Premium beta testers!
Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:53 am
If you noticed the news today, it said about they giving spots in premium for beta testers. Well, I probably got too late and didnt get it. I want to know if anyone here got in, and I have a couple of questions.
1. I was directed to the premium page, but it didnt explain anything, does it mean it was a first come, first serve, or they will log everyone who was redirected to the page from the news, and then choose randomly?
2. If thats the case, would they take their time to choose the accounts to become testers??

Usuallyl the only way to get a premium account is by a referral anyone want one 
. What they are saying is right now they are having an limited time open enrollment. Which no one will get the referral bonus as it is opened for New members.
Do you already have a premium account??? They are not running a game right now a new one will be comming soon. They come in every so often.

I thought they were open for anyone (Im not premium), if they were only for premium wouldnt it have been easier to email those memebers...
Also I thought premium members always tested things before they are released.

It's like open enrollment.
But you are right we do bata test but there is not always a game available and sometimes they have to or 2 games going at a time for us to bata test.
If you would like a referral id be glad to refer you.

well, I was looking forward to this in the hopes of it being for the free members, because I cannot join premium at the moment.

It's not free.
From my understanding, they're just opening up spaces, as normally you can't register for premium without a referral. You still have to sign up as you normally would.

There is a mothly fee 7.99 a month or a yearly rate at a lower cost. If you are referred then you get a free 15 day trial. Then you wil have a monthly fee if you decide to keep it.

The way I understood it, it's just a regular 15 day trial without needing an invite from an existing premium member.

they might be keeping the free trial for the open enrollment permotion.

*nods* The open beta spots simply means that they have/had open spots for the 15 day free trial. If I remember correctly, you still need to provide paypal information or a credit card number so that if you don't cancel by the end of the 15 days, you're charged (at least, that was the way it worked for me). Anyway, looks like they're all full again anyway.

Very soon premium wont be a very special thing to have because most people will have it 
I had it for awhile but it was a bit expensive for me.

I think the beta open or closed page is kind of hit or miss. My roomie was on the site about an hour or so ago, read the news, then told me she clicked the link just to see what it said (she knows I have premium, but didn't really know that much about it).
When she went the first time, she got the full page. I told her to try it again, and voila! there was the sign up page. So, I told her to just fill in all her info (name/password), and to let me know when she was done. I've been trying to figure out how I was going to get her premium for her birthday without referring her so this was perfect!
I did call the support number and asked about my name being in her info on the user admin page - since I'm paying for hers and mine I didn't want TNT thinking there was any funny business. They said that it was fine to have my name there since I'm the one responsible for paying for it.
So, to end my babble (I'm so excited for her!), if you want to try premium and get the beta full page, just keep trying.

Sort of on topic...I've been using premium for awhile now, but am considering stopping the service. The fee is not bad, but too often portal/ssw is insanely slow or simply non-responsive. I don't mind the free site being slow, but the pay portions really shouldn't be.
