Where were you able to sign up for the Coldstone beta? I was under the understanding that to find out when the beta was, a person should keep checking the "Upcoming" page every day and on that page when a beta would be offered, there would be a link to a page to sign up that would remain for a few days. Right now, under Coldstone's current Beta Status, it say, "in development, beta will open soon," but the beta is already closed! I am wholely confused. Could someone PLEASE enlighten me as to how I might become a beta tester (without asking of course, if you get my drift) for some upcoming game or utility. Thank you very much for your time!

I think this is how it works. First, Ambrosia starts to develop the product. This is "in development; no ETA on beta", such as EV Nova. Then they get close to a working product and put, "in development; beta will open soon", such as Coldstone. When beta testing is open, the
page will say, "This version is in public beta -- if you're interested in participating in the public beta test, please read the release info.", such as Hera/Ares. Then, "closed, in beta" such as pop-pop; finally, the product will be released for your gaming pleasure. According to this, Coldstone will be open for beta testing soon. Hope this clears things up for you!

Actually, I don't think Coldstone will go into a public beta. Beta Testers were already selected. Read the topic "beta".

Beta testers were "hand-chosen" for this. There was no sign up.

I posted this elsewhere on coldstone, I'll put it again here:

your old sig was way cooler, and we know it.

What happened? Lost interest in Zelda? I know that is impossible since I have liked it for a long time.

No, that was my 1st sig, and this is my 5th. I still like Zelda, I just like variety though.

nwa728:
What topic "beta"? Where?

skyblade:
So that explains it. Phoenix155/Alexis Lojek, that should solve it completely.
skyblade, do you know if Ragnarok will be beta tested publicly? I really want to test the PC version, and this seems like a very good way to get the bugs out.
Actually, no need to publicize it, somebody just give me a beta version!(heh heh)

Wow, that was fast. OK, fine with me. Do you have Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask?
(We should probably go start a topic in Just Chat on this if we want to discuss it further, I think I'll go do that now...tralalalala...)
