Yeah it'd be nice to know if anyone got selected for Beta or not, or at least a general ETA update.... it's been a while since the emails went out.
BM probably won't give a firm ETA, since development is always a fluid situation. However, given that the status updates seem to be focused more on design than coding as of late, I'd say the game is definitely progressing. Also, per Farbs on Rudolpho's twitter, as of November 19th the beta has not started. I'm sure we'll be hearing when the beta starts.
Bang some pots and pans together. Should be enough to annoy the neighbors and get some fun out of it.
Since this was posted it seems the mule has not been very silent at all. Judging from the last couple weeks worth of tweets from Rudolpho there has been a real push at Blue Manchu to get the beta launched. Everything from beta tools to a new treasure store and pricing changes. Even loot additions!!!! I know Blue Manchu doesn't want to set dates by saying when we will have the beta. How about coming at this the other way. What kind of time-frame can we rule out? Will we not have shiny new loot for Christmas? Will we not see the loot drop for the New Year? Will we not be not be hunting Valentine's Day cards? Will we not be not be counting on the luck of St. Patrick for item drops? Give us something we're dying here. Not really, but I wanted to try and stir up some conversation. The forums have been kinda quiet.
Oh, yeah, and you should just call it FIBtober because that is such a blatant FIB! . . . Once again, I am too tired to be funny.
