its especially amazing if you get in early and have a chance to really shape the direction a game heads

Im just saying its nice to feel like you have a part in the development of a game, finding bugs, giving feedback, seeing what happens

i enjoy that

only beta [for a new game] in which I've ever participated was wow. Hated it. But because of the game, not the beta testing.

I did beta SI way back when. That sucked because of my computer, but I enjoyed it.

That's it for game betas

Only game I ever got a beta invite for was DAoC's catacombs expansion. Oh, and Planetside. I never get invited to any other betas unless they are open betas for stress test ><

and [can't make the symbol work... but...] pi with a long e sound as "pee" but we're too immature to pronounce it that way.

There was a time, when I was like, "OMGZ! Beta! Got to get in!". Now I don't have time to play the retail game!

I've only been part of a few beta's for big name games, and in all honesty I think it turned me away from the game anymore. WoW is the only game after doing the beta I actually considered playing full time.

Milk, your post hurts my face.



I used to apply for every beta "like oh my gosh how cool is it to say I was in beta?!" Then I grewup or mellowed out, take your pick and only applied for beta for games i was intersted in. Mostly for

A) a free game to try out

B) to see if I liked the game before buying it

C) feel like I helped in developing the direction of the game


That's about my priority order too.
