Timer reduced to 5 minutes (five times more invites)

Finally,good news.

Damn still waiting...I'm eternally frustrated that old , orphaned accounts will get beta keys that will never bne used!

I'm impressed you guys did the calculations!

It's dismal, of course, I want to get a few hours of play in before I ship out for recruit training...

I just hope the best for this game, it deviates from the norm and it appeals to the style I love!

The change to five minutes is greatly appreciated!

Great news, this should bring some hopes up.

Hellllllllllllll yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I was eager to join, I hope there will be a key

So from search we find that there are 156 500 accounts.

From those lets assume that 16500 are in beta (generous number)

So the chances of anyone getting into beta at any given countdown is:
1/(156500-16500) = 1/140000 = 0.000714 %

Given a 5 min timer the chance is 0.2 % per day and 6.17 % per month.
(the 288 ppl per day that get into beta and the new ones that sign up dont really affect the percentages)


In comparison on a 20 min timer the chances would be 0.05 % per day and 1.54 % per month

So all in all a nice bump but still way low to get excited about :(

(all these are assuming the chances that each account has to get into beta are the same, which may not be the case)

Im fresh right here but i do have older acc for over half year now ad so go on 0 keys. Truth is that there is to much forgotten acc that blocks our way for beta key -_- let luck be with us
