Got a beta key.

Pity my laptop probably won't run it.

There's no official spec at this point but they've said all along that they are are planning that it should run on older and lower spec PCs (increase the player base rather than limit it to those with top end hardware), albeit on low graphics settings. Your best bet is to ask on the official beta forum (link at the bottom of the email), it's breaking NDA to discuss specifics anywhere else.
 
You can have my account if you want. I own everything up to the expansion before the current one although are accounts tied to bank details etc? :hmm:

It's something like a 30gig download though. Oh hang on, I think Diablo III might be tied to the same account. I'm unlikely to play that ever again either though.
 
How did you get these? I feel like I'm missing out, even though I have no interest in it whatsoever. :)
 
I got a beta key. I applied for it ages (a year?) ago. It says not to use my email but my username i gave them a year or so ago which obviously I can totally remember. :facepalm:

the thing is we were told we were in the beta by the email. that was before we did the NDA.

the email says the contents of the beta are confidential but does not say you participation was also confidential.

we had no way of knowing that.

I posted that I was in as soon as I saw the email as I'm sure the rest of you did.
I'm not sure how we can be blamed for that. the email should have had warning if they wanted to avoid this.

No, you were invited to the beta by the email. You're not IN until you've registered, which includes agreeing to the NDA. ;)

It came with an access code. That's as good as in.

Anyway, you started going on about the NDA when all I mentioned was the email.
 
How's this for a badly-constructed sentence from their tech support:
Rest assured, you will still be considered for future Mac beta events even if you don't redeem the PC key as long as you have signed up for the Mac beta.

It also says not to tell anyone else you're in the beta :D

The devs have also said that they understand people get excited and do it before they've fully read the email or even seen the NDA, let alone agreed to it. They have said that they will not take action against anyone who gets overexcited and 'squee's a bit about getting an invite. I suspect that legally they'd not be able to either, if people haven't yet seen or agreed to the NDA.

Exactly. You get to see - and agree to - the NDA later; it's only briefly covered in the email.

Too late its off to prison for you blabber mouth. the only way out of this is to PM me any information about the beta as i know all about the law and that

Well that is certainly a TES-themed threat at least :D
Morrowind: Prison ship
Oblivion: Prison dungeon
Skyrim: about to be executed.

Can't recall Daggerfall, was that a prison or a cave at the start, I can't remember?
 
If anyone wants to look up anything in the public realm to do with ESO, there is a good compilation of non-NDA breaking info available at The Tamriel Foundry Development FAQ, all the stuff compiled there is from publicly released info such as developer interviews and the like.
