So I'm off work now, and the answer is no... Not untill the game finally finishes "first time setup" do you get the information that the beta starts at midnight PST.
So anyone know what time it will actually be playable? I live in central time zone. I was able to start making an account and what not and then it told me it was e-mailing me a code. That was hours ago and I still never got that e-mail.
