    Default When will Beta be available for Download?

    do you guys think it will be available 2-3 days prior for download? Just curious, or is the download gonna be available on Dec 3 followed by like 6 hrs of downloading?

    Would be nice to download like weds-thurs before the launch just so there arent 10,000 or whatever people downloading it all at once

    Ide figure on a download 24/48 hours before.If not a lot of people with slow download speeds wouldnt be able to test,that way they can get people prepared before the beta start.
    Might see it in the email a day or two before.

    I hope they do it about five days before, but it'll probably be more like two.

    Where do I get the beta client?
    If you are selected to participate, information on when and where to download the beta client will be sent to you.

    this was taken from; http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=23684
    Rift: Planes of Telara Senior Community Manager Cindy "Abigale" Bowens has just released a FAQ for the upcoming beta.

    3 to 5 days seems decent enough to me.

    With current download speeds of most people it should not take to long to get the full client if it is 20g or less.

    Hello guys/girls.

    You will be able to download the game if you are selected for the beta testing of the game as it's random selection. You will be sent an e-mail adress if you are accepted for the beta and there will be the download link for the game.

    Hope this helped you?

    Its not likely to be the full client as they only need to include 2 zones worth of files for the first beta weekend.

    It would be great that it would be available before the close beta test it might take for me about 1-2 hours to download and be ready at beta if i got chosen

    They said it would be available "a few days prior to the start of each event" in the FAQ.
