BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

[Elexia]

SE needs to market this game. A lot. This needs to happen at a worldwide event like E3. E3 is all about new games rather than those already released. Logic tells me the chance of this game releasing before E3 is 0.

Even if all beta testing is completed by the middle of May they will hold off the launch until after E3. They may even artificially extend the latter phases for this reason. Alpha was originally meant to end mid-December but they let it run a bit longer to let more people in.

This game will launch mid to late June if there are no delays. Don't expect it any earlier but do expect it later as delays always happen on big projects.

Alpha as in testing did end on time actually. It was left up as a playground after though.

go go go~


Some clarification is needed,

If you read PAGE 5, which says "Beta Test Eligiblility"
it means those 3 type of account holders are Eligible to the Beta Test, this does not mean those account are Qualified.

This show greatly that they will still screen-proof and selected some for the beta test, how many i do not know.

So basicly, dont hope to high and be disappointed like some of you do xD <3

Your going to need to Edit your OP :P, Reinheart Confirmed that ALL Legacy Players will be doing Beta from Phase 1 and Onward :P.

Well that's pretty much what I meant. They'll do the same with the beta if they want the release to be a bit later than their test plans dictate it needs to run for. Releasing before E3 would be a huge mistake.

Giving Legacy account holders guaranteed access? Hard to believe, but if it's been confirmed by the Subligar King... hmmm..

Anyways, if it is true, then it is further proof that this time around, YoshiP and staff are really showing some customer relations on an entirely new level.

SE is the ultimate team player out of any company i seen up to date. they actually talk to the people paying for there services.

Yeap, a bit relive that Reinhart can confirm it from Yoshi's talk show

Because of the wording they use in the Roadmap could meant otherwise

OK just watched the video to the part where YoshiP commented on Legacy members. It's confirmed. YoshiP said ALL LEGACY MEMBERS WILL GET TO START FROM PHASE 1, no registration, selection is needed.

Just SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
