This 6 months or so playing before an actual retail is going to be bad in the end.
By the time they hit commercial (if they make it that far) everyone is going to be burnt out on the game and simply move on to the new ones by than. 6 months is the average holding rate of a half decent mmorpg. People will be paying a very reduced fee to play, right? They will be so used to it and than they will be slapped with full commercial rates after all those months... It would be even worse if they gave the access completely for free..

lol are you serious? do you actually know whats going on with sog? do you even know what its about?
try reading up on sog a bit and you will find that its not the full version of the game.
actually its only 2 kingdom's (at the start at least)
and to sugest that the only people that will ever play the finished game will all be in beta is funny....your a brite one thats for sure
yep all games should shut down their beta right now because people will get burnt on it before release......LOL comedy
read this http://www.vanguardsoh.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1044304#post1044304 then come back and talk to me about the vanguard/soe fiasco.....
I disagree, for what they say you will be able to do in the game I personally will play for more than 6 months. They say its a strenuous stress test and they are making it free to see if the can handle the load, right? They stress that players or guilds, or which ever will be able to control reigons of the actually game world. To hear that is a big boost and intrest. No to mention that the graphics aren't too shabby.
You are looking at it all wrong 6 months maybe be shorter than you think it is long, and who knows they may but it out ealier ithan they hoped.

Please go read up on what SoG really is and then come post here again.
PS. Why keep changing nicks, its already been proven who you are.
Serioulsy, do some reading, then give it a thought or two... compare to other mmorpgs, do some more thinking and, then, post here again.
I'm just going to point out one thing for you: DnL will vastly improve SoG, and not only by pure geographic size...

When in doubt, troll.
Hey this will give the game a fair and open chance to succeed or fall flat on it's butt. No more hype, no more BS, no more unsubstantiated flames. I hope it succeeds myself, but time will tell I guess.
I miss DAoC
sutter, it wasnt the release date. They said that that was the tentive date when the world would come online. We speclated and came to the conclusion that since they specify release, then it would involve something like an open beta. And sure enough here it is.
o cool I understand now mmorpg.com was just pulling my leg with the old
Upcoming releases:
Dark and Light 11-5-05
my bad I've always been sort of bad at reading between the lines
I cant wait to get into SoG if I can get a key. I will be happy to see what i am infor in to april release.
And I have no clue why some one would say the standing time for a good MMO is 6 months. How could one get burned out on a game that is one step above Beta one step from Release. I love the fact we get to help Mold the game itself just by playing SoG.
SO GL to all those that are looking to get there hands on a SoG key.
There are no SoG keys, SoG is availible to everyone.
The keys you are talking about are D&L pre-order keys, there are a limited number of them, that is the pre-order of Dark and Light, being released in April '06.
But SoG is availible to everyone, it says this in the Answers to Settlers of Ganareth thread in the general forum.
One dead man, a tragedy. One-million dead men, a statistic.
wow jenangless disappears for a few weeks while this other person turkeybound says the same thing. And now that turkeybound was getting his arse handed to him by the loving fans of DnL and those of the nuetral party he must fall back to one of his older names to keep the trolling alive.
Just stop while your ahead.
