Barunson E&A in conjunction with several MMO websites in North America and Europe, began giving out key codes for CBT1 late last week (the keys from all of those have been snapped up already). Previously, they mentioned they were planning to give out around 15,000 codes (to help supplement those with guaranteed access from pre-ordering the mid/high tier packs). They also directly raffled off keys on their own Discord. A fraction of these key giveaways were likely redeemed by bots for key resellers (there were some already trying to sell codes the same day).
CBT1 begins on June 25th and runs until July 1st where the focus will be stress testing their infrastructure, PvE content including progression (there will be an NPC available once a character reaches level 10 in order to get to level 50 so that end game content and systems can be pounded on).
Myself, I have ONE extra code I will be giving away in a few hours (I’ll be updating this post with info on the giveaway).
UPDATE: I posted a video for Astellia on my channel which should be self-explanatory regarding the CBT1 code.
