So I've been poking around the forums and there has been mention that August 7th is billed as the second stage closed beta. However no one in the forums has linked to anything official with that information. So I'm wondering if this is just crowd speculation or not.

START RANT:Hard to say, as the devs are really working very hard to NOT build any hype for their game by not releasing useful information(release dates, game modes, mech custimization, new mechs, number of maps, etc...) in a highly visible package. This rant is almost over and I'm getting to my question I promise. But this does lead me to believe the actual release date for the full fledged mechwarrior free-to-play is 5-6 months out. Game companies aren't this tight lipped about projects unless they are no where near completion. END RANT


ACTUAL QUESTION: Ok, now for my actual question. Because they've billed August 7th as "Early Access" instead of "Larger Closed Beta" does this mean we actually need to be more careful with our in-game purchases and leveling because our work will be building up and actually relevant once the game goes live? If the forum users are right, then I can slosh funds around all willy nilly because it's still closed beta. If it's ACTUALLY "Early Access" then I need to be more careful and deliberate from that day on.

I would love it if someone could direct me to any official information on the subject.
