I can't help thinking that GeneralVega is awesome. That is some seriously dedicated trolling. 3 YEARS?! wow, even i got bored of being a dick online within the first few months of discovering the internet as a kid... and my sense of humor is pretty low-brow.
At least i know whose name to steal on Day-1! hahah |

I haven't seen a major MMO carry over beta characters in a long time. Doing so would also mean that you have players working to advance themselves during beta and not trying out different parts of the game and giving feedback.
It also destroys some of the value in early-access for special editions and pre-orders and what not. That's the strongest motivator in getting people to buy early and order special editions. And then there's the fairness factor of people who didn't get into beta feeling cheesed out of advancement time because they weren't in beta and want a fair shake. Early access is early access to anyone who pays and so that's a fair shake. Beta rollover is not a fair shake. There's 3 good reasons why a game company shouldn't do beta character rollover. They hurt themselves and the game by doing so. |

There's also the concept that during beta cert training may be exponentially faster just to see results we'd otherwise wouldn't see until years later. They'll want to wipe those characters.
As for early access? That works in MMORPGs with PvE mobs as it spreads the pre-release and release crowds out, so it's not one massive cluster-**** on launch day but for PS2... that's precisely what we want. I can't see an early release helping PS2 over a standard launch. Where PS is concerned, the more people there are on day 1+, the better. |

Which kind of just goes back to this point:
With Global Agenda they gave us a forum tag for being Alpha/Beta testers, and that was alright, though it did lead to use of said tag to try and reinforce ones argument. What would you propose that testers get? |

It's less about the beta peen (tho, that is sexy) and more about calling BS on people trying to play the "I was in beta so I'm clearly an expert" card. I don't remember any of the tagged testers in GA doing that but I left the forums after the first few months of live.

I'm convinced that some douche is running around buying games on Day 1 just to take my name even though he doesn't use it....just because I called him out for being a douche. So im changing my name... to WarChimp130 |
