I hope they do a long closed Beta. I hope they offer the active members of this forum a shot at closed Beta Access. I think we have the right crowd in this community to contribute to this game in such a way that it could break the MMO market and capture loads of players. I love 40k and eventually want to write books for Black Library. I consider 40k a major life interest and I know alot of you feel the same. We're basically free professional labor because we love it. PLEASE USE US!!! More is better where imagination and collaboration meet the drawing board. If you limit this project to a small number of minds it's going to be small minded. I'd even sign legal paperwork holding me liable for information leaks. I just really want to see this game done right... very very badly.

Im sure there will be both closed and open Betas and maybe even an Alpha for certain people. Other big MMO's have had closed access Betas and occasionaly Alphas for dedicated fan groups and guilds.

I have to say though closed Betas arent really for playing the game they are more for stress testing and targeted bug/glitch finding. From personal experience I dont ever want to do another closed beta (unless I get free in game Epeenery when the proper launch happens) test again.

This, but I believe most understand that. I'm more interested in the game being successful, and despite all my "what if" posts, I'll be happy unless they completely screw it up.

I've checked out all (literally) the other DMO communities, and it would seem this one is the best compromise between an actual MMOG and the lore. I'm pretty much the only one here that doesn't know the lore like the back of my hand, but I'm extremely interested in game mechanics and how the setting fits within an MMOG.

All Vigil/THQ really has to do is hook up Lelorelyn and I to a beta and they'll have more feedback than they could read in a lifetime.

Oh sure Gosh, just leave me out of the picture...

Sorry, but they'll already have to dedicate three teams of analysts to siphon our ten thousand words per minute to all the developers.

I think its important to get people in early to Closed beta too. I've been in some in the past and you really do get a feeling that you've helped contribute to the game.

Oh well lets not talk about this for a year! Coz it aint happening sooner!

There are so many things to consider when doing beta invites. That being said it will probably help to be a vocal and active poster on any fan forums.

TBH, I just want to get on a forum where I know developers/community managers actually read the stuff we're posting.

Despite what most people say, some of them actually do value forum feedback. Personally I think its an invaluable source to judge how well players will digest content the developer creates for them.

Oh dont worry. They always start of like this. A small community of dedicated fans who show courtesy to each other.

Then the game gets a bit popular and before you know it......

TROLLOLOLOOL!!!

I consider it a more of an inevitability really. But hey, lets enjoy the peace while it lasts!
