    Oh cool, another thread about the same topic as the 5 other threads on the front page. (Yes that is exaggerated, but not by much.)

    I don't get it. Despite my best intentions I played the hell out of 1.0. I would think I'm in that tier that would be excited about any significant news related to the game. And I am. But I don't care if this begins on the 15th, 25th, or next month. It's the first stage of beta, not the release of ARR -and even if it was, how does the exactness of the date affect my life? Or yours?

    Oh yes, August 16th would be soo much better than August 30th. Never mind the fact that the first iteration came out nearly three years ago. We can wait three years for a better product, but not a week more!

    It's a funny paradox how the general public is so fanatical and passionate about something, but then the tone changes to a far more casual one after the game (or the patch, whatever) is released.

    Well I think that is mostly because after a release people are playing it and not posting on the forums waiting for it.

    I'm not talking about the frequency of posts, which I doubt will decrease when ARR goes live. I'm talking about the mentality of the general public.

    To be more clear, it's the cries of "omfg I need it now, GOING TO CUT OFF MY ARM IF I CAN'T PLAY TOMORROW," followed by, once they get to play, a predominantly casual mindset and layer after layer of requests to make it more casual.

    The general public you're talking about, have ADHD, Asperger, Autism etc. So they freak out over schedules not being exact, and they don't have any control.

    You know there is an opportunity here for one epic trolling concerning all the tension surrounding the beta. So imagine you get an email with your code for beta in it, you input your code, load up thinking about how much fun you're going to have playing with the character creation, but as soon as you load in you get this:

    Could you imagine? I guess it's a good thing Yoshi-P doesn't think like a troll. xD

    SE: Beta... I just couldn't stop thinking about it...

    Me: Yeah?

    SE: so I opened up my computer and I saw all the Beta invites and I said "I know who would like that..."

    Me: Yeah?!

    SE: "ME!" so I opened it up and posted pictures of my playing on the internet!

    Me: AWWWWWWW! ;=; You're kiddin' me.

    SE: And then I saw the benchmark...

    Me: ; ; Uh huh?

    SE: But then I just didn't do anything because I was already playing beta!

    Me: Noooooooo... ;o; /boohoohooo!
