Operation: Clarification
 
 
 
 
 
by Piranha Games May 22, 2012 11:24 AM PDT Hi everyone!
 
You've probably seen our big news today - Beta signups are official! But how, you ask?
 
First, log onto the forums; then click profile and it's right there! For greater clarity closed beta starts today! we will be inviting users as soon as tomorrow.
 
Secondly, how the Founders program beta/early access works: The program is purchasable on June 19th and you gain guaranteed access to the closed beta on July 17th.
 
Thirdly, the reason this announcement stated 'North America' is that it's for North American servers – As we have mentioned we are working very hard to launch MechWarrior Online in every region worldwide. We may also run a similar Operation for other regions, therefore we are required to recommend that for the best play experience you register and play in your region in the near future. However There is no IP blocking. You can signup from everywhere just keep in mind that if you are outside of North America we cannot guarantee your play experience.
 
Thanks for being the most awesome fanbase ever, and we hope this clears up your questions.
 
Sincerely,

The MechWarrior Online team.

It looks like they have temporarily disabled the beta signups, though to quote one mods

They are working behind the scenes to implement something new and super ultra exciting.

 It'll happen when it happens.
