Time is running out

The deadline to get into Elemental Beta 1 ends October 1st.

But lest you think this is a call to join the beta, let me warn you, the beta is a land of horror and agony.  Even now, most of the beta testers are requiring long-term psychiatric care to continue functioning.

But if you are a true masochist, you can pre-order now and get into the beta as we are putting together the game mechanics and help mold the final game.

You get use to the foaming of the mouth...., torrets, migraines, physical disabilities... and other symptoms... These things are what make you a real man!... can ya take it?

The game isn't so horrible, but everyone should be clear with the fact that you "play" in the beta IN ORDER TO help report bugs. And it seems not everyone is reading how to do it (not everyone is giving the debug.err nor the dxdiag. Not even a screenshot)

That's because:

Or maybe not.

It's mostly because people don't read and follow the stickies labeled 'Read before posting'. 

Btw, it's worth it just to get a look at the intro video.  So awesome.

Id like to know the Beta Count how many people are in the Beta.

There's probably a great deal of variance between those who are able to get in the beta (all preorders I believe, right?), those who have downloaded the beta, those who have downloaded the latest update, and those who actively participate in the 'beta' part of it, namely helping report bugs and issues on the forum.  There's more posts in the beta than any other Elemental specific forum, so I imagine the percentage of beta helpers vs. pre-orderers is relatively high.

Brad, you sly fox... You know I am a sucker for advertising disguised as a warning to stay away!

Alas, my brain... she has died from the beta

Why the beta doesn't look like the intro in 8bit colors?! Nooooo, I want a REFUND! I didn't pay for it - I want an old school!

I needed long term psychiatric care before the beta, so its all part of the normal life for me.

Its down to the wire!    The scramble is on!   Can you, who arn't in the beta, make it on time!?

Hi.  I would like to pre-order and get into the beta, but I am currently out of work and need to know if you are charged now or later when the game is shipped.  If it's is now I guess I will have to wait, but if it is later I would love to join.  It'll give me something to do when i am not looking for a job.  I know today is the last day.  Will there be a chance to get into the other betas ie beta2 etc?

It might be to late to get in, depends if it's the start or end of oct 1. In any event, yes there will be other beta's but I believe I read you'll have to wait till the beggining of next year. Oh and the charge occurs when accepted into the beta I believe.

I guess I was too late. Pre-ordered, charged, but no download on Impulse.
