I'd like to add:
1a. If there is an open beta will the server be wiped afterwards?
Just want to clarify before wasting time playing a class I won't want to play in live and for those who don't want to waste time for a wipe etc.

Current plan is to go live straight from closed beta.

probably alot easier for me to say this seeing as im in closed beta but i dont think trying to get a date for closed beta rushed out is the way to go, closed beta needs as long as it needs to get a majority of the bugs fixed if they went live with it to soon and still loads bugs every 1 would still moan then. and im not saying when its gone live there will be absolutely no bugs at all thats just not possible.

I agree with this guy, we're still finding bugs etc everyday wether big or small.

Agreed, but things could be sped up a little by making that leveller NPC a little better. I really don't want to sound ungrateful as I was 1 of the lucky ones not only got into beta but also was picked to be in. I'm trying to do as much testing as possible to earn that selection but have probably spent half of my time in the beta leveling characters and afk lvling skills.

Leveling the Assassin normally was worth the time invested, I'm now leveling a Warrior on the same content so don't expect to find any new bugs.

I have also said this needs to be done, and i have NO idea in the world why they won't, lol.

Archer/Tao seem to be fine, can go all the way up to KH in shop kit at lvl 33 np.

Would be good too go Open Beta in order to give everyone an idea of the game before jumping into Live.

Otherwise you havea number of players with a distinct advantage.

we're still learning ourselves my friend, some things have changed dramatically such as maps, WT for example is not going to be what you all expect!

Tbh it would make sense to open beta since you can balance things around a large group of players rather than 10-15

Imo it makes sense to have a open beta before you even think about going live, thinking that after you've added 2 new classes and having a closed beta with what 20 people testing that your be covering the majority is a big risk. Keep it professional imo and don't rush the release and have an open beta for everyone to have a opinion rather than the select few, will save you lots of hassle in the future.

I agree with an open beta, even if you wipe afterwards and it only lasts a week

Maybe just boost the exp during this time so people level a little quicker, and make skills easy to level.

The closed beta players will have tested the lower content and skill lvling side of things.
