• • Pirates of the Caribbean Online: CES Update

  • I was in the same boat as Vandelay.  I didn't know better when I first started playing - back when it first launched.  They've covered that now in the tutorials and hints.    Which is great to know that they are listening to feedback.

• • General: Hardware Report - CES

  • Heh.  You didn't think it would be full force impact?  If it were, I would have been writhing on the floor with pain, not writing about how cool it was.  The impact was akin to a firm touch.

  • UPDATE:

    Some clarification on the later stages of beta where they will be inviting many, many more players to test their game:  http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=51002 in a wide-scale beta

    Quoting Shannon Drake - Funcom CM:

    Looks like there was a miscommunication/misunderstanding at the show.
    
    We are planning to have an open beta for the game as we get closer to launch, however, it will be through specific partners and require an application/registration process, much like most of the other betas for most other games.
    
    We will be limiting the number of keys we release to a manageable number at any given time, rather than subjecting people to queues and loading screens and so on. By "a manageable number," we mean tens of thousands, not just a handful.
    
    We’re also ramping up some of our tech test betas, and, of course, we’ll be doing key giveaways, inviting forum veterans, and inviting more people to the current, closed stage of beta as we ramp up for launch.
    
    So, yes, there will be a wider-scale open beta, but it will require an application/registration process and won’t be as simple as “press button, get key,” which is what we wanted to say.

    They are calling it "open" if that helps.  ;)

     

    {Edit}  Bah, I'm stupid with tags here.  hope the color change helps.
