ummm, I'm not entirely clear that this is in anyway RTW specific. i couldn't see anything beyond someone on .com saying 'My mate is a beta tester'.
Ah great.
Actually I would have been much better off not knowing about it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif
To those lucky enough to be from the New World, I can only say:
Do your jobs damn well I want a perfect game when it is released. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flat.gif
Well, IMO this isn't actually for RTW. That bloke states how his mate is testing RTW, yet Activision QA the game, they have no input in development testing. Thats ALL down to CA. Or it is if CA are like any other company Blizzard hold betas, but remember - Blizzard are the developer, not the publisher like Activision are.
I would quite definatly take it with a pinch of salt. And besides that, theres no guarentee you'd get to play RTW even if it was real - Note thats for activision as a company who publish dozens of games a year
I signed up. I doubt I'll even get a reply as my computer is not all that great, and I didn't even lie. And I made sure that they knew my expertise was in the Total War series http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif so I doubt they'll contact me for anything else. Oh well, doesn't hurt to sign up and see what happens.

[OT] It is cool that they have a European WoW beta now, unlike for WC3...
lahll is right, if you sign up and get chosen, you may get to test some expansion to CoD http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

WHY GOD? WHY AM I NOT 18??
Now seriously, I am not familiar with the .com, but is the guy who posted this a respected member, who would not lie about something like this?
If not, I am inclined to doubt it is true.
However, if anybody here gets in, let us know, so we know it isn't a joke.

if anyone here got in they'd have to sign a NDA anyhow, so they couldn't tell us. Which is what leads me to be dubious of the veracity of this in the first place...

grr im not 18 till may
What is up with that 500 character limit? Is that limit supposed to be for all of your answers total, or for each answer? I tried doing less than 500 characters each (including spaces), but it still wasn’t happy. How can they possibly expect me to answer all those questions in a total of less than 500 characters? Can anyone who has signed-up successfully clear this up?
I signed up. I got the same problem the first time I tried. I just shortened my answers (and never counted them). I cut and pasted the long answers to a text file on my computer just in case it happened again. That way, I wouldn't have to type it all over again.

I hear your pain Rising..though in my case it's not age but rather nationality that's the problem.

Can you answer the question about the guy whp posted this at the .com? Is he a respected member, or somebody who just signed uop, and that is like his third post?
Know what can happen if you play test? You can get tired of a game before it's even finished I have a friend whose son playtests professionally. He thought it was cool at first but now he hates it.
When playing becomes work, games can get spoiled.
GODDAMNIT I OWN A 3 YEAR OLD NOTEBOOK im 18 too :(
