Hey guys,
You're getting this e-mail because at some point (possibly a long time ago), you said you were interested in helping us get the word out about NS2. Well, that time has really come now and we could really use all the help we can get.
This is what we really need to communicate to players:
The NS2 playable alpha is coming Monday, July 26th. Anyone that has pre-ordered the Special Edition by then will be able to play on that date forward. After that date, the Special Edition, black armor and first alpha access will no longer be available and the Standard Edition price will increase.
We have a ton of work to do in the next two weeks so it may be especially hard for us to pound the pavement and get the word out. So if you could promote the following screenshots and links when spreading, that would be very helpful (these image URLs can handle any amount of traffic):

If each of you could get a single news site to write about this, make a post on gaming forum talking about what you love about the game (include those screenshots!) or even a tweet or Facebook update about this, it would help us TREMENDOUSLY. If you tweet or FB, I've found that it helps to ask people to "please RT" or "please share".
Please e-mail me if with any questions at charlie@unknownworlds.com. Also feel free to pass on my e-mail address to any bloggers or news sites that might have questions for us.
Thanks so much everyone!
