Game Development: Under Pressure

[derlaid]

That's good advice but man, if all those people did quit this game would be dead in the water. Moreso than it already is, anyway.

This game isn't alive to begin with It's in beta. All they need for now is enough people to test out all the mechanics they implement without getting discouraged by any singular mechanic added without considering future mechanics that will complement the former. So imo rather than lose the players right during beta, it'd be better if people judged the game on release. The people that want to play should play, when it's properly playable. The people that want to beta test can keep beta testing, regardless of the number of hoops they have to jump through to do so (Yes, I think the way stuff works and with this number of people, and the amount of both feedback taken into consideration from the community and amount of feedback given back to the community, hinders the smoothness of the whole .. beta test aspect. This beta walks like a game, talks like a game, quacks like a game, a game with a limp. Perhaps that's why people are so confused about wether they're playing or beta testing.)

Screenies, cool. How about a link for that? I can throw pretty pictures around just as well, and with a link too! http://sandboxt.net/sandboxt/page/SandboxMMOGamesList <- That one says Q3. Then again, I've seen a lot of review sites pull release dates out of their ass without really consulting the actual publisher/developers.

Edit: My bad As nice as it would've been if you had included a link, I shouldn't have jumped the horse like that. Checked the paradox site, and I realize your screenshot was from there. I'll abstain from commenting on that further, and just write it off as yet more lack of clarity from the publisher/devs. There should be a big beta sign all over everything just to make it all clear.

I don't remember the thread, but it was stated by TotalyMoo quite some time ago that that Q1 2013 date is wrong and needs to be updated. We're still in beta, not released.

No Key required. Check
No limited access. Check
Cash shop in place and open for months to spend $$$. Check

This small list of items here shows this game is in COMMERCIAL OPEN RELEASE, with a beta tag attached like every other game do now days so they can totally break the system / ***** you over, and have a legal back fall.
