General Discussion - Added to Alpha Sporadically...........Can You Clarify That? - Forum

We'll probably add another three or so for 0.8.1, etc. By the time we enter closed beta (0.9.0, early August), we'd like there to be several hundred people in the alpha. All of the above information may change. Thanks for the information Chris! Hm then i guess i should be just waiting for early August.There are no chance to get there sooner ( personally for me ) but there are few peopple that really deserve it. Repent! That's what i'm talking about!	Posted by obscenerainbow#7942 on Mar 22, 2011, 9:36:12 AM Quote this Post

Has jack all item differences like an mmo(sword of the bear +3 str 12 dps.). Has cooldown on skills and skill stats like +2% to dmg like an mmo. It has soul bound items like an mmo. Ok its not a mmo. Its a action RPG that wants to be an mmo. : D Cheaper than free... Speedtree	Posted by Rustychops#1076 on Mar 22, 2011, 9:50:22 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I kinda feel cheated somehow...	Posted by KrapnoV#2538 on Mar 22, 2011, 11:37:28 AM Quote this Post
--- 1- all of the above may change . 2- sporadically basically means 'when they feel like it' or when they 'need' more people . see #1 , june could roll around and they might up and say - let them all in ! not ikely but 'possible' --- .

I will play d3 and PoE... These are two games that really got my attention so far. As many people said already - PoE will be free to play so you dont have to choose to play for example: D3 or PoE. This might and i guess will do some damage to PoE's player size. Repent! That's what i'm talking about!	Posted by obscenerainbow#7942 on Mar 22, 2011, 1:52:12 PM Quote this Post
