    Even with an NDA you would expect a few anonymous screenshots to be posted on reddit or someting like that.

    Maybe the people in the beta are just not into doing that.

    There are still people out there who honor a NDA. I know this sounds weird in a time where many think beta is just another word for demo/trial, but it's true.

    Then why let everyone sign up AND tell ppl to get 12 month subs to have a decent chance, if it's only long term bughunters and devs that get in?

    I don't think you want to answer that one.

    This was announced in mid 2007, and smeared by Funcom staff until 2013 almost 2014. I think calm down and patience are words that should not be be thrown around lightly here Sir! I'm just surprised no one has gotten ****** off enough to build their own AO servers.

    Yes, go build your own AO servers and send me an email when that's done.

    It's not negativity, Ana, it's skepticism :S Yes, you may have thrown a couple vids and pictures around, yes you may have announced the closed beta, but I think what the community wants is a bit more of proof. All in all, I fear the steps taken by the FC team were a bit wrong and misleading (especially about the first invites, which caused a lot of the drama you've read about and causing the snowball effect).

    What he said. And without questioning moderation; the way Funcom Customer Service handle things isn't always the best. However, I do not run a company, so I have no good suggestion as to how to do it.

    Personally, I'm not THAT excited for the new engine. If it happens it happens, but I'm not getting my hopes up. And I don't really care either. The reason being; I'm probably one of the few people who are satisfied with the way the game (both gameplay and graphics) is now. I guess alot of people will seize the opportunity to attack me for "sucking up to FC" now, but there really is no reason to. (But please go ahead if you're one of those immature boys from the basement with too much time on your hands, or go do your homework.)

    All the negativity you are referring to, shouldn't this maybe be considered in the way things are handled in the future ? (Allthough after all these years, maybe it's too late) How about communicating with the players(we, the people who are the reason you guys have work to go to) how we want things to be done ? I may not be the person with the best suggestions, but there are plenty of people within these forums that would like to voice theirs, and who knows, maybe one suggestion will be better than whatever FC can come up with...

    You guys have become too quick to write people of the playerbase off because you are getting unwanted feedback.

    Your one and only problem is not taking player feedback too much into consideration with anything you do. You just DO it and then you see how it turns out.

    Just something the people working on Anarchy Online could think about.

    If this is being negative I rue the day the engine actually goes open beta or something... Seriously, a few posts on a forum about the perceived mistake from funcom's PR isn't really all that bad. Can you guys just let some discussion be had atleast to let people vet.

    If you think this is being all that negative you have dire times to come

    I could care less about graphics. It is the game performance boost that is really attractive for me. No more sync issues, no more weird delays and such. This will surely boost up the gameplay feel a lot!

    Feedback is fine, and I don't really chase after it, and skepticism is understandable, and this has been ten pages of venting so its hardly being suppressed.

    However, outright state the dev team is lying and engaged in a conspiracy is a bit beyond the pale, and that's not skepticism or feedback, that's simply slander. So lets stop that, ok?

    Yes folks this isn't TSW, doubt there's a conspiracy. Just takes time. But a short game play video from beta would ease things. Not the one from 2 years ago. AO works right now so I'm happy. But hoping the update draws new players in and gets rid of the annoying bugs and glitches.

    First, it would be libel - not slander (as it is the written word, not spoken).

    Also, only 10 pages in over a month - in days gone by there would be much more (which in itself is a sad statement). And it's not all venting. The problem is, FC never (ever, ever, ever) likes criticism - and never answers it when it happens, which just leads to more. That's simply a failure of FC and the PR group.

    The issue of the 12 month sub getting preference - why not just answer the question and give the reasons?

    For me, I have 4 accounts - so why would I pony up that much $$$ at one time to pay for a game with a suspect future? Sure, I will do the 3 month ones because I love to play, but 4x 1yr $$$ - not likely right now. But does that mean I am less "valuable" to FC? In reality, I am more since I end up paying more per month this way.

    Regardless - the question is valid and desires an answer, it truly is that simple.

    Agreed.
