Say, you want in on the Closed Beta action?

As of right now, if a person wanted into World of Warships during the remaining Closed Beta period, there are at least three options I know of.

1. Look for those players who have the "inside track" and give out Invite Codes through their Twitch streams (yeah, I have better things to do than wait on a lottery system, thanks but moving on.......).

2. A interested party could go here http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/pre-order-bundles-cbt-access/ and spend some real world money to "buy their way in" ( I picked up two packages myself, but only after I was invited back from being a Beta Weekend Tester, so I wasd already in when I did this).

3. For a very limited time, a person could "buy into" Ships, from a different angle. During the E3 event, Humble Bundle is almost giving away access (stressing the word "almost") and here is how you could do it, if you are still interested.

Step 1, go here https://www.humblebundle.com/twitche3#t and create an account in the upper right hand corner (the onscreen instructions will walk you through this process). Once that is done, return to the linked page and click the green "Pay What You Want!" button. With the many amount options, pick one that best suits your budget (I selected the "Custom Amount" option and parted with $2.00). Follow the onscreen instructions to be sure the purchase was made properly and where the codes will be going to.

Step 2. Open the email account used to create the Humble Bundle account. Click through untill you find something like this....

Step 3. Click the link to go here and scroll down....

Step 4. Copy the Closed Beta Key and go here http://worldofwarships.com/?utm_source=global-nav&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=wgni click "Activate Invite Code" and paste that into the box given (logging into an existing WarGaming account or creating a new one will be required).

Step 5. Copy the Bonus Content code and go here https://na.wargaming.net/shop/bonus/ and paste that into the box.

If all 5 steps were followed not only would a person now have access to Ships, but they would also collect a tier V premium Soviet Cruiser, Murmansk and 1000 tokens/dubloons for when Open Beta starts!

Well, there is one more option, for those who just flatout refuse to part with any money or wasting their time on handouts. I hear free access to Open Beta might be right around the corner. Then again, who really knows (or can say), for sure.
