I know full well that a game on day 01 cannot possibly have all the features of a game with 4 years of life and a expansion but I also know in a very heavy pvp game to wait 6 months will make it alot harder then to deal with life in release of a new mmo
I would rather wait until open beta. That way the game will be finished. I don't want to play a buggy unfinished game. If I wanted to do that I would play AOC
And this is why you should never, never ever get into any beta for any game. You simply want a chance to play the game before release. where those of us that actually try to improve the game tend to get picked for beta's more often then others. You don't want to beta test, you want to take a test drive.

On the flip side you should thank him for stating he would rather wait until Open. He isn't trying to take your beta spot and not much will change in 1 month from Open Beta testers. So in the end, Open Beta will basically be your free glimpse of the game.

This is the kind of person that has no business in beta. Nothing against this poster, but beta testing is not about PLAYING the game, its about TESTING the game. That way when the game goes live, if the developers and the testers did their parts the players will spend more time playing than posting about the problems on forums like these
With that said there has to be BOTH sides working, working together. The testers doing everything they can to find and report the smallest of bugs to the largest of exploits. Then the developers have to take that information and fix those issues.
I've been signed up for well over a year now I'm pretty sure. Still no sign of getting in...
Anyone have any idea when they'l begin the Open beta? Cant be too far off... I'd even pay for a crappy fileplanet subcsription just to get an early taste of the game, im anxious to find out if we've finally got the brilliant MMO were all wanting, rather than Age of Potential.
But that said i'm having alot of fun in Middle Earth right now

OP, according to warhammeronline's beta ticker, 762,013 ppl has applied for beta so far. Of course everyone can't get an invite.
I applied in June 07, and got my invite for the EU beta 2 months later.
