Would saying yes to this question violate the NDA?

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!

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

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).

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.

Default Legally Binding Answer

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.

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

I love that disclaimer.

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