They are pooled invites of say 2000 once they are gone thats it so first come first served.

Quite a few fixes in the update tonight.

--Fixed IE 7 at downloading practice match

--Fixed IE 7 Plugin Download error

--Adjusted forum theme based on some feedback since the last update. And added some ads.

--Fixed guantlet award VO being mis-ordered

--Fixed an issue in "Game Settings" where your character was changing regardless of whether or not you clicked the save button (overwriting your character). Changes are now only applied if you click save.

--In "Game Settings" you can now click on the blue and red team skins for every character to use those as your default skin (even in non-team games).

--Fixed a number of issues related to binds and cvars not saving properly. Many related to this forum thread. Please post there if you continue to have issues or see new issues.

--Believe we fixed the issues with players having to re-set their sensitivity after every game. Post if this still happens to you.

--Modified the "Vital Stats" on the Player Profile to be more useful

--"Reset Defaults" in "Game Settings" should now reset everything (previously was not unbinding all keys)

--Crosshair icons in "Game Settings" match up accurately with what you have in-game now

--All sliders in the "Game Settings" window now actually show a value of the cvar along with the slider

--Anyone on your "Blocked Players" list now show as red on server lists, and sort to the bottom

--Fixed "Last Played" and Match Times being off by 3 hours

--Fixed Player names truncated on team game scoreboards.

--Fixed spectator "control locked� issue when spectating a player that dies.

--Fixed "friend/training triangle" displaying on dead players/bots.

--Added "shuffle" to the callvote menu.

--Improved 3rd person/death cam camera to lessen the frequency the camera clips or passes through walls.

Thanks again for all of the great feedback.
QUAKE LIVE Team

Coordinated with the open beta will be a stats wipe and pruning of player accounts, however we want to make it as easy as possible for all of you to transition over. On Monday, we will be deleting the player accounts of people that have not played in the last 28 days. If you have played within the past 28 days, you will lose your stats, but will NOT lose your player name, custom settings, profile information, etc.. When the site opens again on Feb. 24th, you will be able to use your current email address and password to login as usual. If you have friends that haven't played recently, but will want to maintain their account, let them know that they should play a game between now an Sunday. After Tuesday, we do not expect to ever completely wipe QUAKE LIVE player stats again.
