I don't think so. As another posted said, Why would they have you beta and find bugs in a client which they aren't planning on using? It's not like they are going to debug this version and not debug the release version. Makes no sense to me
that is what i don't understand
Keen and his horrible little website are pretty sad, mainly because they blame a game for their own lack of computing power. It doesn't help that he has no idea how a mmorpg is and should be, and that no mmorpg on launch comes out fully polished and up to snuff with a game such as wow or eq2 who has had years to fine tune and polish their game.
Anyone who goes into a PVP/PVE mmorpg thinking combat and quests are going to completely different then anything ever done in a mmo is.. well I don't want to get banned again so i'll let you fill that part in. It's just sad that people believe and hype themselves up to think any mmorpg is going to be some sort of godsend with no issues on launch. It is a very tough and demanding thing to polish a mmorpg, and polish almost always comes AFTER a mmo is launched.
so, to end this silly rant, Anyone who goes into a launch of an mmo to expect a perfectly polished pve/pvp game with no issues with crashing/slowdowns was obviously grainfed world of warcraft.
Maybe they should charge less at launch till they fix the bugs crashing/slowdowns then? Just a thought, but if i m hungry and some1 sells me half a sandwich its normal i only pay half the price right?
