SUMMARY: If you are in the petopian guild and have been for some time, and wish to enter the drawing in order to get into the beta with our guild invites, please send me a PM about wanting to enter. The deadline is Monday 9th August 2010.

Yep, we won, so I've been told. Got an email after a guildie told me that the emails went out that were legit, so I assume this is it. It said the following:

Congratulations!

So, this means, me and 9 other members will be put into the beta.

OMG RYNO LET ME IN C'MON I WANT 2 GOOOOOOO

lolk.

We will be having a lottery for this. Please send me a PM if you wish to come to the beta.
Edit: You do NOT have to include any information. Just let me know that you would like to be entered. Only the winners will give me the name and ID and such.

It will be RANDOM when I choose. I will not pick someone over another because they can post screenshots, or make videos, etc. It will be fair to all (so long as you're in the guild, mind you. ;) )

Anyway, yeah. Woo beta. :D

in fairness anyone who is not in the guild do not attempt to join in hopes of winning i think its only fair that the more long term members get to go and its not fair if you all mass join and never come on after the beta is over just to get into a beta test
i think that sounds alright

WHOO! Grats, you guys! I'd hop in, but I've already got Beta, so I'm good. Have fun, whoever gets in...I'll be on Lost Isles, Azunara. (NO, Ryno. You can't stalk me on Beta! >:|)

Knowing Ryno it might be best if we didn't see it, could cause mental harm.

Pretty much. I'll randomly gather all the names of everyone who wanted to go and pick from that, using a random method. Probably out of a hat, or some other bowl shaped container.

This is awesome! I knew they were not going to just go for the top-end raiding guilds for this. :D

Teigs, I remember hearing something similar, but I can't remember where... Official forums perhaps?

Sweet. Hope those who get picked enjoy the beta. I did Beta for Wrath and though buggy at first, it was great fun. I would love to get an invite, but I am sure there are others who are higher priority than I.

Gratz again to those who have gotten in and to those who get in.
