    They have clearly stated that beta events will start in march, so i guess not this but the next weekend will be the beta event

    Seeing as Next week is the 1st week in March i think the Beta will start next week.

    Anyone have any ideas as to whether it'll be a weekend only beta, or 24/7 access until the entire length of the beta period ends?

    Weekend only then they give a new group of people access when the next test period is

It, by definition, is a term used to say that you can 'not normally' do this or that the higher authorities involved do not recomend that you do so but are unable to do anything about it.

    It never syas you can't... >.<

    That will be my excuse anyway...
    There was a twitter post somewhere that said it's ok to tell family members and RL friends you're in the beta. They can't really enforce most of the NDA anyways unless a downloadable lawyer comes along with every beta invite.

    We know it won't be 24/7, but I haven't seen anything on whether it'll just be a weekend thing or a week long.

    They've said that there will be several beta events, and getting into 1 beta event doesn't guarantee that you'll be in other subsequent beta events. You have a chance to get into more than 1 beta event though because they'll still hold onto your application throughout all the events.

    Though this is probably what will happen it's not 100% confirmed:

    Will the test servers be open 24/7, or will you have specific periods for testing?

    Details will be provided if you are accepted into a Beta Event.

    breaking NDA won't do much more than annoy them.
    If too many people do it, they'll may rethink doing an other Beta event, or at least be much more selective about it, and if "you" are "caught" that'd probably mean no more beta invites for you in particular.
    Aside from those rather mondane, but still annoying, consequences they can't enforce anything else.

    [edit] my stand on the subject is that rather than annoy the people doing the game, and potencialy annoy the whole fanbase, i'd rather play along and help them get it out faster.

Was just wondering if I missed something refering to this on thier NDA.
    No you can not, if you read the FAQ on the beta it states that in the NDA that you are not allowed to say your in the beta and if you do you can be disqualified from any beta event from them in the future. Obviously if you and your friend both apply for beta, and if your friend asks you if you got in your answers are probably going to be either "nope sucks" or "maybe maybe not, I can not tell you because if I did then the NDA doesn't let me say", in which case unless your screwing with your friends head is pretty obvious but you didn't technically break the NDA since you didn't directly say that you where in the beta you just didn't dis credit being in it either.
