Hmmmm.....
As far as I can see, the only way to get the Beta from Fileplanet is to sign-up for a paid account...:(
Or is there a free option somewhere that my old eyes do not see?

It is quite an nice beta btw. Game looks good and plays well. Only thing I missed was the lack of East-India/Indonesia and perhaps South America as well.
 
Question: Would it be legal for someone who already has the Beta to make it available for others - Distributing it through a site or a server others could access?
Or would that be a violation of copyrights / agreements with Fileplanet?

I start work again the day after EIC comes out, so I would luv to have some time with it before it is back to the old treadmill...

Thats definately going to be illegal.

It would breach copyright.
It would breach the NDA of the person making it available to others
(and as NDAs are a contract then this is potentially where you could end up in the most trouble because any local quirks in the law won't help you.)
It is called piracy.
 
I kinda figured....A bit sad that only those who can afford to pay will have a chance to look at the Beta...:(
I guess I, and other poor people with me, won't get to see the game until it comes out - My copy is preordered, and I can not see paying almost the same amount beforehand to have a peek at the Beta.

Now, how about that demo....:rolleyes:

I would not spread false information about a closed beta's NDA...

There is a fairly long general NDA that you agree to when filling out Fileplanet's form for the beta.
This would be an open beta. The closed beta is ended.

For people unable to login, be patient and keep trying, it will be an issue with Paradox's server.
