It's been what, six months or something like that of closed BETA, but here we are, OPEN BETA! Oh sure, we heard some scary stories of how horrible it would be here in the new world, how things would crash, fall apart and how we would all be lost. But no, it is a wonderful place open beta.
I Liken it to what it must have been like many years ago when the English, and the French were first colonizing the New World. Sure for some the new world would be harsh, and scary and be the last for them, but for others, it would be a land of opportunity, for new growth, and new experiences they could never have.
PGI, please listen to the naysayers, but please, don;t kneejerk respond to to what they say. They represent a very, very, very tiny fraction of the whole. It's the old addage of human social interaction, if you encounter something that makes you happy, you will tell one maybe two people, but if something makes you unhappy you will tell everyone how you were wronged, you will shout it from the battlements. And in the telling one often embellishes and makes it worse with each retelling (PUG vs PREMADE for example).
So, again, my thanx to Russ, Bryan, Paul, Garth and others at the PGI team, THANK YOU!
To the play testers I have had the honor and privilege of playing with and against over the summer (even the ones who are a huge negative influence on the board), THANK YOU!
And to the new players who are just now firing up their fusion reactors and even now test firing their weapons into the backs of their teammates to a cacophonous chorus of "WHAT THE HECK MAN!?!?!"; WELCOME TO MWO.
I see many new and shiny things on the horizon over there, and I cannot wait to see what the future brings!
