[City of Heroes] This makes me sad...

City of Heroes Closed Beta Announced.

Like clockwork, as soon as I stop checking the site daily, they announce the beta. :angry:

Unfortunately, while they say everyone signed up on the message boards will eventually get invited, those who registered first will get the first invites. Which puts me about 2 years down on the list. :(

Also, I meet all the requirements for the Beta except for the Broadband connection. I'm wondering if I should lie about it and risk having to download the 2gb+ files if Cryptic decides not to ship CDs.

This game is so going to rule. :ph34r:

I ran through that 700+ post thread and got a few snippets :

Sorry, Doc. No dial-up in any capacity during these first initial stages of the closed beta.

I bloody hope so.

Yes it will be, BGmasta. At least at this stage.

By the time you get invited (probably close to or when the open beta starts, if you first registered in '03) there should probably be an option for a CD though.

And yes, this game is going to pwnz0r j00.
