For whatever its worth, I think its unlikely (possible, but very unlikely) you'll see a closed beta start before mid-February at the earliest. There's no point in conducting witch-hunts among the playerbase before then. |

It's possible that the early stages may have been, but I can tell you for sure that by the time they got to the pre-order stage of Closed for CoV it definitely wasn't. That was the point that I started playing CoH/V, and I quite clearly remember the friend that got me into the game guiding me through setting up Test, which I've done on every one of my systems since.|

There are members of these boards that most time can't resist making snide comments, and much of what has been said lately attracts them like flies to poo. It is possible that they left, or are taking a break, but again I doubt it. |

Um. I don't mean to interrupt the fruitful discussion, but Golden Girl, can you please give us some sources from where you're pulling all these info bits out?
Last time I remember, you weren't a developer. 
That being said, I also do think marketing is doing a very, very terrible job. A tease is only useful if it promises a satisfactory ending. Otherwise it's just utter frustration. Dear gawd, that sounds dirty.
I said Alpha stage, and some of you - meaning the people who read the forums but are nice enough to not post announcing their affiliations with the devs themselves.
I did not say "Closed Beta" stage... at all.
Look, I was having a bad day, and perhaps I should have not been so paranoid. I didn't create the concept though, I just latched onto it in a moment of weakness.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

We were told about the separate GR beta server while we were testing the winter event on the nromal test server.

But it's not really odd - they did it for CoV, and GR will also need a long-ish beta, so it's better not to take down the standard test server for such a long time in case they need it for normal patch testing.

Pretty sure (was a long time ago) that the CoV beta was on a separate server too. Really, I think that would be the best way to do it. The closed betas for issues seem to cause a lot of bitterness.

Even if this WAS true...even on Closed Beta they make people sign so that they do NOT reveal information.|

What is your problem? Do you just not understand ENGLISH?
I SAID ALPHA, NOT CLOSED BETA.

So? It changes absolutely nothing. In fact, it makes it even LESS likely that any information is to be released by anyone, given the NDA. In fact, Alpha wouldnt even be announced because Alpha would be a Dev run thing, and all the 'waves' we have been told are all BETA waves.|

And here you are? Acting a fool. For what? Because I suggested that GR is in Alpha stage? That makes next to no sense to me. I don't honestly know what your problem is.
I never said it was announced. I know about NDA's. So your little tantrum your throwing right now.. ya. Point? Just wanted to be obnoxious today?
LOL
:e: boohoo you called me names.

Good, lucky me. You will learn now to just read what I say like its a grain of salt. It should in no way effect you. I am frustrated like many others they have not made an announcement.

I'm fairly sure every forum poster who is likely to get into the Alpha has a red name, and thus no need to "announce" their affiliation.

I think their friends and family alpha testers might also come to the forums, but don't post about it. Like, maybe one of them has a brother/sister? that reads through this sludge to get a chuckle... lol

Heheh, Funny. That's what I am doing too! I also went and picked up some books. I will still crave GR info, but Netflix, and reading will distract me I hope.|

Seems like we are all frustrated with the lack of GR info.
