PSO2 (JP) - Playstation Vita Beta Test Details and Schedule

SEGA has launched their official player's site for PSO2 Vita's closed beta test and emails to all 50,000 selected testers (chosen by lottery out of more than 100,000 applicants) have been sent out. If you were one of the lucky ones to get invited, there are some details posted on the new site that you'll want to be aware of and below is a brief rundown for your convenience.

For starters, players will only be able to access the test servers on six designated testing days, and only during certain hours on those days. Those days and times are as follows:

January 15th, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 17th, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 19th, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 23rd, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 25th, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 26th, 2013 from 3:00pm - 11:00pm JST

January 25th @ 3:00pm JST - January 26th @ 11:00pm JST (32 hours, Updated!)

For those of you in the US, that eight-hour testing window is going to start at 1:00am EST (12am CST / 11pm MST / 10pm PST) and end at 9:00am EST (8am CST / 7am MST / 6am PST).

If you received an acceptance email, you'll need to enter the included code into the Japanese Playstation Store to download (Wi-Fi only) the client. The game will require that you have more than 2GB of free space. SEGA also mentions that accounts with chat restrictions due to parental controls will be unable to play the game and that setting will need to be disabled.

During the beta test, players can report any issues using a special form that SEGA has set up here. Also be sure to check out this thread in the forums if you want to meet up with other testers from PSOW and the EN community (thanks Crystal_Shard).
