Releaseing or even having a beta start around the same time as a Blizzard release (cata, dec 7), is pure genius.

Cool, grabbed a key from Curse only to find I had already been accepted to the Closed Beta already. Guess I should check my email more, hehe.

The first beta ends on the 6th. They know.

These keys are similar to the ones they gave out awhile back. It doesnt give you access but flags your account for a higher chance to be selected and the more keys you have apply to your account the better the chance.

Crazy way of going about it.

Here is a video explaining its features.

Two factions

Dynamic World - depending on if rift faction is winning or defenders are.

Spec Tree called Souls - it appears that say a rogue can eventually get access to other classes abilities like mage portals in end game.

I don't do Betas but I will try it out in 2011 when it will be released.

Only negative I see so far is that it appears to be first person, hopefully that is an option they choose for the video.

Not really, they'll lose the 'hype' factor.

Their game will be incomplete and unpolished while Cataclysm will be.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Buh, the video shows third person right off the bat when it first shows actual gameplay with the UI...


edit: After watching the whole video, they didn't go first person once

You did completely miss the overwhelming amount of sarcasm that was dropping from his post right, and chose to play along.. right?

Perhaps, I thought it looked like they were filming other people playing but maybe it was the player and they were just panning around.
