hello,
in December I got an email that says I'll have access to the Closed Beta, since I am an insider for a year, and now I got an email that says I need to pre-order in order to get access .
help?
thanks, Mars.
beta access
@marsunstopable @ssjvegeta420 can you both log out of the forums, clear your browser cache, and log back in and come back here? I want to see if your badges appear correctly as a fix was rolled out this morning.

Ok i just did that... anyways when i go to the xbox marketplace i see no way to download the game or join the closed beta i am supposedly accepted into.... i do see a preorder now for 79.99 canadian dollars plus TAX would would be over a 100 bucks@ssjvegeta420 @GutsyFollowers have you both tried this article?
@ssjvegeta420 If you have tried everything else and you have no choice then all you need to do is click on support, get help, find the topic or as close to it and scroll down... raise a request 👍
@gutsyfollowers if you have then you’ll likely have to wait for Support, unfortunately this Gamertag does not appear to have been invited to the alpha, nor signed up before December 1st. Support has further ways of verification than I do, so hopefully I’m wrong in this case.
@ssjvegeta420 Its actually $83.99, i pre ordered already and got the beta access email also that asks you to pre order lol
@dhg-ixxrmacxxi Hopefully as I mentioned about not recieving any emails to about anything, which is a shame coz I would have been in the forums more often chatting about it, might have even had some alpha videos 😓
Hey ho ho and a bottle of rum!
@dhg-ixxrmacxxi
I dont have the old verification email...
I did get a message for a Royalbracelet9
About preordering the game just now....MY NAME IS NOT ROYALBRACELET9
ITS SSJVEGETA420 and when i originally signed up it was with my account.... it arbitrarily gave me royal bracelet9 as my name on here initially but it changed to my normal name.....I SURE (Mod Edited) HOPE rare didnt screw me by generating a new xbox live account and give beta access to it instead of my real account which was the one i signed up with to be an insider..
I really love sea of thieves from what ive seen and i HAVe been so excited to be teased with a closed beta invite... ive told all my friends about this and now it seems the beta invite was in error or a lie
What is going on.... i really nred to contact support with this issue and im hoping they can fix it for me..
@dhg-ixxrmacxxi
Does my name appear on the invite list? Can you check? Also in my email i just got a message calling me royalbracelet9My gamertag is ssjvegeta420 and that is the account i signed up as an insidier with...
I do not own any xbox account called royalbracelet9 nor have i made one.... there seems to be some sort 0f error.. please help me
@ssjvegeta420 Im quit sure the email we all got was just a spam email to get more preorders and not an actual beta access. Its a miss leading title, that is all.
@ssjvegeta420 neither this Gamertag or “royalbraclet9” appear to have been signed up prior to December 1st 2017 in order to get access to the Beta. Rare would not have assigned random gamertags, it would have been assigned if you signed up with an email that was not associated with a Microsoft Gamertag.
@ssjvegeta420 don't panic to much just raise a ticket and I'm sure they will do all they can to help.
There's probably thousands of people getting excited for the beta and no doubt has raised a lot of issues, they will make the rounds I'm sure.
Arghhhhhhhhhh!
@dhg-ixxrmacxxi
Oh i am FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW... i have the email promising me FREE BETA ACCESS .. i use my cellphone.. can you give me a support email i can forward my free access as proof@ssjvegeta420 you will have to contact support for assistance in this matter as we’ve covered all we can on the forums for now.
@gutsyfollowers said in beta access:
might have even had some alpha videos 😓
it was under NDA and capturing/recording/screenshots were not allowed :)
@ssjvegeta420 why are you freaking out you have not even signed up for the insider program. You are not a founder or a pioneer. If you did not sign up for insider Program before December 1st or play in the technical alpha. Then the only way for you to get into the closed beta is by preordering.
If I am incorrect in this statement please let me know @Deckhands
@zombie-p1ague
yes i did sign up for the insider program. I also have an email saying thanks for being apart of the insider program and we will give you FREE BETA ACCESS ! I would attach the email as proof but i use mobile and the forums wont allow me to attach anything@ssjvegeta420 You strike me as the type of gamer that joins a beta thinking its the full game and then trys to soil the reputation when you get dissapointed by something simple... like an email mix up...
This email was sent to me on december 9th 2017 with the headline saying
THANKS INSIDER, ENJOY YOUR CLOSED BETA ACCESS!Sea of Thieves' launch is on the horizon, officially happening on March 20th 2018!
As a Sea of Thieves Insider, you've helped us to build the foundations of this swashbuckling adventure. As a thank you, we'll be granting you free access to the upcoming Sea of Thieves Closed Beta!
We're excited to talk about the Closed Beta in more detail in early 2018. Until then, allow us to tempt you with the Sea of Thieves pre-order bundle – available now!
...........................YEAHi am upset because im being told be people on here that im apparently not apart of the insider program and that i now dont have beta access.... when you have been hyping a game and telling all your friends about the game convincing them to preorder, making youtube videos supporting it etc and then your told it was all a mistake or a lie.... yeah i would be upset and so would alot of others in my position...
I got the emails and i DID SIGN UP BEFORE THE FIRST AND I AM A INSIDER.... ..
Taking that email as a mistake is so upsetting.. its like recieving an email saying you won a million bucks .. i go on the forums asking about this and they say.. sorry dude that was a mistake
Simply being an 'Insider' does not guarantee access to the Closed Beta. You have to have been an Insider before a set date. Your account does not show as Insider and only appears to have been activated a few days ago.
Example, I am an Insider as made present by the 'insider' within on my post. This alone did not get me access to the closed beta because I just recently joined. I did just pre-order the game off of marketplace to grant me access to the closed beta.
I also receive the email today about pre-ordering the game in order to gain access to the closed beta but as previous comments have already pointed out, this appears to be a spam notice to everyone and does not represent a official notice of invite to the closed beta.
@typical-mat
Your assumtions are incorrect.. i just want to be apart and help discover bugs etc.. rare can thank me for several sales...Stop disrespecting me and being insulting
@ssjvegeta420 You are going about this in a very sour way it clearly states "We're excited to talk about the Closed Beta in more detail in early 2018. Until then, allow us to tempt you with the Sea of Thieves pre-order bundle – available now!".
To me that means you will probly get a new email before the beta starts with a code and information on how to access it.
not that you deserve it...
@ssjvegeta420 If you wanted to help you wouldnt be going about this in such a disrespectful manner. I am not insulting, i am just stating your actions.
@ssjvegeta420 Hello mate, as I mentioned before please contact support and they will assist you. We have done all we can here.
I am going to close this down as all that can be done here has been done.
