Hi, I have a few quick questions about the Beta test.
Will we be playing on a seperate server for the beta,
or will we be playing in the current japanese servers?
also- are all of the ps2 beta emails done being sent
out, or will there be more in the future?
lastly, how many beta testers are their total?
Thanks!

there you have it. This should answer the questions of some of my fellow beta testers
I was kind of looking forward to playing with some importers from this forum, but I suppose US Beta servers will be good as well. There wont be a million huge ppl running around, so we will all be even when we start the beta
