A little while back Joe talked about how they were going to make more ways to get into Pioneer testing, but we haven't heard anything new in months about it or any updates. In preparation for The Arena.
IMHO one new way should be that any player dedicated enough to play the game and reach Pirate Legend should get an automatic invite, since these are the core players who are more likely to stick with the game long term.
Any updates about this would be greatly appreciated.
