[NamudNevets]

If you go off by Bayo ( in the next few days) that was posted on Friday, ( and since today was Presidents day in the USA, they probably held off on the invites till "possibly" tomorrow ( well today my time lol.)

Today, tomorrow latest I say ( but don't hold me to it as anything can happen, and I don't know what SE is thinking lolz)

I know im just stoked cause its so close now lol. So so rdy n wanna help make it better.

Background color change, does make a difference in people's attitude. Maybe that's what we need a Offical Forums makeover! :P
...

A darker forum theme would be awesome. Especially on the mobile site. I can't count the number of times I've blinded myself trying to browse the forums in the middle of the night.

I've always wondered what it was like in the BETA forums... I wasn't giving it a chance for 1.0 I thought it was all the same(cuz in fact it was) XD

There should be a darker look because testers eye's will be so strained from playing so much, the wall paper will need to go easy and cool on our vision. May I suggest the PS3 color code theme. Grey/ pitch black/silver(and other cool colors, no warm colors)

Give me beta fourms so we can at least talk about things and have server names.

I'm wondering what the server names will be. Will they be the same? =o

I'm refusing to get hyped to play with it again until I get the code.... /f5
I just want to get the dam download over now, i can easily wait out a few more days.

I'm stoked to see the differences between alpha and beta, then full release, never followed a game so in depth to see that.

Very excited that ARR is finally coming in 7 days! well almost 6 days now ^_^

don't get too wound up, the first phase of beta the servers will have limited uptime.

Where does it say that? I thought that was a matter of server stability, and the Alpha was for making sure that wasn't an issue.

As for the beta forums being bad: I agree. Not only will we see what the game looks like and start looking for things wrong (which we're supposed to), we'll be in a position to give feedback. The complaints have calmed down considerably in the months since 1.0 ended, but they're going to come flooding back as soon as beta kicks off. That's just the nature of MMO forums, or so I'm told.

Edit: It's not that I think it'll be a bad game. It's more that people are never fully satisfied.

This will likely be the longest week of the year. Time to get things done.
