Adding inactives would be a good call in an advanced beta. In a early alpha it's an awful one that will bring more harm then good.

This, of course, beyond the undeniable fact that making a rule and then not honoring it in the face of your paying customers is *never* a good call.



People that stood here through thick and thing should get in before inactives always. It's a simple matter of customer satisfaction and fidelization. Taking your existing customers for granted and disadvantaging them in favor of new customers is a very basic marketing mistake.



If it was they wouldn't have put in the rule against inactive accounts to begin with.

"The Code is more like "Guidelines to the Actual rule"

Like I said before, they shouldn't have said that as that is bad business practice. However, Damage is done and you can't change it now. So what do you do now? Well lets look at the Positive that came from this:

1) Inactives get to see this Beautiful World ( and it is)
2) they get to Listen to the New Soundtrack ( Battle theme is amazing.. if that doesn't pump you up idn what will :P)
3) Test out the Battle system( 1000tp at start could be an eye catcher)
4) See the New Dungeon ( Tam Tam Deepcroft)
5) Test out Gathering/Crafting
6) Testing the Quest system ( those Slugs that came from the tree was a nice touch to the quest as I didn;t know they were going to pop out at you, those quests are what I like, something "Unexpected)
7) See the "Fog map" in action

There is more just giving you some examples as to what to be positive about.

There are quite of few things in Alpha, and Yes it's not Content filled.. but All MMOers should know anyhow that Alpha isn't Content packed anyhow.

Edit: nothing is as simple as it seems to be :P
