I didn't get one this time.

I was in the last one, and all my friends who were in the last one got one, most of my friends who WEREN'T in the last one, got one, but I didn't.

Does this mean I dont get in, or just that I dont get to give an invite to someone else?

When I look at my account, it has "Beta access" attached to Elder scrolls online in my purchased games.

I in fact even tried one of the friend codes my friends got to give people, and it said it was invalid, which just leaves me confused.

So yeah, question is: Why didn't I get an invite email, and is there a chance I'll get in anyway?

If you were in before, you're in this one. Try logging on to the beta forum, if you can log in there, then you're in this beta test.

I haven't got my email yet either, but know I will be playing this weekend because I can log in to the beta forum.

As far as i remember, the last beta invite stated if you take part then youll get to play in the following ones as well(and be able to continue with the same character). No idea why you didn't get an email this time, but i bet you will be able to access the next beta just fine.

You might get it later, everyone who were in last beta will be invited again, is my understanding.

Well, after a small amount of confusion, I just managed to post in the beta forum, still not quite feeling safe yet, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

You're fine, access to the beta forum is restricted to those taking part in the beta. If you're in there, you'll be able to play on Friday (barring some natural disaster that wipes out your internet or somesuch).

It works like this every time, sometimes I don't get my email for more than 24 hours after being able to log in to the beta forum. I haven't got my email for this beta yet, so you're not alone.
