is there NDA for this beta?

I assume there is but I just noticed some of the latest hype-meter posts sound like folks have played the game already.

Anyone have any thoughts? I don't think at this point anyone should have a solid opinion of this game unless there is no NDA or they are not honoring it.

Hello, this is a small update on our current activities:

Since September the 22nd we've been running tests to make sure that Darkfall runs properly on a variety of hardware configurations. Any external people are being selected strictly by their hardware configuration and are selected and let in gradually. Absolutely no other criteria come into play other than hardware. Also, we are not playtesting. If you are selected for this hardware test you will be notified by email to the address associated with your Darkfall community forum account.

Once we've concluded this phase, we will gradually allow more people in based on various other criteria associated with the testing needs. We may not announce the start of every phase. All the testing up to the open beta phase is protected by NDA.

About the Athens Digital Week event, there will be a Darkfall presentation and possibly announcements based on our progress by then. Any information on the ADW site concerning Darfall is currently inaccurate and a placeholder. We're not directly responsible for this content but we've asked for the information to be corrected.

We'll keep you updated on any significant developments.

Thanks for reading.

Hope that answers your question. Also:

Predictably there are several claims of Darkfall Beta participation. We won't be addressing these posts in the future, this is just a general reminder.

We'll state the obvious: the posts we've seen so far on this are bogus and the information contained in them has nothing to do with reality.

Please be very skeptical about subscribing to claims of participation in Darkfall beta. This is a very large community and this kind of disinformation can be exploited only if you're paying attention to it.

And:

We've been running the hardware configuration testing as you know.

We had some issues with our patching system which we've dealt with and now everything is running smoothly. We're patching several times a day and testing various hardware configurations.

There's no playtesting , just some professional testing on the actual servers getting things ready for the rest of us. As you can probably understand we're running full steam with everything and time is very limited but we'll keep you in the loop with these short progress updates.
