You’ll probably have to wait for the NDA lift to filter down to our Western friends in the US (-6 hours or so) before the internet gets hit with a wave of post NDA WAR information.

Ive been playing in the Closed Beta and most of whats left to do is just balancing and fine tweaks to the game. open beta is just there for mass server stress testing.

“Any bugs, memory leaks, non-optimizations, etc that get found in Open Beta are going to be on the live servers.”

Large studios never, ever, ever get ‘bugs, memory leaks, optimizations, etc’ told to them by random people given beta keys. Ever. Seriously, if they’re using ‘beta’ testers as QA, they’re fucked.

It’s also not an open beta. I’m sorry, but open = anybody can get in, not just anyone who can and wants to drop $50 on an unreleased, unproven game for the privilege. It’s a little more open than the invitation only beta, that’s about it.

Oh well.

They say this Open Beta isn’t a stress test and considering you have to preorder the game to get in, they may be right. It’s not a real beta testing phase either, so it seems to me that the Open Beta is really just a little treat for hardcore fans and an additional incentive to preorder the game.

The phase of finding bugs in an MMO is never over.

My guess is that the phase of finding bugs is closed with the different closed betas theyhad put together. The open beta looks more a stress test than other thing.
