I am indeed a n00b kix, and I shall tell you why! The freaking game keeps changing! And not just content wise, *balance issues* ect ect ect, its an ever-evolving universe, we will ALL always be n00bs :) we might know it all now, but if you took a *uhum* break, and came back 6 months later, could you say the same thing ?

Once a lil grey-haired old-school granny-type alt came on...and told us bedtime stories like how the racetracks were born and stuff...

Storytime was great! I was up late that night fearful of the original trolls!
Trolls with NUKES!

I forget her name tho...but thanks anyway!

""but the only discussion I've ever seen on this issue has been in those two threads (which broke down into 'alphas are elitist pricks' vs 'i'm an alpha gimme') and the various altercations on 100.""

Ok, i'm gonna jump in here.

I've gone back through the threads i could find on the subject and I dont see elitist OR gimme type comments from alphas.. I see them from 2 (maybe 3 at most) PLAYERS who were around during alpha, and a whole lot of paranoia about being suddenly outclassed by post-release players.

Everyone is having a knee-jerk reaction here, and the best way to deal with it is to just LET THE TOPIC DIE.
Alpha, Beta, post-release, whatever.. I seriously doubt that Incarnate is going to let anything into the game that gives one small group a significant advantage just because of how long they have been here.

And the goodies werent even supposed to be FOR alpha players.. they were a bonus to anyone who PRE-ORDERED the game... Games offer incentives like that all the time, its called a promotion. It's kind of like WAL*FART selling socks buy 2 packs get 1 pack free--- If you miss the sale, you miss the chance for free socks. period. end of story. It has nothing to do with being better or worse than anyone else, or more or less important.. it's just a matter of timing.

Either way, none of this matters.. the Devs will get around to it when they have the chance, the moderators will sit on the trolls, (or sic large billy-goats gruff on them) and we can all go back to our regularly scheduled gaming.

In a way the fact that a few malcontents are complaining about not having thier free stuff is a good thing, it means that most of the rest of the game is doing well enough that that have to hunt for things to use when stirring up trouble.

anyhow.. I think this whole topic is blown out of proportion, and has been by a few individuals who wanted exactly what they got.. a lot of attention, and this thread is only giving them more of what they wanted.
