Quoted from ES_Archangel: A little update on the VIPs who didn't receive Congrats Emails. After a little work going thru "Part" of the huge database. Most of the VIPs who didn't receive the Congrats email filled out the VIP signup form incorrectly. Most common mistake was bad email addresses or bad referal email address. One thing to keep in mind, EVEN if you didn't receieve a VIP Congrats email, and filled in your postal address correctly, the CD(s) will be coming to you. For those who signed up on the Random 10,000 (and were pick) and got a VIP emails, NO you don't get two CDs. To cut down on the forum posting on VIP congrat emails, email me at archangel@ensemblestudios.com subject: VIP, if you have any questions. It's where 10 000 people get to play a limited, early build of AoM. Ordinarily tests are run on a much smaller scale, but this test is trying out AoM's multiplayer capabilities, and ES want as many people to test as possible to make this a thorough test. 'Alpha' indicates that what we will be seeing is an unfinished product. It can have balance problems, technical problems and the like. ES try and get feedback from people to fix these things before releasing the game. That is correct. The final product will of course contain many new maps, probably as many as 12 players in a game in multiplayer as well as full singleplayer features and an AI. Check out the Signups are already over and confirmation mails have already gone out, so if you didn't send in an application, or haven't received the confirmation mail, tough luck! Those of you on 56k can breathe easy, it'll be distributed via CD. No to all questions. 'Late July'. The date was pushed back due to the addition of all nine civs to the test. We'll have more details on this at a later date. If you have any further questions about the test, please feel free to post them here.

I have received about 15 emails from VIPs who stated they haven't received a VIP Congrats Email. I will go thru these next week and get back to those who email me.
