The rest of us can continue to seethe with envy. The official DevTracker posts follow the jump.
We did indeed just send out a number of surveys through our testing partner Magid. These invites were sent to various people in the US, UK, and EU. If you received it, go ahead and fill out the survey! To be clear, this is not a direct testing invite. This is a survey which will determine eligibility for a certain phase of testing we are preparing.
If you still have questions or concerns, you can always contact us at bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com.
While we understand just about everyone who's not currently in Game Testing wants to be in Game Testing, that doesn't mean we can invite all of you at once.
These surveys are sent to get a decent pool of responses, from which our market research team can draw upon to get a good demographic mix for their research.
Just because any particular country is not included in the invite list does not mean that people in that country will never be invited to Game Testing.
In fact, given the two-step nature of the research process (fill out a survey, qualify, then get invited) and the small numbers of people invited, you have about as much chance to get selected through Game Testing through normal means as you do via this research.
For more on the emails, check the DevTracker.

Posted 6/16/2011 12:15:34 AM"If you receive a survey email, then complete the survey and qualify, you'll be allowed into a limited time test (with research surveys involved). It's quite different from being in the general Game Testing program.
[...]
No, it means you've been accepted to be part of a research program within Game Testing. While you'll be playing the game, it's for research purposes, not as part of the general Game Testing program."
