APB January Schedule:
-There will be a 48 hour play test over the weekend of the 9th January
-We will be holding a series of customisation based competitions on the 16th and 17th January.
-There will be a 5 day long play session on the 18th January.
As you can see, still very limited play sessions. There has been several hints that more invites will be sent out in January. If you happen to get one, these are your windows of opportunity. If the rumored March release is correct, suspect a more thorough Beta toward the end of February/beginning of March.
Since my captains-in-training didn't take the initiative, I'm going to open up the beta account that we have to all who would like to play this weekend. I want everyone to have a chance to get a taste and potentially get excited about the game. Priority will go to captains/staff members first, so they get first pick at time slots.
If anyone refuses to log off after their allotted time or changes the password to prevent login or messes with any important details, you will instantly be kicked from the guild. I'm assuming I won't have that problem, though. Account details will be sent out in a day or two to those who sign up so that you can download the client.
Right now I'm going to have time slots at 3 hrs each, but we might go down to 2 hrs during peak play times if there's a lot of conflict. It starts at midnight THEIR time (FA time is 6 hours BEHIND APB time).
For now, please sign up for ONE time slot per day and do not try to sign up for the same time both days. You are only guaranteed one slot, but if there are more available, you can take a second. If there are empty slots on the day of testing and you would like to take those hours too, please post here on that day so that we know. As always, thanks to External for access!
(All times are FA time)
UPDATE: Account has been blocked. It was blocked before the play session began. Sorry.

I was looking to play while I was on break. But I'm start classes again on the 11th, meaning I'll have less time. However, I'd still like to play the game during some play sessions.
-
They didn't have any play sessions during the holiday break. I think they're last test was in EARLY December. I know, lame, right?
-
I'll sign up for a day over the 5-day period.
-
Sign ups open for Beta this weekend!
-
I'd like to take the 9am-12pm slot on the 9th, if none of the higher ranking members want it.
-
I'll sign up officially for 12-3 after Manic. And I'll be down for playing in any other open times when I'm around.
-
I can't be here at all this weekend, so my play-time will be limited to the 5-day.
Hope everyone has fun!!
-
Sign me up for Sunday 3-6p
-
9th - 3 till 6 please - EU lot, let me know if you want to share this with me or whatever.
-
Where are the APB servers located? I'd like to set up a clock on my phone so I know when my play time starts.
Are the times we sign up for considered FA time or APB time?
-
Servers are located in the UK, so you may experience a little lag due to the distance.
The play-times are FA time.
-
I believe they are 6 hours ahead of us. Play time starts at midnight on the 9th, hence why our sign-ups start at 6 on the 8th. Sign up times are FA time.
-
Got it.
-
I'll probably be in and out during the day on Sat. but you can put me down for the 9-12 time period
-
I've got the evening off and will be in APB most of the night. So far no one has signed up for tonight, but I'd love to show the game to some of you. If you're available tonight and interested, jump on TS so you can download and try it out!

I've got bad news. Apparently the account we were going to use was blocked. I'm not sure how. No one really had access to it until today, unless External's friend (the original account owner) shared it with more than just External. For obvious reasons, we won't be sharing the other account. Sorry guys.
