people who played on the test server for a certain amount of time got the beta hat, so she probably did that and idnt realize that the hat was the reward for it.

What they did was see if you played more than (Whatever the time was) that they set and if they did they gave a beta cap to every character you had created at the time. So I have 4 or 5 beta caps on my account.

Beta Caps are Tradable, either someone sold/gave it to her or she bought it at th Marketplace.

It could also be that someone created a new character on QA whose name was later taken on one of the Live servers by this trial player. The beta caps were awarded to Live character names which matched the list of QA names with more than an hour of playtime. However, the QA server and the Live servers have two different authentication servers, so it's possible to claim a name on QA that's taken on Live (like "Void" for example).

Prolly just got it from someone or off the marketplace. :/


I deleted my beta clothing on syntax a long time ago, because it was taking room in my inventory.


 


but then they implemented the email thing. SMILEY
