speechless here.. Meh, not going to say another word... just had to.

ot: I don't think it was leaked on purpose, since the one thing you could rip out was the music + some screenshots.. And the music wasn't even the real deal - it was awesome, though..

Or just go to your brick and mortar or internet retailer of choice and purchase Station game cards. They're not just for kids w/o credit cards...

Haha, this whole thing makes me laugh.

Betas are to gamers as a full moons are to werewolves.

Deep breaths, deep breaths, it will all be here soon enough.

You can rip a whole lot more than that out. Still id rather just wait for the real thing haha, as enjoyable as reading is, nothing beats playing.

Hamma, when someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!

Really, you guys are funny. This was done to generate hype, Im 110% sure that higby and the rest knew about this weather you choose to believe it or not. BF3 did it, MW did it.. its all part of the marketing plan. Open your eyes.

Not at all unbelievable. Just a trivial thing to debate whether or not it was intentional (y'know, it almost seems like I said that already ).

I don't believe it to be a very smart move on a company's part to fake a leakage of information from your network when you had an actual break-in to your network a year before....

It's not. That's just silly talk.

We'll all be glad once they release their official statement. These rumors, speculations, and overall shenanigans are getting to all of our heads. It doesn't help that everyone involved in pre-beta testing has to follow their NDA and futher keep us in the dark.

SOON ENOUGH!

Anticipation building for beta and then boom - someone downloads the client and starts ripping shit taking away the great experiences someone could have had opening the game for the first time.

I already had these experiences and I'm disappointed that someone else won't get them because they decided to look at ripped content.

If there is one thing I feel comfort in about all this it's the fact it did not originate from this community.

Folks who don't want to see the stuff until beta (or later) don't actually have to read the threads / reddit posts / etc revealing stuff (and jumping to conclusions, apparently, in some cases). I haven't downloaded the music, or looked at any of it, except for looking at and posting in the one thread I just posted in a few minutes ago because apparently people think Jumping To Conclusions Is Fun For the Whole Family!

I can understand what you're saying from a forum moderator perspective, such as yourself, as you have to know what people are posting on your forums in order to enforce your rules, but the rest of us plebians don't have that responsibility here (or on reddit, which I usually ignore) and are free to just avoid all the spoilers, and honestly, I prefer not having to read everything, spoilers included. I've seen it from the other side, and it's less than enjoyable.

Side note: Modifying the ini file in question (and figuring out the appropriate values to put into it) to make the SoE launchpad application download the PS2 client instead of DCUO is something that I would consider on the same scale of difficulty as SQL injection, which comprises much of the "hacking" that you hear about in the news. So while at first I would have said "Editing an ini file? Not hacking, lol" - after thinking a moment, it clearly can be.

To all of you thinking SOE is the same department of PSN, your half correct.
The planetside 2 dev team is just one part of SOE, kinda like PSN is one part of SOE.

Just clarifyin'
