Is this game an "extended beta" version?

[Totobi]

My friend just bought a retail version of this game for £4.99!

This is an 'unofficial' beta, like it or not, we're testing content and giving feedback ready for the PS3 release.

Does it really matter what it's officially called? Regardless, I will treat the game like a beta, since getting so attached to certain features or raging at others is an exercise in frustration. SE needs feedback to change core systems and minor inconveniences, so it functions the same as a beta but already had gold status. Saying "it's essentially in beta again" is much simpler than a technically correct, long-winded explanation.

I'll stop calling this game a beta when it's a finished product that's actually worth spending money on.

just bought the retail version, but it's in beta. those 2 do not add up. you are either in retail(released) version or you are in beta... you are not in both. no matter what you think if the retail version is still being sold then it is released and not beta and no amount of sidestepping and rationalizing will change the facts. se calls it released and stores sell the retail version, therefore, it is not beta.

when se changes its stance and calls it beta i will do so, but as long as they still state it is released then i will do the same.

You take this beta too seriously...

Hence the term 'unofficial'.

the game is in beta, your logic is in alpha

the game is in beta, your logic is in alpha

and yours is in closed beta. once you pay for a security key you may be able to open it.

In a beta you give feedback on newly implemented items and help refine the game, fix bugs, ect.

Atm we are giving feedback as devs add core component to the game, reporting bugs, and so forwarth....

So techniqually yes this is an extended beta for PS3 (the core elements are not in place and the content is not yet added), but in reality it released so depends on how you look at it.

Atm the game is not finished and includes almost none of the content... so it is more a pay to enter beta more or less where we all keep our characters at the end.

Though it seems the team has shrunk, so can't really call it extended beta.

Wipe or no wipe, that's the question heh.
