Am I the only one that is still seeing this as positive?
I see it as a chance to watch a virtual world come to life, not as a pay to beta test confidence trick.
Not that I have a problem with paying to test games. I have payed for pre-alpha games in the past as a show of support for indie developers. I have no problem doing it for a seasoned development team.
Not at all, I agree totally and see this development plan as very encouraging and at least an attempt to break from the norm. It could also help development a very tight strong knit gaming community which should provide a stronger base for the game to thrive in. My favourite part of an mmo is those few initial months of exploration and by the sounds of this development plan that could be stretched out over a much longer period as the content and area gradually grows with the community to reveal new zones, locations and most likely a need to return to previous zones for newly seeded content.
