Is there a beta orther then SOG? I cannot find a forum about the real game, or is SOG the real game?

HAH! Thats the million dollar question of the century there Torchwood.
You see, the devs tell us SOG is a standalone game that has nothing to do with DNL but is just a freebie for the fans to play while the real game is being magically produced behind closed doors.
The old beta testers for DNL say that they were testing SOG as it is now .
The devs tell us also that its a beta for DNL, oh no its not silly ppl, its not a Beta, bah! yes it is!, gah! no its not!
The devs tell us SOG has nothing to do with DNL but cant decide which screenshots go with which game SOG or DNL.
The devs tell us SOG has nothing to do with DNL but SOG has helped them "fix" problems in DNL.
The devs tell us SOG has nothing to do with DNL but the beastiary, skills, characters, npc, and the rest are indeed for DNL so what you see in SOG isnt really there cuz its not supposed to be cuz SOG isnt DNL so ignore it all. (not hard to ignore anyway when most of it aint there and wont be)
The devs tell us there is a - magically full featured working stable fantastic content filled graphics blowout profession and trade filled plethora of npc customizable and friend UI interface customizable character with soo many options it would make your head spin - that altho contains all of what you see and get in SOG (without of course the no content, outdated graphics, unstable servers, no trade, skills messed up, spells make ya crash, pets make ya crash, mobs make ya crash, loggin in makes you crash,moving makes ya crash, awkward UI, no quests, no npcs as it is now) that has nothing to do with SOG - is waiting in the wings for a never before fully tested save the world release - its so perfect it doesnt need months of beta testing and stress testing! - and any problems after you buy it of course will be fixed and any content or necessary things that the nitpicky complaining hatebois find will be taken care of (after we wait a substantial amount of time in order to weed them out and have only ppl who loves us like a cult and will follow us around and do anything we wish - hmm- they are slacking however, never did get the group to go around airports and hand out flowers yet) - all to be beautifully rendered and immaculate within 2 - 5 years of the release date-promise!
In summary -- SOG =DNL but they will deny till their dying day.

SoG is what the beta testers were testing before it was released to the public, they was not testing DnL, none of the beta testers have ever seen this so called miracle build.

Never said that SoG was or wasn't like a previous closed beta (read the post again). There is an internal beta going on atm involving the devs and a select group.
I personally don't know what this means as far as what quality we will see at release, but I'll reserve my judgement until then, as always.
Well I am going to judge now from what I have seen and stay away. Looking at their forum, their post and statements. They lie alot. Not just the, things have changed type thing, but out right lies. Seems like it has been going on a exteme amount of time also.
That whole Internal Beta sounds more like development then testing. They noticed how unhappy people are with SOG so they started working on another game?

half correct.
Beta testers were testing what was called DNL which turned out to be SOG but the company is denying that too. Family member was one of the original beta testers (which farlan claims is still under NDA but the beta has been terminated and the original testers need to "re-apply" in order to come back into it but farlan seems to think that they can uphold the NDA on it) Since I am not an original beta tester I am under no NDA and can say that the testers were testing what was called DNL,which turned out to be exactly what SOG is, with the same problems, same bugs, same everything(and which they are now trying to pin the blame on the OMFG! what kinda crap is this?? on the original beta testers btw for not "finding" the problems) which they tried to hold off the bs surrounding the beta testing being terminated at the release of SOG of which they stated themselves, then denied, then later admitted to. If you check their forums however, they still have mods/devs who throw out that a beta is ongoing and hasnt stopped, which isnt true but they will certainly allow infering and implying to that effect.
oh gosh, i bet this will anger them! I cant be thrown out by their mods/devs here at this forum. Oh gee, they cant delete this thread either! oh my! they cant lock it either! sorry but sometimes the truth just hurts too much. doh!
I am starting to believe that.
As pioneers we were supposed to have built cities, established politics, crafting, etc. etc.
We were unable for a variety of reasons the main of which the game never worked correctly along with not enough players, along with pointless and unsuccessful events, and the list continues.
It appears now that DNL will continue this saga of nothing really in the game and it is up to the players to come up with content,mechanics, gameplay, points of interest, etc etc.
This is truly a bad bad idea. And yet another promise broken
Gotta agree here. Farlan will make a last ditch lame ass effort to get something established before release.Then they willcome out with the golden "we meant it to work this way" excuse they have tried on every other lame ass thing they have tried to pull off. Oh! popcorn time!!
