There is no NDA agreement for CBT3, expect lots of vids and reviews.

    A good sign b/c it means they are confident in the game. :)

    Honestly I wish more games were this transparent about where they in developement. There have a been a few games in the past that were released in a state that isn't even fitting of a closed beta let alone an open beta phase (cough ffxiv). So for XL games to be so upfront about how things are is something I hope other developers use in the future. Even GW2 has about the same or less known about it than this game and it's supposed to be released this year. Granted these are two drastically different games from what we know at this point. I use GW2 as an example because besides AA it's the only other game I'm looking forward to.

    yea, only that information is not yet final - info from xlgames.

    So, they might put an NDA the last day before the CBT3. 

     

    But lets hope.

    No surprise. Sites over there threaten companies with a lack of coverage if they decide to place a NDA in their games. Wish sites over here were half as ballsy, because companies need websites to cover their games, not the other way around.

    YES, now we can watch all the  videos, screenshots, read reviews... that otherwise we couldn't because of  NDA. I hope they don't change their mind.

    Played: SWG-FFXI-EQ2-Aion

    Anticipated in order of Hype:
    ArcheAge
    GW2
    TERA
    SWTOR

    Not enough info, but looks promising:
    Blade & Soul

    Amazingly confident move to not have a NDA.

    I'm confused as to your point? The OP points out facts concerning NDA which means that the focus was not on playing the beta but the information that will be released by those who do.  Get'cha head in the game

    There will be those that don't even speak Korean playing CBT3 because they are invited by XLGames to participate.  Those will be the most likely candidates to feed us up to date reviews, videos and pics.  At least I hope they remember once they are in game. image

    XLGames is either brilliant or incredibly lucky.  Obviously they would not put too much into advertising for NA/EU since the game wont be released in those regions for about a year.  In fact NA does not even have a publisher yet.  Oh, they are talking to at least one to be sure and in negotiations...

    How would XLGames kill those two birds with one stone?


    1. Have a great product.  If one has seen the videos and read the interviews they know this is a good, quality product.

    2. Release as much info leading up to CBT3 as possible to get a buzz going.  They have done this with the help of fans who have waited for a game like this and fansites that are on the ball sending the info down the line.

    3. Have no NDA to their CBT3 allowing an untold number of videos, screenshots and reviews.  This will not only validate their game (see #1) but will also grow the hype surrounding it.  Word of mouth and the interwebs will have done the marketing for them.

    Marketing monies have been saved for development and negotiations with worldwide distributors will get AA the best company possible.  Will AA be marketed in NA/EU? I would assume so but every dollar used for developing the better.

    Just not worth my time anymore.

    They recently signed their China publisher deal and got $60 million more... I'm sure money is no problem xD
