Just a note, people who aren't subscribed cannot vote in this poll, nor write a message.
The few who post who are inactive atm, are still subscribed... that's dedication

I hardly remember anything from my beta days, except I was in TTF (Tryker Task Force - or close to that) with a bunch of other EU people. I have no recall if this was open or closed, but since I joined so shortly before release I voted Open. Pity I don't have my beta account anymore though, I'd love to get my Elder of Atys title

I joined no more than a month before release, too. I believe you had to be in OB1 or before for the title, however.

The title and emote of Elder of Atys came from Focus Beta. This was a sort of payment I believe for doing dedicated and repeated testing on various features ingame.
I was in TTF too

I miss the option "joined 3 days after Release with preorder-package, which I got because Amazon didn't have any other packages"
so... I voted "longer than a year"
*waves*

Focus Beta, that was the one... remember when we all made Trykers, were ported to Pyr and sent out to test how OO was to hunt in? Man, those were the days...

both open betas, then a delay of a couple of months until I could get a copy of the game shipped from America to Australia
