Pre-release players to lose an item.

Due to their arrogance, pre-release players must give up the ability to enter stations. This reward is thanks to the few that have whined for something "special".

[giggle]

I think you should remove their ability to speak and post to the forum...

Couldn't we just... stop talking about it?
If alpha/beta players feel their veterancy isn't respected anymore by anyone, most will give up trying to wow others. And those who don't... well, every online game has its trolls.

toshiro: i think most of the fuss is due to the fact that the pre-order promo offer included an offer of "goodies" for people who purchased it.

personally I could care less, but it was offered, and so far not delivered. I'm sure the devs will get around to it eventually however.

Actually i'd find items that reward players for length of subscription more appropriate... a small reward at 6 months, a slightly better one at a year.. etc etc.

Yeah, I agree with spell.

I don't think it should just be prereleasers who get the rewards.

A 6 month award, year award, etc... would be nice

yah! like maybe we could get a force field around our ship after 2 years!

I think only those who have been in the game for two years or more should have the option of clicking "No XP" and "Moneybug" flags for each new character they create. That way we can go back to our beloved Alpha playstyle.

Also, Alphas should be given pre-release ships with no weight weapons, to further facilitate that transition.

Post-release players should then have their levels and inventories reset to even the playing field.

That is all.

HAHAHA, sorry... I thought youjust said that Alpha/beta players should get uber ships with infinite money and no need for xp, and post-release players should have all of their hard work that was put into leveling, stockpiling, etc, wiped out.

HAHAHA, that would have been funny... had you said that.

/me slips on the sarcasm that dripped all over the floor.

i would just like to point out that though all this a lot of people seem to be running off woth the idea all alpha-beta testers are egotistical maniacs now i may be i do grant you that :) but most (allright a few) of us are allright and if we are honest most of the rest of you whould be worse ;)

but thats not to say i would say no to a pie gun :)

/me picks Martin up off the floor...

nifty... hehe... I'm paid up through September 2007 so far... so I'll be looking forward to my future goodies... or... uh, docking at cappys... or... uh, hiring n00bs to heal me outside the stations... or, frak... whatever... I don't really care, as long as I get to play...

I think a reset right about now would be hilarious.
Just thinking about it is enough to make me laugh. Heh. Hehehe. Heh.
