Quoting Vordrak,

I have two questions for Brad

(i) Can I be in BETA 0? Please??? I own all the games you mentioned.

(ii) It is hard for me to pre-order games many months in advance as I prefer to pay by Paypal where possible. Is there anything you can do?

 

Please people, no beta begging, mmmkay?

Unless it is for the laughs, we do so love the laughing

In terms of the beta, all users who pre-order have access to the beta program.

But we are looking to have a private Beta 0 or pre-beta or late alpha or something available before the beta program begins that will largely go to users with high karma / have GalCiv II / Sins  / Demigod so that we can make sure the first beta works.  There's a lot of new tech going into this that we will need some outside testing with.
But... but... all my Karma is in the Sins forums!

well we can all hope right to get in regardless of karma right    

 

honestly i hope we all get to help as quick as we can, i love how stardock allow us to get a hold of it before it's done and to help, unlike most companies that hoard their products until (they "think" though usually not nowadays *sigh*) near total perfection.

That's right for the Beta. For that other "pre-Beta"/"late-Alpha" that Frogboy talks about, we shouldn't worry too much. Those who take part will share with us information and screenshots, so at least we will get some fun too.

Is there going to be somewhere to sign up for this late alpha/early beta? Or is it just going to be based on what people have purchased and how active they are in the forums?

 

Regardless, I'm really looking forward to this game. Sounds like it'll be a blast to play and mod!

Hahah. I'm impatient and I first heard about the game in Game Informer today. (Busy at work, so no time to do anything significant!)

With the track record of Stardock developed games however, I preordered as soon as I read a little about it. I'll wait for the beta. Patiently. Now I'm going back to the SoaSE (Yes, Stardock only published that one) Entrenchment beta.

Well I plan to buy the Elemental game soon to be part of the official beta program.

I believe my two strong systems with dual booting Win2000 and WinXP_64bit might allow me to qualify for some special testing.

Just found out about this game, Read a lot and am loving what I see!   Hrm, Karma huh?  Darn it! 

 

*Plants some Karma seeds*  now just to water it twice a day!

 

Since I don't have demi-gods yet guess I'll have to wait for the full beta.  *Twitch*  Oh well, I'll just have to amuze myself with Sin's and getting my empire in MOM a bit bigger.

To anyone thinking of hoarding Karma good or bad, just remember that Karma is a big fan of Irony.

Frogboy - Likewise, I've purchased a fair amount of Stardock software in the past few years,and would love to take part in Alpha/Beta-0/whatever.  Ihaven't pre-ordered yet, partly because I'd like a spot, so to speak.  I have a CS background and work for a software company, so I think the feedback quality would be there.

Is the intent to keep the audience small just to be able to manage it more efficiently?


Edit: I ask for reasons expressed better above.  I play a fair amount, but haven't necessarily posted a ton.  Naturally, I'd expect to post a lot more if I'm part of a beta.

Wait, what? You haven't pre-ordered yet because you'd like a spot, even though the way to get a spot is to pre-order?

LOL

Rather, because spots on Beta-0 aren't guarantee, I'm holding off on pre-ordering.  If they were guaranteed, I'd pre-order tomorrow.

I can see why what I wrote was confusing, though.

Naturally, I'm also biased because I have 0 Karma.

That makes more sense but I still don't get it. Frogboy said that people who've preordered the game (and preferably other SD games) were more likely to be able to get into this so-called beta-0. So if you want a spot in said beta you'd still be better off preordering. Even if you don't get into beta-0, you'd still get beta-1; and you wouldn't be charged until beta-1 begins, either.

Hopefully the beta testers with 64-bit OS  systems will be testing the very very large worlds to squash any heavy memory usage bugs and large map world bugs.
