I shamefully applied even if I am very new here and really should have known about NS2 sooner! It would be a honor to help you finish this awesome game. Keep up the awesome work, guys!

Submitted, many of the old schooler's will probably remember me and having had the privilege of testing NS1 will surely help me (was invited by the ever-angry Grrendel) ;p
Out of interest, when will answers be sent out? I know that mostly these kind of things do not send out rejections, but a time frame for when to expect something (or assume that you werent selected), would be nice.
idk if its allready to late but i guess i applied too and i allready told well i played like ######load of hours ns1 and playing a lot of ns2 latley im having basicly fun trying all possiblitys. you never know what happens.
i would be glad if im allowed to help you guys with it.

There was a delay in sending out the emails for EUPT applicants as I was at GamesCom.
All EUPT successful applications have now been sent out for this current round of recruiting. Please feel free to apply as when we do another round of recruiting we will be looking at this database for new applicants first.

Obraxis and myself have decided to leave the applications open. That way we can pull from a pool of players if we need to bolster the numbers again. If you haven't received an email from me - don't fret! I have gathered all the numbers that I need for right now as NAPT still had a pretty full roster to begin with. Obraxis has brought on quite a large number of players himself this week as well.
<sup>Just an FYI: We keep all applications on file. If you submit a second one the duplicate will be deleted/ignored.</sup>
Make sure you don't confuse PST/EST, etc with PDT/EDT (standard or daylight savings time) if you live in NA. I'm not sure how other naming conventions are -- I've read that some Europeans and Australians labeled it slightly different. Just a little tip if you are really worried about your availability, I guess.
From a quick wiki: <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The name of local time typically changes when DST is observed.

In Australia it is also called EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
with the game launching in 10 days, I doubt they need internal playtesters anymore.

and to quote SabaHell from August 27<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> It's true that playtesting will be on a somewhat slower schedule after release with the builds (or patches in v1.0+ :P) going out at a slower rate. You can't slap those builds out each 2 weeks to test some stuff in a released game, like were so used to for the beta. However playtesting and community input will still continue, it's just that the patches need to be much more polished when introduced.
Allow the beta client to be available after release like what dota2 test and RO2 beta has, its where there the devs have a separate game to test those builds without breaking the main game

Were the NA group already chosen?
