Finally got my fourth chance in as many days to get a beta key and download the client. And for the fourth time, I'm told the beta is temporarily closed again.

This is hilariously bad.

When FF11 went live, it had a ~5 month open beta. They've publicly said over the years that they didn't think 11's was long enough. WoW had a 9 month open beta. Yes, it really does take that long to get an MMO working and stable. The longer the beta, the better the product.

Yet SE seriously expects to launch this thing with three weeks of open testing? Are they insane?

I want to like this game so badly, but what are they thinking? The only possible explanation I can think of is that they're desperate to make third quarter earnings targets, the deadline for which usually happens to be September 30th.

You can't really even submit bugs properly or get help in game as the Support Desk in open beta is closed.

I beta'd Fallen Earth (which was terrible but I was bored), they had a Global chat channel for beta only, there wasn't even 10mins that would pass without at least 1 GM responding to questions in the global channel, some of them would even teleport to your location and show off their equipment.

Just run away from them, it doesn't target lock like in XI, and as for sandy-ish city, I'm assuming easiest to navigate.. Ul'Dah I'd say.

Too be honest, i don't know what SE are thinking either. The game is definitely a backwards step from FFXI, i'm kinda on the reasoning that: A) SE are running out of cash and could become bankrupt so they are rushing asap to get money or B) They just don't care how the game turns out as long as they make a profit. inb4 SE fanboys defend the game. It's really disappointing, i was looking so forward to playing the game too :/

I'm kinda curious as to how it's going to turn out too, I like to think i'm and optimist, because honestly they seem to have some sort of plan if they are releasing it this early from an open beta :/

Only time will tell to be honest xD

Open Beta is 99% people who want to play mmo's for free. They dont care about finding bugs and what not. Just stresstesting on the servers.

So doesnt matter how short/long open beta is. All on Closed beta. Who says they have to release/patch everything for open beta?
