"The Code is more like "Guidelines to the Actual rule"

Like I said before, they shouldn't have said that as that is bad business practice. However, Damage is done and you can't change it now. So what do you do now?

The good marketing practice, when you blunder, is to admit it and make amends instead of sweeping it under the rug. It tends to avoid hard feelings, and there are a lot of those around due to this mistake.

1) Inactives get to see this Beautiful World ( and it is)
2) they get to Listen to the New Soundtrack ( Battle theme is amazing.. if that doesn't pump you up idn what will :P)
3) Test out the Battle system( 1000tp at start could be an eye catcher)
4) See the New Dungeon ( Tam Tam Deepcroft)
5) Test out Gathering/Crafting
6) Testing the Quest system ( those Slugs that came from the tree was a nice touch to the quest as I didn;t know they were going to pop out at you, those quests are what I like, something "Unexpected)
7) See the "Fog map" in action

ALL of that can be conveyed with gameplay videos, which is in fact what they're doing promotion-wise.

Videos allow to show all the "good" things in the alpha to the general public, and in the meanwhile to hide the incompleteness, the lack of content, the glitches, how small the world is and so forth.
