There will be the public beta for anyone who preorder the game. First beta will be available in the spring.

If they did it so early, they may listen to players ideas and wishes. Some of them are bad, but some of them are very good. If you develop something, it is less difficult to add some features, if you plan it from the beginning. At the end of the development process it is often quit difficult or even impossible.

[quote]Giving it important information (Player X is about to destroy the mountain you live in, or Player Y has a hero/army that's coming to steal your treasure- join me)[/quote] How can you imagine it might work?

The neutral towns may be like minor races in GC II - have its own personality..

Planes of existence was good thing in MoM. I did like to play the dark elves.
