice. Check "My Apps & Games" and you should see it there as "installing".

  Yup. As soon as I entered my beta code, my X1 started queuing and downloading Neverwinter Beta. It will automatically queue it and download if you have it set to turn on with voice. Basically have auto updates on so your xbox one sleeps and never really fully turns off.
  
  Or just turn it on and start the download. Check your games section and look at the queue. Then leave your xbox one while it downloads.
