If you haven't received an invite for BETA testing by now then you probably haven't been chosen right?
Invites have not gone out as far as I know. If you pre-ordered SL, Or got it free through the 12 month sub feature, you are guaranteed a spot. Just make sure you go to your account page on the Rift Site and confirm you want into the beta. (whether or not you pre-ordered SL, you can choose to opt in)

Weird how come I can't find in my profile where to include signature.
I will go preorder SL then - how much is it? I subbed for 6 months guess I am not automatically chosen yet.
There are several options to pre-oder SL, and one of them is to buy a 12 month subscription now.
Here is a link to see which retailers you can pre-order SL from and the rewards (different types of cape) each gives: http://stormlegion.riftgame.com/en/retailers/
I'm not sure about your 6 month sub, because frankly the Beta is "open" in that anyone can sign up and be chosen for it, but those who pre-ordered are guaranteed a spot.

Something that I've noticed that really sucks, and I'm not trying to bash Trion here, just stating my feelings, is that it costs me the full $50 to buy SL from my preferred outlet in order to get the cape that I would prefer. There are so many more benefits to pre-ordering through Trion that it makes less sense to buy anywhere else. I would just prefer to get the cape I would rather have for the same price.
I've seen the Cape complaint on the forums a couple of times, and I just don't get it. I mean, yeah, the other retailers' capes are cool, but what happens if/when you find a better cape in-game at level 53, or a few days later at level 60?
If the capes were a one-time thing, I could totally understand the issue, but one has to assume the REAL fancy shit comes later with dungeons, master modes, raids, and/or holiday events.
Perhaps. But is that a guarantee? Remember, we're not talking about something you can quantify. It's about personal preference and what I find aesthetically pleasing. Will I find a cloak that I like better than the version Trion's pre-order gives me? Probably. Will I find a cloak that I like better than the version that Best Buy or Steam's pre-order gives me? Less likely. You can't use an argument based on assumption when dealing with personal preference. And, even if I DO find a cape that I find more appealing than those, what's the point of penalizing for buying elsewhere, especially when they're obviously giving these retailers exclusivity to specific capes in order to draw in players who prefer those capes?
I have created my OWN signature. BEHOLD CRETANS!
on topic. I can smell it in the air, that wonderful time of the year. Yes, thats the smell...smells like...beta I am super pumped now, and cant wait.
Can you guys see anything if you use the search bar on beta forums?
Amazing awesomeness checked my e-mail just now BETA invite yay, can't start downloading yet cos on my way to work bah, I know I can't get in till Friday but I am like a giddy kid just wanting to watch the download screen
Check your emails, beta invites are going out. Currently downloading the client
EDIT: Okay, while the client is downloading I went off to read the beta forums, and while I don't want to disclose anything until I know if there is an NDA (who reads these legal blurbs, really? Should just be a big warning saying "The First Rule of Beta Club is, No Talking!"), what I can say is...
...holy shit these mage changes look awesome!
