    they should open up the old school areas as legacy playgrounds where the ghosts of old players run around randomly failing to gank the low level mobs and them complaining about it not being their fault because the mobs are OP.

    seriously, the first part of that would be cool ^^ AND we'd have to take a long swim to noob isle

    I can see it now...

    We are starting gradually with the Closed Beta invitations. As a token of our appreciation, those who have signed up for 12 month Membership plans will be given the highest priority and those with 6 months plans the second highest.

    2 weeks later FC closes AO. Kthxbye.

    I would be wary of this, it smells like poo

    Mixed feelings.. About time the ball started rolling, a lot of bugs will be found quicker than internal testing, overall things can move along smoothly, allowing the Developers to sort things out their end free from testing.

    Seriously though, priority is given to people who subbed longer??? so people like myself who've played 7-8 years on and off aren't appreciated, we don't matter? and people who've played longer, who come back for a sub 1-2 months at a time on one month recurring subs just get screwed over and not treated equally.. sounds just about right, Funcom should know they have a great dedicated player base... who have been VERY Loyal with Funcom regarding balance/engine update.

    Or is this another spin on milking more money out of people.. 1month subs (over priced) item shop and stuff sold there, now if you sign up for 12month sub or 6month you get a "chance" to beta test, correct me if I'm mislead..seriously..

    At least Blizzard had the decency to guarantee beta access with a year's sub.

    Oh.. wow! Just like the US tax system! The rich not only get a discount, but get better gifts... NICE...Wait.. I cant afford a 12/6 month sub at once if i want to eat and have a place to live.. OH WELL!

    GL with it.

    With FC you have access to the Testserver. It's pretty much the same in terms of readiness and from QA's PoV.

    If an old player activates for 3months for bout xmas, will I have the right to play beta @ my xmas holiday in Jan?

    Erm no.. 12months sub gives best chance, then 6months.. anything else then you wait till it's launched I guess..

    So a guy who never played AO before, comes along subs for 12months gets beta access while veterans on smaller subs get nothing despite playing 10years+ not to mention AoC or TsW they may have invested in due to playing AO first..

    How nice, I'll show my appreciation of this by canceling my running subscription

    I think "As a token of our appreciation" sounds like "Accounting demanded we find a way to monetize access to the beta".

    With Blizz you get access to the Public Test Realm. Testserver is a bad argument when the original point is about betas.

    as someone with 5 paid accts all on yearly basis 3 of which date back 8-10 yrs, i have not received any beta link on any of the accts. so either its happening to people with older configs first to figure out what the bugs are or not really happening and still vaporware.

    yeah, I think that would be pretty important tbh. why would you want to exclude the possibility of getting new player input. altho I do not agree with how this is being done, I think new player input would be just as important as ours.

    Jesus, stop bloody complaining? I find someone paying 12 months (and playing 12 months) more loyal than some guy who decides to pay one month every year or so, am I wrong?

    Be happy they finally announce a beta, I mean, that's a milestone right there!

    Also, it is probably the easiest way to hand out beta-keys, instead of checking every players subscription history.

    Phasefront and Pre-Order Hoverchair

    From "New content available in the Closed Beta":

    The phasefront display area has been removed from Newland.
    Toni Akseli, on the Phasefront platform, gives out the Westerlund Loungemaster (hoverchair) to those who pre-ordered the Legacy of the Xan Booster Pack. It's account-wide, so I've always been able to get one on any new characters I've made on both of my accounts. Where would I go to get that, once Phasefront is gone?
