Hah. I've downloaded and installed, but now when I try to patch I get "Update Could Not Be Initialized" due to "Could not establish a valid connection"

EDIT: Apparently just clicking it over and over again works...

Incase you were unaware. Black Bart (lol) is the new EU server for BETA, and the new US/Rest-of-the-World server is Rackham, which is also up.

I, however, am stuck on BlackBeard as a Pirate, but might try a national on Bart.

Sometime this week open beta will be as it says fully open..hold tight your get in soon.

No buying it doesnt get you into beta, just allows you into the game 15days for prerelease

BETA was fully open as of Last Friday (the seventh) - European Pre-Order goes live on the Twelth, which is Wednesday.

BETA testers, so far, haven't been given keys they can give out to friends etc, seeing as there's a free open BETA download link on Fileplanet.

According to someone who's got the pre-release box, they were given 3 Keys in the box:

1. Access to beta

2. Access to the pre-release play time of 2 weeks

3. Access key for when the game goes live

Pre-Boarding Party Key and Landing Party key, then the serial key that comes with the game once it goes live at least thats what my email says.

OK. So the End of BETA is tomorrow (Sunday) and preparation is beginning tonight (Auction Houses getting XP and ships etc stocked cheap). My point, however, is that tomorrow, during the End of BETA event, I want to be flying the Jolly Roger alongside some MxO Brethren.

So if there any of you playing now, and are Pirates, give Drake Blackguard (That's me) a shout, I'm on Blackbeard, and we'll sink some British Dogs together.

Edit: Even if you're not Pirates, give us a shout, and we'll see if we can't organise a big stand-off. SMILEY
