After processing the applications we have received from the players who had been guaranteed a beta slot and those that we so far have received from players who had been placed on the backup list, we have determined that there will be enough room in the beta for us to open up applications more widely.

If you are interested in submitting an application for the beta period (requirements for being accepted are listed within the application file), please contact us at and we will send you further instructions.

The deadline for submitting an application is September 20th, and applications will be dealt with on a first come, first serve basis. The limit is 60 characters, ideally 30 male and 30 female, though we will allow a deviation of +/- 10 either way.

Those characters already spoken for are listed here: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?showtopic=11975
