Lego beta sign-up

[Bramble]

1. I'm sure there is, hopefully my breaching of it is circumspect. Can't find the actual thing you agree to, although someone has posted this quote on the forum:
"It has come to our attention that LEGO Universe videos, screenshots and other Closed-Beta content has been shared on a number of public sites. This is in breach of the Declaration of Secrecy signed by all Closed-Beta testers.
Please help us protect the game by respecting the Declaration of Secrecy, and bear in mind that you are not permitted to share or write about anything you see in the Closed-Beta test. We thank you for your understanding."
So I've told you there is a Bramble (well, there was, every so often it resets and we have to start again), and the other stuff I've mentioned is either on the Lego Universe open website. (Well, maybe not the Dwarf-taught dance emote...) And the Beta-tester prizes aren't in game, so hopefully no issues there.

2. Don't know, I'm at work currently, but it wasn't ludicrous. This is the recommended/min spec they're advertising on the website for the full game:
PC Recommended Specifications
• Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit), with the latest Service Packs • Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 3200+ • 1 GB RAM (2 GB RAM with Windows Vista and Windows 7) • 10 GB free HD space • NVIDIA® GeForce 6800 or ATI Radeon X800 or better – 256 MB VRAM or more • DirectSound compatible sound card • DVD-ROM Drive • Broadband Internet connection required

PC Minimum System Requirements
• Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit), with the latest Service Packs • Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz / AMD Athlon XP 3000+ • 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM with Windows Vista and Windows 7) • 5 GB free HD space • NVIDIA® GeForce FX 5700 series / ATI Radeon 9600 series / Intel Integrated GMA 950 or equivalent –128 MB VRAM and latest video drivers • PC audio solution containing Dolby® Digital Live required for Dolby® Digital audio • DVD-ROM Drive • Broadband Internet connection required

I will emphasise though that this is an MMO designed for 8-year-olds up, so while it is fun to play, it does have its limitations. But it's also great that my six-year-old and four-year-old can play it together, and I can play it as well. We're just appreciating different things. They always rush to the shops to buy new gear on looks alone, I'm carefully making purchases for the best buffs.

Beta movies all over the place. People are breaking the NDA just for kicks. I'm not watching anything. Beta's are buggy, don't want to see that stuff. I'll wait for some proper reviews.

The Beta game times are usually around the weekend. It tells you on the loading screen (I think). Will check later and confirm.
