well its more like $15 dollars a month for me by the time I convert it. However I have played the game for free for a heck of a long time now so I don't mind it too much. Just means one case of beer less a month.

I will buy the box and probably until January worth of subscriptions and see where the game is at that point, and where my bank account is:/

What i dont think some people get is this

VENDETTA IS STILL A TEST..... Wait till Soon(tm) then bitch the PvP system.....

As i have stated before, i will be paying, and like RelayeR says, the payment for beta testing is already done - if they want to give us something like a *tag* or unatainable *item/rank* great, bonus, and it would be them saying thanks, not repaying some debt....

One more thing, here you are, trying to get a discount, or appauled at the price - i havent seen half of you anywhere near the new vendetta, maybe you should be saying all this in there, and doing the devs a favour, and test the game huh?

[Edit] I meant to put both the PvP and p2p points in there..... a lot of players aint logging on because they cannot kill people..... the p2p topic is irrelivent, assimilated you will be... (must have cost them loads already, its justified)

P.s, dont flame my spelling/grammer, im english, we drive on the left ffs....lol

yoda...good points! (I think you mean P2P and not PvP)

Now, if we could get you to talk like yoda, you could be our sage teacher!

VENDETTA, A TEST IT IS...

Vendetta is still a test? Er... the release date is in a few weeks. You might want to stop saying "test" every time someone complains - when the newbs show up they're going to be sort of confused.

Hmm... gee... do YOU SEE it released yet Starfisher? Do YOU SEE a stress test yet? Hmm.. Guess it's still a test then ehh? Stupid idgits. I swear 13 year olds all of ya! :)

i will pay even though I don't play often. just to say thank you to devs for letting me test and play with their mighty wares.

Oh come on furball. The argument: "It's still a test, drop it" when someone brings up a problem is incredible given that the game is going to retail in 15 days. Call the state of the game whatever you want, but you won't be able to use that argument in 15 days. Unless you manage to convince anyone who buys the game that its a test... that they are paying for.

Soon (TM) = 15 days. I'm not going to "wait to bitch" about something that could be a game killer when there's that much time left to adress it. I have a lot of faith in the devs - they've managed to pull through before and I'm sure they will again, but no olympian effort is going matter if they don't see the full breadth of the problem.

I think the fact that there are bot models that are finished, but aren't in the game yet should maybe give you a clue as to how much the devs have done and aren't showing us yet.

If you wanna bitch, wait a coupla weeks. Is it really that hard?

I won't wait 2 weeks to bitch because I won't be paying $30 for this game just to complain about it. I will see what it looks like in 6 months with the new content patch and make my decision then. As of right now I don't think there's much the dev's haven't showed you, I think this game is probably 95% of what you're going to see when it comes out in the box, there's a possibility the dev's have already sent the Release Candidate to their publisher.

Another question to ask..

If the game goes pay to play, will it be required to be subscribed to the game in order to access the forums??

I think the question should be.....

*Is there going to be a forum after it goes gold?*

If not, i'll do a simple phpbb jobby myself....lol or somebody will, dont sweat it, but will we need the forum ??? *except to stay in touch*....

its easy, to avoid spam bots do yodaofborg(at)hotmail"dot"com sure you can work it out ;o)

[Edit]But maybe this enitre subject is of topic, and belongs there ;o)

[Edit 2] Ever wonder if someones reading your type o's before you edit??...lol

There's already many, many forums. Click Community Sites...

Speaking both as a future P2P'er and current Forum Moderator, I think it might be a little disruptive to continue to allow official website access to people who don't have access to the game itself. As time goes on and changes are made, the opinions of past players will be less and less informed. I also see the potential for friction between past and current players.

Those who want to stay in touch to hear about updates after P2P begins should plan on checking the News area (which hopefully will be updated more often) or awaiting email notification (you all might want to make sure your profile is current).

trippinlikegod...shows how much you know.

Look..."Vendetta is still a test" is just an old habit dying hard. It is a Beta. And it *WILL* be released soon(tm). But, there is constructive criticism and there is criticism. Please keep it constructive.
FM...I couldn't agree with you more.

God, I never realised how much I'll miss everyone. I know I dont play ingame a lot, but the IRC channel, I am on it constantly. This little community is going to go to the bins when it becomes beta, and even full version.

People have mentioned a secret IRC channel, I have been asking but no one seams really interested. I'll probably stay in contact with people like Newbie, RandomBlast, Horgrathi and Niki, but I'll probably leave #vendetta when it becomes too big.

As for the game, its way out of my price range, unless Guild allow us reduced/cheap/free access when the numbers increase I'll just have to stop playing.

Good luck Guild, and I am sure we'd all be more than happy to test any future products.

...and to all the Vendetta testers... congratulations!

Well, it's been confirmed. The recent news has some info about pricing. There it is. $9.99. This is priced more than they had originally anticipated it seems. Just a heads up, for those who wanted some official word on pricing.

FM, i agree with you, there is huge potential for conflicts between ex-players and new ones.

what i do care about a lot though: will it be possible to make "reservations" for your char in case you actually plan to come back? iow: i have my "toshiro" char now, and i want tom ake sure i can take the name back up once i start to p2p, but with the account deletion (yes, i might not be playing for that long), it's bound to be deleted.

wouldn't it be possible for beta testers to have this kind of service rendered, even if only optional? i see the problems involved (how to determine?), but i've taken a liking to my char(s).

Yes. I would love to have the name "Sage" waiting for me when I get back. It'll be sad seeing someone else flying around with my moniker.

<God, I never realised how much I'll miss everyone.>
I know. It feels like graduation :'(. I have a feeling nobody is expressing interest in the secret IRC channel because there won't be a need for until the new testers arrive. Once they do and we vets begin to long for the good 'ole days, then you'll see interest begin to spark.

<FM, i agree with you, there is huge potential for conflicts between ex-players and new ones.>
So do I. It's probably inevitable. But those of us who aren't playing really have no business talking about the game. If you want to keep in touch with the community there are a variety of sites and forums to visit. It would be nice if all the various community sites' forums merged into one unified hangout for the old testers.

We'll always have slashnet.

and we have #vendetta-betatesters on slashnet to hide in

and #vendetta-beta ;)
