No one has been invited yet. When they start invites it'll be announced.

Revealing that you're a beta tester is against the NDA and can get you removed from the testing team.

When Zenimax starts sending out invites, they'll announce it.

^ This. Most games betas have it so if you announce you're in beta, you are kicked out of the beta. The Old Republic is the only game I've beta'ed that allowed you to say you're in the beta, just not give any details out about it.

Hard to tell if the NDA says we can't reveal it if we are in beta because I don't know anyone who has read the NDA for ESO yet...However from experiences I have had with other developers in beta and alpha tests, the only place you are allowed to talk about the game you are testing is in the forums they create for that purpose, and the only people who can get to that forum are the ones who were invited. I have in the past been able to send beta or alpha keys to friends because some content needs groups to be tested, and then the developer sometimes will email a few keys to all of their testers so they can invite friends to group with. Usually that will happen near the end of the test when you are testing endgame content that is built for groups and not solo play.

I did. I'm weird.

Just out of curiosity, if I were to hypothetically get into beta, and on the beta specific forums, would it be better for me not to use the same name as I use on here? Should everyone be anonymous, or will I not need to wear a mask around those already in beta in those specific forums?

I'm just asking in case the beta only forums are located within the official TESO forums, and I wanted to keep this username so people from this forum immidiately know to troll me as hard as they can *sarcasm*.

The official twitter sends https://twitter.com/TESOnline/status/306871459966492672 at least once daily still. I think we'll know when they start sending invites.

There will only be two types of people who will say that they are in beta:

1. People who are not actually in beta.
2. People who will soon be removed from beta due to breaching NDA.

It does say that but one of the Devs in an interview when they announced the Beta sign-ups mentioned people being excited and saying they got invited on forums and it being ok to do so. Will just have to wait for when they do send out invites and they(ZOS) announce it and give more details.
