With news like the official announcement of a closed beta, I guess it was to be expected that numerous topics on the subject would sprout in General discussions.
I find it quite amusing how many topics have been created basically asking for the same thing; details on the closed beta, what it takes to be invited, what happens after you uploaded your system specs, etc....

At the same time I feel kinda sorry for those who will be in charge of "cleaning up this mess" ^^
To the mods out there, don't forget to grab a beer once you're done! ;)
Cheers!

I'll return to observing for now, patiently waiting for any kind of news they're going to throw at us.
I for one am eager for this weeks screenshot!


However, have a good one folks, and try not to make it too hard on the mods! ;)

They signed-on for this, so time to roll up some sleeves and get Mergin'!

And if they feel overwhelmed, then they can blame Garth for not generating enough Mods. ;)

Yup poor mods, but i think it could have been less chaos if they made the announcement a bit clearer.
The way it is now it's almost like the bible or something. It's all about how you interpret it.

As I said, I suppose one could have guessed this would happen, and I find it quite amusing how people start acting in a way that they think will improve their chance of being selected for the closed beta, but I also always think that there's gotta be someone to clean all that up.
They signed up for it, true... ...but I don't envy 'em :D

We're keeping our heads down until the initial rush of excitement is over. On a related note, we're setting the record for concurrent users on the forum over, and over, and over again.

If you merge now, there will be fewer to wade through as you merge later... but I guess having a bunch of copies will deter further creation of copy threads.

Either way, you mods keep up the good works! Without you, this place would degenerate into chaos

@semambrot - I have to agree on how interesting people will act in order to improve their perceived chances of getting into the Beta.

In my opinion, the worst of the lot is those that state something to the effect of "I need to get into Beta to see if I'm going to buy this game and if I can't get it, then forget it, I wont but the game". Talk about trying blackmail the devs. I for one would think the game could do better w/o such types of mentality.
