Starman will become famous soon enough
I got into the beta test about 6 months ago and quite honestly I didn't much care for it. Seemed simply another WoW clone to me.

Since their whole gimmick seems to be that they are taking the game back to be more like the older mmorpgs i'm really not sure. I've got a fileplanet account so i will try it out but i am not expecting much.

6 gig download i started the other night but then i thought whats the point the game is being released within 2 months time.

I'll defo get the full game at release because it seems pretty good.

But Burning Crusade will be out in 3 weeks and from what i have played it's been a really good game so far.

It's a closed beta, the point is to be involved in some very small way in the testing and development process, not to play for free.

Yes and No

MMORPGS don't get demos so the open betas fill that role also. But if you find a bug and don't report it then you are abusing the idea too.

It's a closed beta, so not the finished article and not really a demo.

I'd agree with you that a open beta is very much a demo, it's a stress test and with so many people needed to fully test a server, the devs won't expect many of them to give much feedback. I assume they get what they are looking for by seeing how well the servers and zones respond to the numbers more than anything else.

mmm i don't know a fileplanet Beta is open in every respect except name. Its not like you have to do anything special to get in. Applicants aren't vetted or anything.

It seems these days that more and more games have a fileplanet beta and not an open beta at all.

Dear Non-U.S./Canadian Subscriber,

We thank you for your interest in the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes beta program on FilePlanet.

Unfortunately, between the pre-promotion of the program and its launch this evening, we had to restrict access to U.S./Canadian residents only. However, since you signed up before the restriction, we're going to set aside some keys and make sure you get one.

We apologize for the wait, but we will do our best to get you a key within the next couple of days. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, make sure you download the Vanguard beta client here: http://www.fileplanet.com/172201/170000/fileinfo/

Thanks again, and we hope you enjoy the program,

-The FilePlanet Team
so joy
