    Yes.

    Note that any Gold you buy on our website during the Closed Beta will be credited to you once more if the servers are wiped during or at the end of the Closed Beta Test. This also applies to all relevant Founder’s items and benefits.

    Paying to beta a game that will be free to play...
    Scary stuff.

    Why does the disclaimer say "if" the servers are wiped after beta instead of "when"?

    Invite? 
    There aren't invites. Anyone who has a founder pack can play.

    I dont think I will be buying into Early Access / Beta / Alpha / pre-Alpha / etc. anymore.

    I am not a big fan of this business practice.


    This one is worth buying : )

    I never pay for unfinished untested product.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    actually this business practice is ALOT Better than having (for example) EA up your ass, eg a big publisher who tells you when you have to release what.

    I'll take the glasses rather ever pay for an Alpha or Beta invite/access.

    Neither is acceptable to me.

    I'll be in on Wednesday! Pumped!

    Ive been waiting some time for Albion already.
    The ability to play it under nearly all OS's makes it heavy attractive.
    If its as good as the new Devilian, it has a chance to make me spend time into it :)
    My money went to ArcheAge and StarCitizen this year, so ill gladly wait until its released.

  • MukeMuke Member RarePosts: 2,614
    I'll wait till 6 months after release to see the unbiased non-fanboy reviews to see if this game promises potential.

    I remember 10-15 years ago, it was perfectly normal to purchase only finished products. I liked it and think I am gonna stick with that for now.

    Nah, that was never the case. MMO's were almost always buggy half-finished rushed releases.
  • olepiolepi Member EpicPosts: 3,053
    I would gladly help test their game, but there's no way I'll pay any money to get early access.

    No

    Only top down games I am looking foward to are Lost Ark and Lineage Eternal. 
  • XarkoXarko Member EpicPosts: 1,180
    No. Im happy to test games. I actually find it fun to look for bugs and report them. Im not going to pay someone to help him finish his product though.
  • GiffenGiffen Member UncommonPosts: 276
    I can't stand the top down view. That went out in 1998 in UO's hayday. So no, I won't be playing this game.

    Not really. $30 is a drop in the bucket compared to some game purchases, and there is still no guarantee if you're going to like them or not. How many perorders do people get involved in just because of promotional items only to find they didn't like the game to begin with? Age of Conan was a buy + sub game and I preordered and paid more just so I could get a damn rhino.

    Having a paid beta allows developers to get the testers they need (most are not there for testing) and gives them more money to finish development. The only time I get angry is when I'm paying a monthly sub for a "finished" game that is obviously still in alpha or beta state.

    At least they're not releasing it unfinished (yet).

    Must be talking about ESOTU, they are finally fixing a lot of those beta bugs. But I do agree 100%, developers are taking advantage of us gamer's by having us test the game after release.
