No Open beta

[arknor]

what was the last mmo to truly have an open beta?
the only ones i can think of were eve-online but i think it was only open for the last week or two and motor city online.

i think the days of true open beta's are long gone

cosidering no one can agree on what an open beta is bit hard to say when the last "true" on was

OH MY FUCKING GOD - WHO CARES!!!

Mythic have decided to call a particular phase of their beta period "Open Beta". In this sense they have chosen to call it open with respect to the NDA as in open = open to report and no secrecy anymore. Whether or not this ties in to anyones previous definition of open beta and whether it even should it IRRELEVANT. They could call it "chocolate flavoured with little sprinkly bits beta" and it would still be up to them as it is their beta and no-one elses.

IainC or MagnusK lock the thread already.

ps I hope the perpetrators of this threads decent into semantics end on opposite sides of the same server..... /popcorn
