From SimsZone.de we can read that EA Germany has started to let German people test The Sims Online. There are 30 places in Germany, so there will be 30 people who can test TSO in Germany. All those who are registered at ElectronicArts.de, can take a chance to participate in the test. All you have to do is sign up with your email address - but your mailing address must be set up in your user profile! The end of the sign-in date is 21 October, and you can sign up - if you live in Germany - right here. 30 people will be picked randomly to test TSO. From this news, we can expect other countries to let groups of people test TSO soon. As we've been told earlier, it appears that EA UK has some discs for testers ready. If you can't wait, then you'll have to ask a friend in the US to obtain the game for you, and then forward the discs to you. The time you can test TSO in Europe is unknown, as the release date in Europe is one month after the US. Because the play test in Europe started later, maybe you'll also get until 2 weeks after the European release. However, that's not confirmed. Whenever there's news, we'll report it.
