Notes:
All is subject to change based on player feedback and our own determination on where the game is at.
I received an email from stardock saying they received my order and will bill me when they process it
You should have the same if you preorder through stardock
Does anyone have any info regarding whether or not they're still going to open beta up to us pre-order folks today?
I would like to know as well. I pre-ordered last week, hope they are still going to open it up to us.
That's what they said last week I think. That's why I preordered. W8 and see.
Ofc 1 week is a lot of time in game developing. Anything can happen.
So what time is the beta being opened again today?
That's just the thing, nobody knows... We just have to wait for the Devs to post an update. Could be today, could be next week, could be months before we, the late pre-order folks, get access.
i was under the impression that the people that are in the first beta would get the update today and the new users would be given access tomorrow (friday in the US)
Ah! Interesting... The last I had heard of this was last week when they said they would probably open up beta to pre-order people "next Thursday".
you could be right fenrus, normally they wouldnt release a build on fridays in case it would explode and they would have to fix it. so perhaps the party will start today for everyone.
I pre-ordered Elemental in January and I just downloaded the Beta 1G.
Check your emails, you should have received one with your serial for Elemental. Just need to register it with Impulse and that's it, you are able to download it.

Quotes are not working for me but thanks, I have received an email from stardock about my preorder! Looks like I'm good to go and ready to have some beta fun!
Indeed I am, but thats what they invented IE tab for!
You know ... I really think that shipping food from a Farm in City X all the way back to City Y via road would be nice. As in, City X no longer has the food, and City Y has the food. At least so long as the road remains intact.
As well as more housing upgrades ... need something better than a house. or rather, need somethings IN BETWEEN hut and house, and house can be the premier coupe de gran, just under apartment for population amounts.
Hut-10, Hovel-20, House-30, Community House-40, Apartment-50, Apartment Complex-100
^ this I would like to see
Yup, we're actually in Beta 1G now, but the header post in this thread hasn't been updated.
Well, I DID preorder Elementals last year. Thing is, my Visa card expired a few days before the new openings for the beta and all I got instead of a mail telling me I had access was a mail telling me billing failed
Well, it FEELS like we are still in Beta 1F. And by that, I mean where are the quests?
Has anyone gotten a quest, and if so, where did you find it? Ive explored entire maps and researched nearly complete tech trees .... ????
There seems to be a problem with the quest files being placed in the right directory. See this post for a work around.
from my understand they have already implented the above things is there a status update on the beta ?
Yeah, the first post should be updated... AFAIK, Beta 2 will start in April.
Short of testing crashes, what are we still testing in 1G? Most of the issues I and others have reported seem to be resolved in the latest build, and certain assumptions we make about the game are no longer valid given the gameplay changes, so we can't really give reliable feedback.
Is there something Stardock still needs to sort out or do they want to do a monolithic release for Beta 2 and surprise us with a lot of new content? Just wondering on that.
probably. I doubt much feedback on 1G is helpful at this point. However we truly made a breakthrough by rederiving food as a Global resource (Net food is global).
This one change is truly epic, and I am proud.
There's now going to be a beta 1Z which apparently will have lots of gameplay changes
"Now" when?
In a week? A month?
