For Those of Us Who Tested the Beta....

I was just talking with ItISLupus about how those of us who tested the beta should get something for the time we put in. Most common thing is usually something for your avatar, like a beta tester's shirt. Another idea I had was some unique in-game armor, but Lupus said no on that because part of the community would whine about it not being godlike and the other half would whine if it was godlike. Then i thought, what about a unique in-game title, like "Traveler of the old world". I thought it was a clever reference to the older code used in the beta. Lupus suggested "Experimental Ego", or something along those lines.

So what do you think would be cool to get?

Just a reminder that there have been no mentions of any sort of bonus for beta testing. This thread is purely for speculation and discussion.

nothing, I have beta tested many games and hardly any give you anything... just be happy you got to play early

no i dont think we should get anything and we wont get aything so before you post this utilize the search bar and look at how many threads were made on this same exact topic.

What do I think would be cool to get?

I guess I'd be happy just to get the GAME on the launch date. Ya know, because of my preorder 'n all. But that ain't gonna happen, 'cause the retailer I preordered from isn't going to even ship it until tomorrow, maybe. And some people who ordered fancy-smancy copies won't get them for almost two more weeks.

This is too bad, because this game NEEDS the servers online to be accessible, so it would have been fine for everyone to have a retail copy in hand prior to April 2nd. Oh well.

I said the same thing. but if we were to get anything. a title would be sufficient. Anything more and people would get bent out of shape

We got to see an early version of the game. That's our reward.. and also that fuzzy feeling of perhaps contributing (although likely any feedback you gave had already been fed back) a tiny bit, if only for server stress testing. I wouldn't be against Alpha testers getting a title or unique item of clothing or something. And no, I'm not an Alpha tester.

Thats the fault of the retailer's not Trion's. I'm sure that if Trion could control it then they would.

Are you serious? You think you "deserve" something for Trion letting you play a bit of their game early?!?!?!?

And btw, you did get something... You got to PLAY a GREAT video GAME before it was released!!!! Jeeze come on people....
