The quiz itself is pretty old. But the fact that it enters you for a chance at beta testing is new. Previously, taking the quiz only allowed you to choose a society and gave you a pretty lame media kit.

Actually, the fact that I had taken the quiz when Massively first announced it and then got an email from Funcom last week inviting me to take the quiz to register for beta has left me wondering if I don't have to take the quiz again in order to be registered for beta. Probably not, but they were unclear on that count.

Funcom sent out an email with updates to this little quiz with news you can get into the beta. The very day this was posted.

So actually Massively isn't reporting old news, they're on top of it. You all just missed that Funcom email and are so far out of the loop on it, that you can only plug your ears and shout "OLD!" when in fact it's not.
