They announce that the “Open Beta” is coming soon. Ok… so is this founders pack an early access into “Open Beta”? How is this an “Open Beta” if you have to pay… or is this just their plan of how they are going to enable the cash shop early for this “Founders Server” and then feed it out into actual servers later. Aren’t they going to wipe it after anyway?
We’ll have to wait for them to comment on that, but wiping characters and stuff after you spend real money via the cash shop won’t sit well. I’m sure many Founders would be upset if that was the case.
Of course it is.
B2P playes will test this buggy mess for us. Then in June we will simply come and play… for free.
If only it was actually marketed that way. It’s basically “I Pre-order but I get to play right away” kinda spiel.
Just let them do it then. If the game SOMEHOW becomes better from their contribution, that’s even better.
The main thing we may not experience complains from them, playing the unfinished game.
Yes, you are essentially paying to beta test the game.
