Dear DUST 514 Beta Testers
Recently, there has been a spate of instances where individuals participating in the DUST 514 Closed Beta have breached their NDA. We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that as part of the DUST 514 Closed Beta, accepting and adhering to the NDA is a legally binding requirement that all DUST 514 Closed Beta participants have agreed to.
We understand and appreciate your enthusiasm for DUST 514. After all, it isnGÇÖt every day that one has the opportunity to participate in a ground breaking event that bridges two gaming platforms to create a new MMO genre. However, it is equally important that everyone follow the terms and conditions of the NDA so that we may protect the integrity of the DUST 514 Closed Beta testing phase. If you are not familiar with or do not recall the NDA, hereGÇÖs the link to the on-line location of the NDA.
Going forward, we will continue to enforce the NDA to its fullest measure and any Closed Beta participants found in breach of the NDA will receive a permanent ban on their DUST 514 account(s), without exceptions. We realize and value the time and efforts from all of you participating in the DUST 514 Closed Beta to make DUST 514 a great MMO experience to the world and we wish to see all of you continue to contribute in this regard. Thank you.
The DUST 514 Development Team |

Although I appreciate lawyer-speak as much as the next guy, you might consider producing a very short, human-readable version.
NON-OFFICIAL DRAFT FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY:
* The first rule of Fight Club is don't talk about Fight Club. Not even on Twitter. * Provide feedback. This isn't a free game. The price you pay for entrance is in frequent, honest, detailed feedback. * DUST514 is provided as-is. CCP want's feedback, but is under no obligation to fix anything that's broken. * You don't own your account or the data in it. When the Beta is closed, your characters, your ISK, your AUR all go *poof*. *Wil Wheaton says "Dont be a douche." If you are a douche, CCP can ban you "forever," meaning you won't be able to play the real DUST514 either. * If DUST514 gives you seizures or burns down your house or causes aliens to enslave humanity, CCP may give you up to $50. Or not.

Actually, Tjo... our chars DON'T go poof :) at ff, when asked, CCP told us that we get to keep our characters, however it was unlikely that we would get any of the items/isk/sp that we had accrued during our testing time.
..... but, it was ALSO announced that they would "try to give us something to make up for that fact" |

Really? Cause I heard: "You will keep your SP, ISK, etc" in that presentation... (yeah, I was there). I'm sure that means they'll do something like a player wipe a week, maybe two, before "open beta" comes around (so that we don't have THAT much of a head start over everyone else), but nonetheless... Some quantifiable amount of our acquired skills, points, monies, etc... will "carry over" to the live version. |

I didn't read it anywhere, so I ask:
Are we allowed to say that we participate in the closed beta and tell about a great experience we had?
While I'm not sure about the first part, the second part, as long as it only contains infos that we have already seen (and we saw so much from the game already) shouldn't be a problem. |

What staff - even Hilmar - says in a live event and what the lawyers write into the license are two different, and frankly unrelated, things. One is the fantasy realm of PR and the other is real.
CCP has already hinted at character resets during the Beta period, and you'll notice there's very clear language in the Manual for how AUR purchases are re-spawned during these resets (further implying that resets are planned and may, in fact, happen). It's likely that CCP will let us retain our character names, and perhaps some sort of head start on later players, but they haven't put that in writing.

I am fairly certain that it has been stated that any AUR that are wiped will be refunded after each wipe, and this will include spent AUR.
Otherwise it would be a real good scam to get people to buy AUR and then delete all their gear to get them to buy more.....and CCP are not that s****y |

I lost 2 characters I had when I first started the beta, but was unable to login and play due to scheduling issues for a month and a half. How would I go about finding out if that was caused by suspected breach of the NDA? I've only gone so far as to put a smiley face in response and say "It's awesome". Are those considered breaches? IF not then I guess my characters were wiped during a system wide reset that I was unaware of.
 I have no idea. |

Yes, our plan is to allow your characters from beta to be carried over to the full game. The items and Aurum from the Mercenary Pack will also carry over to the full game.
Yes. your charecter names carry over but they are reset. All aurum and exclusive bundle items are also reset to your account.
No SP or Isk is carried over. |

Someone already asked the person to take down the footage, but he doesn't seem to care since he's apart of Machinima. Assumes he's freaking special for being apart of Machinima... I hate when people like this are able to get into betas. |

I'm kind of curious what is "too much" to say? I've had a game review site that I am in contact with the owner, ask me to give my feedback, as long as it didn't violate the NDA. So, I'm curious....
A. It's neato, get it! B. The way vehicles work in teams is an awesome implementation C. The Balancing between the suit types is great and requires a rounded team D. Taking down the MCC can be hard on some maps
Would I be wrong to go down to B and C options as a level of detail? or am I stuck at "yes, I have the Beta, it's neat"?
IE- Can I talk in generalized terms about things that have been seen / broadcast already? Giving no details / names?
Dev feedback would be appreciated. |

In the article from IGN put regarding their Exclusive access to the beta...
If we're allowed to use this to expand some of the knowledge & understanding about the current build, skills, etc.. without worrying about breaching nda that'd be awesome for consolidating some of our information. |

if you buy the merc pack, when the game release you dont lost your 500k and your 4k aur, but what you win isk, skill point restart, in fack the merc pack is just an acces to beta and some aur and stuff in bonus.
And the beta is close not open, you can read it all time you play on top opf the screen "close beta: testing progress"
I heard some one tell when the game release all beta tester have a sp+¬cial dropsuit, but i dont read anything to proof this so dont take this for a faq but just a possible fake spoiler |

I'm not sure what happened with the last one, but I lost everything. Even my ability to post in forums (I went to check it mid-week, and couldn't even make a new character)
Well, I hope they re-address the NDA after this beta weekend. |

Anyone on your friends list knows you're a beta tester already. The first time I started up the beta half dozen people on my friends list saw Dust 514 as my activity on Psn and immediately messaged me various questions and the like about the game. So CCP made sure the game broadcasts your participation to everyone around you. |

cool that SISI is not included, but since Playstation+ there has been a spate of recordings uploaded on Youtube.
When it is on sale in the store an NDA is not implied or obvious. If it is stated in the agreement it will not be understood properly as most people just click agree without reading these days. Hell it could say:
"clause 29.2: Any CCP GM, employee, relative or CSM representative can legally take up residence in your basement without your consent at any time of their choosing."
and people would still agree obliviously.
going off topic but seriously is this still in effect? hard to keep a lid on Dust y'know! |

We realize and value the time and efforts from all of you participating in the DUST 514 Closed Beta to make DUST 514 a great MMO experience to the world and we wish to see all of you continue to contribute in this regard. Thank you. The DUST 514 Development Team Lots of YouTube videos of Gameplay are showing up now that the PSN folks have a hold of the Beta. What's CCP's stance on YouTube Gameplay videos at this point? (September 2012) Any idea when the Beta will be considered "Open"? |

Ok this isnt to brag but to help other people understand. I've been in 20+ betas and nearly all the NDAs have the same "ideas" and all developers/companies take it very seriously.
Normaly you can not tell anyone about the game, most companies allow you to say "I am a beta tester for _________ game" but nothing else, unless the people you are talking to are also beta testers of the same game. No blogging, no email, no txt, screen shots, nothing no exceptions be it verbal,written,typed, ect, about the game you are testing. NDA in my experiance are never lifted even in open beta and are only lifted once the game is fully released.
As long as you DO NOT share anything about the game, that is not public knowledge, to those outside of the testing group you will be fine. |

Uh oh, because I REALLY wanted to redo some stuff I did in beta (like the faction/race choice) not to mention the name.... |

Just watched a Dust 514 Youtube video on CCP's channel, and there's a ton of NDA breaking there, people are talking and discussing about the game openly. I think they don't even know the NDA exists, so I don't blame them, but you guys need to explain how this works to them. With an email or something. |

If they are beta testers and if they do not have permission from Dust 515 team then yes its a breach. Also if they are beta testers then they see the NDA everytime they start up the game either they have never read it and just ignored it or they dont care. Either way by accepting yes everytime they play and even if they only clicked yes once the have entered an agreement with Dust 514 developers. |

When a rule cannot be enforced, that rule ceases to be relevant. With the release of Codex, I suggest that the NDA be done away with, regardless of the state the game is in. A casual search of YouTube reveals a great deal of beta gameplay videos, and undoubtedly there are many Dust players answering questions about Dust on gaming forums across the Internet. As banning that many people would be a ridiculous thing to do, it is clear that the only sensible path forward is for the NDA to be done away with. |

Codex does not say Closed Beta anymore.
and I know a Dev said on the 30th that we should report anything, but with articles like this:
http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/09/26/sonys-jack-tretton-says-dust-514-is-coming-out-next-month/
can we expect the NDA to remain in place much longer?
The First rule about Dust is not talking about Dust.
It worked as a marketing strategy for Fight Club, but Dust is not a Movie featuring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. I really think that it would be a good idea to get the word out. Public domain info is scarce. So unless thats the plan, more dev blogs and videos please!
The community will do it without you and the amount of time that has gone into the official promo materials so far, it would be a shame to mess this up. |

I would think the fact you can buy the merc pack which grants you access to the beta would be enough to do away with the NDA. It's no longer a closed beta if anyone can essentially buy access. |

That's a good point as is being able to join the corporations that people on EVE Online already have. You have to be at least able to say that you are in the beta. |

@ trincia = NDA is still in effect. Youtube videos still aren't allowed.
@ Barrabus : Free speech rights only apply to government. IE: They can't make laws to say that you can't speak your mind. In pretty much any social or organized group or company that runs a EULA or ToS, It's in there that you are agreeing that you can't just say whatever you want to whoever you want. Free speech doesn't apply to that. This protects users from harassment and such. When you agree to an NDA, you aren't violating or giving up your rights. You're just agreeing not to talk about something. |

That's not losing free speech- NDA is a voluntary agreement between two parties.
That said, the NDA is probably not necessary anymore, but there are some obligations on CCP to get to a quality product before the masses "see" it. |

As I Tweeted CMD Wang, I feel now it would be a good time for players to get their NDA lifted and let them promote the game unrestrained, I got a ton of article ideas for my website ready 2 go, as am sure other players/bloggers have and there is this massive hold off due to the NDA.
If there were any "Trade Secrets" which were to be "revealed" to either competitors or anyone else, getting a beta key is not "that hard"
In the end, I feel the pros of lifting the NDA outweighs the cons by several order of magnitudes, so it is worth considering it. |

I don't understand how the DNA can still be in effect when the game has so open access. While still not an open bata (if it ever becomes one) all you need to access the game is to have a playstation plus account. Hardly the hight security. |

If you don't let the serious players start, then you only get crappy videos by people who don't play much or very well. Those videos will harms Dust's public reception. They don't care if you ban them because they only played for 30 minutes to get some capture and make a short video.
Anyone who wants to actually keep their account cannot release and videos.
