I'm here, ready to do some stuff.
Well, actually can't start today, should be able to tomorrow though.
Though my badge is currently lost in the post so I can't show my allegiance just yet.
Did your badge not come through yet? Make sure you check your badges...could just be hanging out at the bottom.
Well as I only have three badges I think it would be tricky for it to hide at the bottom. ; )
But yeah I doubled checked anyway, not there I'm afraid.
Try now please :)
Huzzah! Thank you for that!

Having never played planetside I don't know what I'm missing out on here. I didn't get selected but that isn't necessarily the end of it all. I might just give the game a go regardless as it always intrigued me (though when it launched I was off in warmer, sandier parts of the world were there was no internet).

I would probably randomly pick again, but from those that would like to be on the list...say from this forum thread. :)
I'd looooove to be put on that list.

Oh well, I guess I didn't get in, for now. Should someone break one of the guidelines you set forth how would you go about picking a replacement?

I realize "say from this forum thread" is probably a mistake but I'm having a hard time deciphering it. Are you saying if we want to be in say so here? if so then I call dibs on the first slot opened up by an idiot.
Yes, if you would like to be in the mix for a botched roll by someone with a key, please say so here.
Pick me! Pick me!

Hmm...
Since this is random drawing I think I shall let the game continue downloading and go play some Gears of War.

Maybe something good will be waiting when i get back, who knows.
Good idea!

Just to clarify... if we got the badge does that mean we got in? I don't think I got an email but I did get a badge... I'm confused

Bah! I was all ready and hyped for fighting for what is true! Good luck guys. Kick some ass and show everyone not to mess with Escapists!

EDIT: Oh and sign me up as a sub! Should you need me, I'll be on the bench.

=) add me to the list of those still interested plz

on that note I remeber reading about a 14 day free trial was this a roumor or is the soe website hiding it from me?

still congratz to those who won ...do us proud ....

Edit: Ok answerd my own question so i may aswell talk anyone else thru it:

So step 1: get the launcher
step 2: create a station account
step 3: get the 14 day free trial
step 4: avoid the planetside website as much as possible ^^
step 5: wait for some one to tell us what server the escapest is on =)
ok
step 3: "get the 14 day free trial" is a bit rubish so i'll just go again ...

step 3 a: click the planetside option
step 3 b: select 14 day free trial
step 3 c: run though the 'accpet' doc
step 3 d: click on the planet side button again and download (its the bottom option for me)

Remember.... If you do not get a key and use the free trial you will NOT count towards the escapest's score! you'll only be able to play allong side...

To clarify, the keys were sent out by email. If you have a badge, and don't see the email containing the key, your provider's spam filters probably mistook it for missile launch codes and diverted the message to Antarctica.

Just in case they're dragging their feet on delivery, give it an hour or two, then if it's not there contact either Spinwhiz or me by PM, and we'll try to PM your code to you as soon as we can.

Still no badge. And probability says that my chances are getting slimmer by the minute.

I'm not enjoying this, I'm not enjoying this at all.
Same......wait I got a new email!....Mortgage deals.... :(

Another reserve signing up...

I'll be hanging out on Gemini with you guys anyway on a trial account... I'll probably end up adding a month of game time for the event if the Random Button hates me again should someone get hit with the ban hammer.

Will get on mumble too if that's cool :)

I signed up for the Station Beta thingy and still can't find where on the site they are offering a free trial for PS. You wouldn't happen to have a link to that would you?

Fire up the station. You can activate a trial account for any of the games it shows via that. Just click the one you want and it's pretty easy from there.
