WAR guild beta.
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 10:10 am
Got an email yesterday confirming that we have gotten into guild beta.
Greetings!
The time has come to prepare your guild for WAR! Below you will find a list of codes and instructions for you and your members. Guild Beta will begin in July so please ensure that you and your members enter your codes as soon as possible so they are invited in the first wave.
Rules:
As a reminder you, as guild leader, are responsible for the actions of your members while participating in the beta test and are expected to help us enforce the rules and requirements of Beta. If it is found that any non-isolated violation of the Beta Testing Agreement (including the Non Disclosure Agreement) was committed by you or your members, the guild as a whole will face removal from the Closed Beta Program.
In the event that we are required to investigate a member of your guild we expect your full cooperation. Any interference with our investigations may also result in your guild’s expulsion from the Closed Beta Program.
Guilds are expected to be community leaders in Beta and should always strive to follow the rules and requests of the development team. We appreciate your participation, feedback, and cooperation in game and on the forums.
Please note that currently, the only acceptable means of communication concerning the beta test is via in-game chat or on the Closed Beta Forums. Any communication about the beta outside of the above stated mediums, including coordinating in-game guild activities, is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to private forums on your guild site as well as the use of Ventrilo and other voice communication software. A forum is provided to all guilds for recruitment and organizational purposes, you are welcome to create a thread there for your guild.
If ever you feel that a member may present a risk or should no longer participate in the Closed Beta Program you are required to contact us with their information and a description of the problem.
In the event that any codes or accounts are found to have been sold or traded that are associated with your guild, your participation in the Closed Beta Program will be terminated immediately.
Instructions:
We have provided codes for you to distribute to your members as you see fit. It is best to ensure that the members you provide a code with have current machines as all members are still subject to the Closed Beta Program's eligibility requirements. These requirements include but are not limited to:
- Computer Specifications
- Not a member of the press
- Not a member of the gaming industry
Members who you provide a key to must enter it in the Promotional Code section of their Beta Center account (http://betacenter.eamythic.com). They will not be automatically invited and must wait until the first wave of invitations go out in July. We cannot provide anyone with information as to whether or not they currently meet our eligibility requirements.
If you are unable to use all of the codes provided at this time, please provide us with the codes that will not be in use. If, in the future, you wish to use your unused codes simply contact us for new ones.
*note: All members who were previously given a Guild Beta Association last year and are currently in the Closed Beta Program MUST associate a new code with their account. The old Guild Beta association is void and will no longer be honored. Guild members who are already in Beta do not need to associate a code with their account.
We look forward to welcoming you to beta and working together to make a great game we can all enjoy for years to come. Thank you very much for your cooperation over the past months and we encourage you to share this letter with your members.
July is swiftly approaching, see you on the battlefield…WAAAGH!!!

So I asked for 30 codes and they gave me 20 to distribute. My intention is to have anyone who wants a code, and isn't already in beta to post here and I will just PM them the code. But if anyone has a better way to distribute them please don't be afraid to say it.
I don't know how many codes we will use up but I can also post this on the Epic Fail page if necessary. Also I'll be checking vent today to spread the news there.
