People are stupid , thats why they lose accounts due to NDA violations lol.
Heres a few cardinal rules they break:
!) They show screenshots of their own characters, name and all, to strangers.
2) The names they post under on mmorpg.com are the same as their ingame characters or login account names :P
3) They talk about breaking the NDA in-game.
4) Dont know who their friends are and get ratted by someone in their circle of friends out of jelousy.
If a person is halfway intelligent they will never get caught for breaking the NDA.
On the topic of WAR and not beta leaks. I dont think there really is that many people in beta, give it a month or two. Also a good reason for no leaks is the fact WAR devs are pretty looose with the info about the game so whats the point .
DX8 im stealing your sig, it rocks and everything that rox belongs to me. :P
Have there been any Conan leaks? Is there even anything in that game TO leak? Seeing as how 3/4 of the game isn't even implemented... lol. Wasted all that time on tweaking the nude models, no doubt.
No.. no leaks, because there is noone in Beta... just funcom staff and family, and that 3 month before release.
However, the beta application is up since April, i really wonder when they will start beta, and if the really release it 30. Oct. or push it back another year. But is it even possible now? Sometimes i am a little worried about it. But well, we will see how it turns out in 3 month.
And about the guy how said WAR will fail.. i guess you are far away from reality. However WAR will be as a game, good or bad, but it will have most problably the most subscriber in US/EU since WoW. Just look around you, watch the fanboys, see the hype.
Yeah, it is maybe like WoW(+DAoC), but WoW is the most successful mmo.
lets say im in WAR beta...AND that i want to talk about it whats holding me to fake my ip and start talking about it on a random forum?
Nothing, but, most people who are smart enough to do this and get away with it, wouldn't
Any major news source that can release this info fast, like this site, would ban and delete the post right away, also noone would know if the person is telling the truth. I am sure there are lots of private forums out there with info already but how to find it unless you know someone?
Still you have to remember, barely any invites have gone out. More people = more leakers. They are being very careful.

This is off topic to the subject of the thread sorry. How do you mask/change your IP do you use a proxy server? Or proxy browser like "proxify"? I've tried these but they seem so SLOW. Is there anything really good out there (and no im not looking to break NDA lol)
i dont know why there is lack of beta leaks, but to me thats a good thing or it could be a bad thing. people probably care enough that they dont want to devulge the wrong info or give people the wrong impression. Secondly they dont want their account banned on the site they are posting (which is sensible considering the forums rules of this site and many others are within realm of being a suitable and understandable punishment). i personally respect any site that enforces a NDA rule for game betas.
Could be any of these. if I was in the beta, frankly I wouldn't want to give out info on features that I am not sure are permanent. It's not fair to the players, its not fair to the dev's who are working their butt off and its not fair to the people who although are looking forward to info, I think people who are interested this game should be properly imformed at the right time,This vital info should be given by the devs themselves, not beta players who arent " in the know" about where the game is heading or how it is constructed or coded. thats just my take on things.

Or it could be that not many people are in the beta yet....Or the type of people in the beta are unlikely to be those which will break NDA's.
For example if you in on a guild invite you arn't likely to be breaking NDA, as if found out, not only you, but your guild will probably be kicked out....not good...
I'm saying that usually when thereis very little beta info special when there is NDA leaks it usually means people are having fun, or people aren't having fun. How the F would anyone know who said what on the internet. The clear sign that thereis absolutely 0 discussion about the game is a sign that a lot people who are playing in beta right now are not even that excited enough to leak little snippets. NDA is for people who don't know how to operate the hype machine. When you get the proper beta crew in your test you will see a total different dynamic output of hype generated online.
So either the 2 possibilties are this
1. no one is actaully playing there beta accounts because of boredom
2. the testers they have in the game don't have a clue to how beta testing works when it comes to generating hype.
What are they going to leak? Most of the systems that are implemented are already known. Only thing they could leak is a detailed ability list as it is right now, however since it may very well change in a month, it's a waste of time.
No seriously, can you come up with any info that a potential beta tester could leak that isn't alreay known?
too bored to bother leaking? are you serious? forum-goers like nothing better then flaming.... if the game sucked people would gladly risk losing a beta key for a crappy game to flame the hell out of the game.
The forum where I got the info I put in the OP is from a private forum that is famous for beta leaks.. they do not delete beta leak threads. Also I can just about guarantee that the person who made the statement I quoted is really in beta.. this was not a random post by some kiddie.. it was from a place where the information is generally very reliable...
no I wont share where... like I said its a private forum.

Well, that is just assumption.
I am beta testing for a well-hyped game right now and not enjoying it at all to be honest, but I'm not roaming the forums flaming the game. And I know quite a few people who are acting the very same way. People might just stick to their NDA, you know.
Of course it's highly probable WAR beta testers might be having loads of fun, but I say always give the benefit of a doubt when it comes to humankind. They have an impressive resumé when it comes to surprises

Well since War won't be out until 2nd quarter 2008, you can bet there are very few beta testors, hence the chance for any leaks is very small.
At this point in time any beta leaks will probably change by the time it is released anyways so who cares.
list of things that someone could leak:
the game is good
the game sucks
the game is buggy
the game is highly polished
most features are already in
half the features have not yet been implemented
the game plays too much like game "x"
the game is much different from game "x"
too bored to bother leaking? are you serious? forum-goers like nothing better then flaming.... if the game sucked people would gladly risk losing a beta key for a crappy game to flame the hell out of the game.
