Obviously, like many others, I was a bit disappointed when I read "somewhere" that it appears PS2 is a 2013 release. However, unless SOE are evil beyond belief, the fact that there is more and more beta release build up can only mean that it is coming soon which leaves us with a long time in beta before release. In my opinion this is a perfect solution for all because:
- We get to play the game.
- Game gets fully tested
- Generates hype for the game
- Can point to "only in beta" if massive grievances come up
The biggest thing here is that (as far as I know) there will be a form of microtransaction system in place and the game is destined to be F2P anyway. This mean that SOE not only aren't losing any money through people playing the free beta and ignoring release, but also should have a fairly nice source of income (presuming the beta is fairly large).
Roll on beta!
