It's been a while since beta sign-ups opened late last year, but All Points Bulletin is finally moving into closed beta, it would seem. Several people are receiving emails welcoming them into Realtime Worlds' persistent online world that's a cross between GTA and the ultimate set of customization tools for characters, cars and music seen, well, probably ever.
Between video podcasts, interviews here on Massively and plenty of wishful thinking, it's been a considerably long wait. Our best guess is that the initial wave of invites is a fairly low number, as it usually is, so don't feel too distraught if you weren't invited. These things have a way of expanding over time, after all.

Grats to those who got the emails. I'm not among the lucky ones, but I'm hoping I'll receive a key for the later stages of the beta :D

Closed beta has been going on since last year.
They stopped over the Christmas period but this is not the "start" of closed beta like the article suggests.

Yup, it's definitely not the "initial wave" of invites.

Closed beta started in October 2009. You need to get your information from better sources, Massively.

The article they pulled as their source was mine (from grungegamer.com), and I think something got lost in translation. I never said it was the first roll out of beta keys, I just said that I got my beta invite.

Same :) lucky us. I sure hope this doesn't mean I can't get my hands on a SWTOR key sometime in the future...
