If you've been wondering how to sign up for APB Reloaded's upcoming closed beta, you'll want to check out GamersFirst CEO Bjorn Book-Larsson's latest blog post. For now, the process is pretty straight-forward, and basically entails registering with your preferred email address and creating a GamersFirst account.

As the beta date draws nearer (currently the devs are eyeballing the first week in February), you'll receive an email asking for your DxDiag and personal info. Book-Larsson says that after the data has been verified, you'll receive a beta key. He also mentions that approximately 20,000 people have registered thus far, and GamersFirst expects to make use of 6,000 to 8,000 closed beta testers (with 800 online during peak hours).

Finally, Book-Larsson hints at a unique beta tester reward as well as the fact that no pre-existing characters or accounts from the Realtime Worlds version of APB will be carried over to the beta. Hit up the official APB Reloaded blog for all of the details.

But, players from the RTW era will be able to retrieve their characters, names, gear, and customizations once the game goes fully live.

@angrymatt Are you sure? I'm now confused, because the article says the exact opposite. Unless I'm misreading somewhere.

@angrymatt Ok, so the article was slightly misleading. The article (here on massively) means that you cannot retrieve anything during the beta phase. But you're right, when the game goes live, they seem to intend to let RTW APB players reclaim their stuff.
