Im really not a fan of the way they went about handing out closed beta keys.

At first this idea that the keys would be handed out in waves, so that eventually everyone could play, sounded like a good idea.

Now, however, it seems to be dragging on, as people wait for the next wave, unknowing if they will get an invite this week or in a month.

They should have just sent them all out, so those who have not been selected could move on unitll open beta.

It just seems to be fustrating lots of people, who signed up early, participated in the forums, and now have to wait, week by week, to find out if they will be able to play.  You can imagine how fustrating that coul be.  Luckily im not one of these people, i regesterd late and kind of expect no key now.

Just because ppl say they've joined the CB enrolling early and were active forum members doesn't mean it's also true.

I just did the MMOSite contest and got an account from that but i guess im waiting for an email.

if you were writing an mmo, you'd not had more people test it than you had staff members so far, and were about to open it up to some public testers, what would you do?

would you hand out a pass to everyone that wanted one, not knowing if the server could take it or not, and then just watch it melt down under the load?

or would you get a group at a time, build it up, find what the ideal number is, and work around that?

I know which option I'd choose... and it wouldn't be an overloaded server

Yeah i would open the flood gates, you cant stress test without reaching the failure point, otherwise you really wont know how exactly the server is going to preform or how heavy a load it can handle.

way to break the NDA

How is that breaking the NDA? Are you stupid or something? I didnt say anything about whats in the game. What are you going to do report me? Might as well ... I mean I did break the NDA by just saying its an awsome game.

No key yet, but looks like this will be the next game I play for sure. I am tired of dishing out big money on games and just getting frustrated. I want to be able to buy my add ons and play when I have time to play.

To me they didn't do any bad the closed beta invites...come on people...CB's are there to improve the game not to try out the game, don't be so selfish. Plus if they invited thousands of players right the first day of CB it would be a chaos, they don't need to stress the server/s in the first day, they will do it when needed.

If you want to try the game instead of testing and helping to fix bugs in the game, i advice you to simply download the chinese version "Radiant Arcana" instead of posting BS complaining about CB invites, just type "ra moliyo" in google and there you have the chinese version homepage! Btw RoM is/will be different than the chinese version so don't expect it to be 100% the same game.
