Alpha test "soon"

[Sephrick]

I don't think so; it would be a mistake if they did. They've realised now how important the community is to the game, they should strive to keep it together. If the forums are closed, many people will move to other forums and break apart the community here as many may not come back once reopened.

The last poll showed that a very small portion of the player base posts here regularly. I have a feeling we wouldn't stray very far.

As long as the beta forums are viewable by the general public then all will be well.

Leaving the forum open when there's no game to actually play is just inviting massive trolling.
