" We've also temporarily closed Tester signups. Our current userbase is sufficient for the moment, but we'll open things up again when we're ready to do some server stress testing."

Whoa! This is heavy.

Correct. No more.

basically getting 10,000 new users after E3 would be bad.

True, but so would locking out curious publishers who "drop in" for a look, having seen it at the E3 booth. Perhaps offering a "publisher pass application" form visibly on the main page would make it more friendly.

I can imagine 10,000 "What is the point of this game" entries into the global chat in a row.

How do I dock?

I would imagine that any e3 higherups would be given the opportunity to test if they so desired.

I think it might be a good idea to at least wait to open up the test again after the new chat system is in place and stable :p.

This game will still have a pay to play release this summer..

Correct?
May 09, 2004 Magus link
No. The Server Fairy will magically cover all of Guild's operating costs so Vendetta will be free. FOREVER!!

Or so we all wish.

I haven't heard anything about them changing plans for a Pay to play release.

I'm not asking for vendetta to be free forever..
And I don't hate pay to play. I was just curious.

I've been paying for another infamous mmopg called Jumpgate for years.

anyways.. again, thought I heard the game being planned to go pay to play in the future in the "In-Progress" section before the site got changed.

The game will go pay-to-play this summer.

If non-paying beta testing players can't post in this forum anymore... i'll break down and cry.

So, where do I go to get my ship washed and waxed? Can I get it painted pink? When do you guys plan on building a "Mother" ship for me?

Inquiring Mom's want to know.
