Well i godda say, it looks really neat and fun. But from what i found out, the alpha is only 4 weeks to go, then theres a pause to beta or something and all progress is lost until the final. 50$ for that?
Hey kids, do you remember a time where developers and publishers hired people to playtest their games in order to report bugs and improve quality? I do! Do you know that these people used to be paid to do that since it was a regular job? Amazing! Did you know that nowadays YOU have to pay the DEVELOPERS in order to bugtest their games? Amazing!
$50 alpha ffs Whoever came up with the idea of early access is a friggin' genius. Get the customer to pay the developer for the "right" to report bugs.

Especially as the game will be freeware when its final...
Brought these practices up before... but hell even here it had people defending it.
Been play/beta testing since around 94 I think, never had much problems getting invites or even free games to do so... but the past years it's either: pay to test for us or be some youtube derp...

oh the good old times when you got invited for closed Betas and alphas and even offered positions in those games. I even was offered to become a ingame support for EVE when it was released, because of how good i did during the beta lol.
But couldn't imagine doing that 8hrs/day back then, even with the prospect of it eventually becoming a paid spot ... oh well .. coulda shoulda woulda ..
It indeed looks rather interesting though. Apparently it will also be buy2play, so that should in theory warrant some higher quality than a straight f2p game.
Maybe after it leaves beta there will be some free trial.

Not bad but i recently found out that i actually like theme-parks way more then sandbox MMOs from playing BDO and ArcheAge so i will stick to FFXIV for my MMO needs.
I've been very interested in this game, but I hoped they would have an open beta at some point. Paying 30us to try it first puts me off a bit. On top of that, the "premium" status for subscribers makes me worry about balance in this type of game.
