Seriously there has been a huge increase in the number of new members. The amount of people who have joined after the beta was announced is very high. Have you seen the amount of stupid new threads asking about the beta. There are thousands of new members on the forums. Not all of them have made any posts though. This thread is an example. On this page almost everyone who posted joined after the beta was announced.

to be fair a lot of us had been on the forum longer. i had an account (same name) ever since morrowind came out but for some reason when we went over to these current day forums i guess my account didn't transfer so ive never remade one, untill the beta

Good Point. But at this point everyone is so desperate they're making themselves think it's at the latest
tomorrow.

Mid week: Wednesday
Late week: Thursday - Saturday

I don't care if i don't get applied to it,

It's like lottery, no try no chance.

on the other hand im sure that bethesda is smart enough to keep track of who actually posted in the forums, whether they were given any warnings, etc.

they might not catch em all but im sure they are smart enough to weed out the ones that are just tryin to get free stuff. like the dumb guy that pasted he was gonna leak info if he got the beta...i bet u he wont get it lol.

personally i really do want the beta. as ive said b4 i love Elder Scrolls and would love to be able to help fix bugs, but if i dont get it then w/e...im still gonna buy it

There's always next DLC, besides i'm probably gonna get stuck on it and come back for help...so yeah I'm staying...

Very true just it would stink if we didn't cuz unless I am the only one I already have hyped myself to the extreme so each new day with no email kinda hurts

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 1:34 pm

I'd say early week is Monday/Tuesday possibly even Wednesday at a push... Yes a calender week technically starts on Sunday, most would just say the start is Monday. But honestly I suspect that they will possibly arrive today but most likely Tuesday...

» Sun Jun 17, 2012 2:45 am

Seriously?

i was just asking no need to be sarcastic, i had no idea if i was soon or later this week

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:24 pm

Not to bring you guys down or anything, buts its pretty unlikely that even 10% of the applicants will be accepted, think about it.

This isnt like the 360 dashboard Beta's, where they need masses of people to test how it performs, this is a DLC(a pretty [censored] big one at that)

They probaly recived tens of thousands of requests, and there is no way everyone will get in, i mean i doubt they had over 200 people testing the FULL game, and that was 10 times as long, and full to the brimm with bugs.

But then again, they obviously wanted to test the [censored] out of this DLC, and they were bound to know the response would be overwhelming....i dont know.

I've probably just gone mad or something.

I posted this in another thread about a week ago.

Skyrim total sales - 10,000,000 (shipped/sold- round number)
Skyrim total sales US / Xbox360 - 3,199,538 (stat taken around 2/26/2012)
Beth Forum Members - 313,322 this number is now 322,761

Now assuming that 1/3 of total members are Xbox players AND play Skyrim.
Beth Forum Skyrim 360 members - 103,396 This number is now 106,511

That is if EVERY 360 member signs up. Then add in (x) from the other 3 million copies sold in the US alone.

EDIT : ~~Even if only10% of the 360 members sign up, that is over 13,000.~~

EDIT 2 : Yet, out of the 360 members. I would guess that 75% are in the US. Now that is 77,547.
That number is now 79,833
Still...if only 10% of those sign up, that is at least 7,750 current members. That number is now
>> 7,983 <<

Now you can pick some more from the other 3 million.
