    Some NCsoft games stretch to a year long beta phase. Example: Aion, and Blade & Soul.

    Perhaps SE doing something similar.

    They still have "in house testing". But you can't stress-test an MMO in-house, no matter how big your QA department is. Besides, an alpha/beta test and regular QA/focus group testing are two completely different things.

    Also: lol at using interns for good QA.

    But those companies didn't start out developing triple-A games with several hundred people working on them.
