As mentioned last week, the Pottermore Insider blog has now been updated to answer frequently asked questions that Pottermore beta users have been asking. Concerns dealing with the potions brewing, wizards duelling, and moderation for common room comments are all addressed.
Additionally, the Insider reveals that a Pottermore beta survey will be sent out in a few weeks to those who have already gained entry into the site and will allow fans to provide more specific feedback.
'...It'd be nice to know IF Wizard Dueling will be available to beta testers again. I don't care when, just a yes or not.' [sic] - cwbrumm
Yes! We know that you like Wizard’s Duel - a lot.
This section of the site has proven to be immensely popular and we’ve
been making a number of improvements behind the scenes to ensure that it
runs as smoothly as possible. We just need to finish making and testing
our changes.

Since I got in on Day 6, I know that I’ll be in way later..still I can’t help but check on insider all the time and the news feed to see when a new batch of emails are sent out. The sooner they let more people in, the closer I’ll be to getting in. The wait though is crazy hard and I can’t wait for my email. The good news about this though is that at least a lot of the bugs will should be fixed by the time I get my welcome email.. at the same time, I’d rather experience the bugs and joys of being on PM rather than waiting for my welcome email.

@ MagicalMe – me too. I also wish they gave us more details about the “pause” period. Oh well. I’m still waiting for my email as well.
Anyone have an updated student count??
@roonwit – the student count has dropped? I guess that means either people are cancelling their accounts, PM is deleting the accounts of people cheating or those that have 2 beta accounts. I was kind of hoping that there would be a big increase to indicate that another large batch was allowed in.

I can’t believe I am still waiting for an e-mail! At this rate, most people probably won’t get in until October! This was supposed to be an early access thing to help build the experience, but what will we be able to do a couple of weeks (or days) before it’s open to everyone. I really hope e-mails start coming soon. Getting in early certainly doesn’t seem quite as fantastic as it was built up to be. Particularly seeing as early access started almost 2 months ago and most people still haven’t gotten in.
Here’s hoping I get in before October at least!
We did know about the beta survey from an earlier Insider post, the new bit of information is that we will be able to make proper comments rather than just ticking boxes.
