Only a problem if per say those kind of people thought they deserved to be on the list more then other people X( little boy.

All and All I guess it doesn\'t really matter who they pick aslong as the work gets done, and the project moves on.

Thinking about that gave me the idea of you releasing it in stages, like gmail....

I already have CB Madness! - I am going crazy & have a joyous sinking feeling because I know it is very close, but that I have to wait another 2 to 4 Weeks or more...

It\'s like \"Ya, I can Finlay play CB in 2 Weeks\" & then \"I have to wait 2 Weeks to play CB...\"

but actually I do not really mind much because the phone company cut my cable line & now they said that we will not be able to have cable anything until some time in October so now I am on free netzero Dialup... (AArrrrgggg..... ) sorry...

OT: Does anyone know any other free internet I could use that is available in Mid-West USA?

as long as CB gets public quick I\'ll be happy.

I like planeshift at the moment but it\'s plain dull and we realy need fighting and so on with monsters.

And also I want those Big Swords :D  :]

I don\'t mind the whole closed alpha idea...
but I\'m not sure about the consecutive closed alpha idea...

One closed alpha makes sense, it\'s a privilege and a reward to loyal fans, so let them enjoy it.

Why the hell do they need to make another group?
Is it going to go in groups of 15 until all 250k+ accounts have been assimilated into CB? How many groups are they planning on making? It could be a very long time before commoners get to play CB if this is the case.

OT: I have Gmail... no idea what to do with a whole GB of storage though.

No, the point is that with allowing groups in at a time, they can find the bugs easier. AFAIK, there\'ll be one more group after this one, and then if all goes well then it\'ll be public to everyone.

The accounts aren\'t transfered.  Only gemstones will be, and that\'s an \'if\'.
The next group will be roughly 20 people.  Probably remaining GMs and Mods, and if there\'s room, oldbies and famous forum/irc personalities.

Xordan cleared up my misunderstanding, there will only be two groups if all goes to plan? This is good. Thankyou Xordan.

You misunderstood me Monketh. Sorry. What I meant, was until every account holder had his/her turn at being a closed alpha tester, I am under no illusions that the accounts will be transferred. Thankyou for taking the time to correct me, sorry that you thought you had to, I should be clearer in future.

I\'m VERY glad that the alpha test groups are starting small. You can\'t count the number of times we\'ve crashed the server so far. :) Imagine the chaos if the entire community were trying to play...

You mean imagine the chaos if the entire community (+ the others that just want to check it out) tried to create a character. (Internal joke... Character creation kinda makes the server go *pop* right now, and noone really knows why.) :)

hm... Wasn\'t there a way to ask everyone to post bug reports only in one thread, so the people have chance to read what was before them, and not to post any repeats?
