I thought it might be fun to have a thread for people who have been appointed as 'alpha testers' to show off about it.

Because (from the Alpha Testing rules: ea.arcsivr.com/Portal/EA-CTE/AlphaAgreement)

You may disclose the existence of the Alpha Program and that you are a member of the Alpha Program.

Please note, alpha testers are explicitly required to not share confidential information, here or elsewhere.

"Confidential Information includes: (1) Information about, within, or sent through the Alpha Materials and the Alpha Program, including (a) the performance, capabilities and content of the Alpha Materials; and ( b ) Feedback from you, other Alpha Program Participants, or EA employees; and; and (2) Information about EA’s products, services or business operations. You may not share, publish, disclose, distribute, transmit, post or make available, directly or indirectly, Confidential Information to any third party, until EA publicly releases the product(s) or content you are reviewing."

Furthermore, if anyone is foolish and does share anything confidential, please report their post and we'll take moderation action immediately. :police:

But if you want a thread to strut and wink at people, here it is.

Testing isn't until Sat/Sun so I'm tomorrow at the latest but, who knows. I got the email invite and signed up that day and it's still "pending" for me as well.

I tried to sign up as soon as I received the email and it still took me 8 hrs so I wonder if some people who got the email. who supposedly will get priority, gave up after a while due to the website issues.

Mine still say pending. On Reddit some people were saying that their applications weren’t showing up at all anymore, possibly indicating they were rejected.

So, as long as it still says pending, there’s still hope.

We need at least one person from BSN to get in (and post here that they did) so we can send all our hate and jealousy their way.

Mine still says pending as well.

Rumor has it that e-mails are going out after the game awards.

So in around 12 hours?

Still pending for me.

Update: The game is in my origin library! It's greyed out and says it's no longer available in Origin, but this is a good sign yes?

Do others have it in their library?

It says download can start at 1800 EST 06 Dec ...

And it's past that time ...

But can't download it yet.

Hmmm ...

Wonder if they meant PST?

Edit add: Nope ... it now says CST ... or most likely, I misread it ... as of now, 20 more minutes before download begins.

[insert anticipation intensifies gif here]

And so it begins (the download).
