I see a ton of people have beta'd a ton of games on this site including myself. I was just wondering what percentage (rough estimate) of the games that people beta'd, that they also purchased and played at least for a little while.
I know that myself, I only played 2 games at release out of the 7 that I have beta'd.
Beta'd: Neocron, Planetside, ShadowBane, Horizons, City of Heros, Saga of Ryzom, Lineage II
Played: EQ, Shadowbane, DAoC, SWG, Anarchy Online, Asherson's Call 2. Earth and Beyond
Playing: City of Heros
Beta'd: Neocron, Planetside, ShadowBane, Horizons, City of Heros, Saga of Ryzom, Lineage II, WoW Stress Test
Played: EQ, Shadowbane, DAoC, SWG, Anarchy Online, Asherson's Call 2. Earth and Beyond, City of Heros, EQ
Playing: WAITING FOR WOW and EQ 2

I have done beta for so many.. Yikes.. Verry few get out of that lvl for me. CoH is the only one so far that I have done a long term beta for and then bought.
With so much out there I guess I have gotten picky..
DAoC i was in it from beta 2 i think and went on to retail and play for about a year.
UO went on to play for over a year.
CoH short beta but went on to buy it.
AC2 only betaed for 4 days or so and went on to buy and play for a couple of months.
Ao was there for last 3 days of open beta and bought retail.Did 2 months there.
Games i betaed and never gone bought- eve online,lineage2.Sure i am missing a few but heck.
Games i would not be buying retail but tried the beta - saga of ryzom.
Games i wished i beta tested and would not have bought if i did FFXI,shadowbane.
I've beta'd games for so long, i can't even remember how many really...But i've bought prolly like 4 or 5 maibee more.
The only three I can think of off the bat are Shattered Galaxy, Redmoon, and Ragnarok. THose are my three favorites and prolly the only ones I would pay to play again (SG I'm still paying to play XD)
