EQII Beta
 

Anyone received their official EQII Beta invites yet?

Would saying yes to this question violate the NDA?

Yes, it would.

Its been asked and the answer was no it would not break the NDA saying your in beta. However you may get thousands of questions after you say your in. So you may not want to tell any one.

Just search the beta soe forums and you will find the answer too.

I know that Beta has started, and saw on the SOE forums where people have posted thier amaze at having gotten thier invite emails.

Sooo agreeing with Dolby.. saying "yes" does not break the NDA.

Saying anything past that would most definately be a breach.

So dont ask question ROFL!

Kinda one of those "If i told you Id have to kill you" kinda things then eh?

the above quote is located here.

Thanks for that link, there is some conflicting information (cant say any more) and I'll bring that up to some one at SOE.

/me zips mouth, throws key in a ditch.

Any assumption of events based on above material will be erronious and very very foolish. Plus, no one usually ever listens to me anyways.

Hahah, i liked that disclaimer so much, I had to add it to my signature !!!

i liked it.

hehehe

I'm rather shocked stating that you're in Beta is against the NDA. Maybe cause it's not *quite* out in public closed beta (ie; SOE officially stating they are inviting folks that pre-registered?). Not sure. I'm always skeptic when SOE has to place such tight NDA on things. The word I hear on the streets is that EQII doesn't have that much special going for it. Many things I herd are on par with what CoH and WoW is doing (although it's still constantly changing).

Maybe some century I'll get into this beta and I can have fun tearing it apart. I love tearing apart games (I tear up their website all the time--btw, the EQII resign is an example of website redesign gone bad). :p

yep disclaimer rocks hehe very funy :)

It was addressed on the SoE forums by SoE employees and it is ok to tell people your in beta without violating the NDA, but that is all you can say.

EverQuest II Beta Official NDA Excerpt

2.1 Confidential Information Defined. “Confidential Information” shall mean (a) any and all information relating to or contained in the Beta Software, Beta Program and/or the Game, including, without limitation...


Personally I'd say the knowledge of who is or is not Beta, is "relating to" the Beta Program.

Regardless of what anyone says in the Beta forums, they do not have the authority to amend the agreement.

Let’s just say if you’re in beta you know if you can or can not say if you’re in it as it has been discussed many times now and the same answer has been given by the staff each time.


;)

I guess then it isn't against any NDA to say I was NOT choosen for EQ 2 Beta? <Looks over at the useless box of Lords of Everquest and sighs> HA HA HA! :)

well i have been told that if you bought LOE and registered in the time frame you *will* get in at some point. but that they never said when.

sooo don't give up yet.

PS. we have permission from SOE to announce the winners of the beta slots here. So those people can say they are in beta.. hehe

Ya, thats a good one! I'd use it too, but since you got it I'll leave you as the Disclaimer person :) Oh ya, and :p for finding it first

O ya, if your in beta, I'd say just keep that one to yourself for now anyway...or else have a ton of people you don't know standing outside your door all a sudden, or peakin thru your window. Hmmmm, that's almost kinda scarry.

spaming your email

sending you PMs

Sending you AIMs

Buying you hookers.. er.. uh... scratch that..

hehehe

LoL thats a very funny disclaimer hehe. :D

Well, just leave the beer next to the door and I might (if accepted) let ya take a look or even touch the keyboard & mouse. Hmmmm, dunno bout that buying the errr ummm, you know... I mean, that would be a distraction from playing....so that idea goes out the window.

I love that disclaimer.

So what your saying is that the competition winners can say they are in Beta but other invitees can not?

hehe no, i was just saying that we specifically asked about announcing winners.

so far I have not heard anyone getting in trouble for just saying "yep i am in beta"
