They have asked "us" to help them with bug testing during closed beta. Now considering the time it takes to reach end game in RFonline im expecting they will tweak exp rates. Because of this and them no doubt wanting to make people high level before closed finishes i would expect them to wipe.

Cant really have OB kicking off and a couple of lvl50 CB players owning everything (as much as id enjoy that tho).

As for MSN ask Simon, ive changed it recently.

But :( In the time you said "As for MSN ask Simon, ive changed it recently", you could have just said it, rather than wasting unnecessary effort.

And now, maybe I won't tell him your MSN, and so he shant now, until should you summon the strength to click the mouse a few times and tell him yourself.

*hmph* :angel?:

I am hated.

RE: server wipe, we'll see. Philipine game companies don't really do wipes, for example Level-Up Games didn't wipe when they went from Open Beta > Live for Ragnarok PH, the first game they brought in. MU Philippines actually let people import their characters from Mu Global, so you had level 100+ characters PKing all the lowbies for a few months >< I could be wrong though, but off the top of my head I can't think of a single Philippine game that wiped (Must be a cultural thing).

I think the best barometer though would be to see what LUG does with ROSE Online, thats their other *big* game besides RFO, it went into Open Beta last month. Whatever they do with ROSE might be what they do to RFO.

Will there be a sign up for the closed beta, or is it internal/invite only?

They still seem to be kicking around ideas about whether to let RFbase into closed beta or not. It will certainly not be open to all RFBers im sure, but it MAY be open of some, and they would let simon give out a small # of accts to some people or something.

Also I know they have some people with accounts here, they could open a forum or topic of their own and let people post, then make a choice as to who gets accounts and who doesn't.
