    MMOG developers need to stop doing this and start doing large scale, free closed beta testing a lot earlier and for a lot longer prior to release, and they definitely need to stop using beta access as a pre-order promotion FFS...

    I pre-ordered Champions and canceled it before the day it came out, so i could access the beta (if it was any good of I would of subbed). So I may do that to this game, it does look rather promising although I havn't read mcuh about it.

    Is that  a cash shop mmorpg or what?  I noticed nearly all of these "F2P" mmorpgs go from closed beta to open beta to release in a couple months at most.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    i honestly have no idea what this game is other then its an mmo the website doesnt really give any info and i had to be selected to beta test but thats what im saying i need to start this game up and see since i recieved the client 1 gig and i got a beta key so i have no idea why they would want me to buy a game that hasnt even been tested yet

    No you have to pay for the client and it's listed as a P2P game...
