Exactly and we are like a bunch of spoilt kids hehe!

Anyway, if you look at the way SOE have released content, its in a very structured way, no full size screenshots on Twitter and all the other stuff has a structure and it is making its way through the list. Expect a few more weeks, then a few more after that for Rexo and Max weeks, then the shit hits the fan!

And if you think im wrong, it would be a very bad and school boy error on SOE's behalf to not use the Max and Rexo's to hype the game to the max, as these are 2 big factors of the game we all want to see!

But be assured when we do see the Rexo's and maxes beta is right round the corner!

What kinda developer, in their right minds, show absolutely everything there is to know and see, even before launch?
I mean, come on. Just because you haven't seen X, there's no guarantee that X isn't completed yet.

Guys I understand with many of your concerns here, but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Why!? No! PS1 Explusive Beta ran very good.

Not every Beta must be a real Alpha Version

You need no hype for a closed/explusive Beta which is for testing of mechanics and optimizing.
If they need to improve mechanics/gameplay and optimize the game for 2 or 3 Month in a closed Beta while they hyped the Game, it would be hard to keep the Hype going.
Better start the Hype with an Open Beta...

just my 2 Cents

...oh well YEEEEEEEAAHAHHHH OH YEAAAAAHHHH! YEAAAH! Yes! WHOOO YEAAAH!

[UnknownDT]

I have been so excited for this game....I might go crazy between now and the actual start of beta if it's any longer lmao.

I need to post here more though... I am such a lurker lol.

Just news in general is so exciting. Can't wait to test this game with DT and work out all the kinks and make this an epic game!

I just had sex with my GF, because of this news.

EDIT: The right one.

I think we need to calm our tits and be more realistic about the GDC hype.

Opening the beta before the show would force EVERYONE to work double-time to both prepare for GDC AND fix any stability issues. They won't risk a catastrophic failure of some kind by a flood of people clambering to play when the press is watching. What if the servers go down due to too much load or a netcode glitch? It's like advertising a super low-emission engine and then watching it billow black smoke on start-up. If their goal is to show how massive battles work, they'll let a hundred or two or so people in specifically to to break the current build in some fashion (if this isn't already happening).

ill get excited when i get an email with a beta key inside.

and every day before i go to bed i repeat in my head over and over: stay calm, stay calm...

[Tigersmith]

Dont get your hopes up guys. I can see this beta starting easily 1-2 months away. Just be patient.
