Uhm, I don't think you're allowed to tell anyone about your
impressions of the game:

"You agree not to disclose or provide the Product, documentation, or
any related information (including the Product features or the results
of use or testing) to any third party, for a period of one year
following receipt of the Product or commercial release of the Product,
whichever occurs first. However, you may disclose confidential
information in accordance with judicial or other governmental order,
provided you shall give Microsoft reasonable written notice prior to
such disclosure and shall comply with any applicable protective order
or equivalent."

No biggie on the DL. Too bad about the fileplanet. When they only
offer that for a DL service I consider the offer to be void. Screw
fileplanet and all their kind. As a result of this I consider the game
to be already dead.

But that's just the way I am.

There are things I expect of a game company that wants my money.
I don't get what I want, such as a trouble-free DL, they don't get my
money or my good will.

Is this a diablo clone?

What's with all the Diablo clones? Beyond Divinity, Divine Divinity,
Dungeon Siege 2, etc. When will we be able to play a game without
having to smash the mouse button or have 20 speed *in my out of game
persona* to play? If I want to play a quick character, let it be the
character (and not me) who's quick.

Ya. Dungeon Siege was pretty, but you could basically walk away from it
and let the game play with it self....pretty masturbatory if you ask me.

An open beta with an NDA? How odd.

I imagine it's there mainly to stop magazines and online publications
from using it as any kind of 'official' beta-test/demo, given that it's
an *open* beta, and therefore any and all information one could glean
from it is, in principle, publically available anyway...

.... aside from the fact that, as worded, beta-testers can't even talk to
*other* beta-testers about it, which is patently daft.

* WARNING * In the readme file it lists a host of graphics card
problems ranging from minor glitches to lockups at startup. Radeons
and Matrox owners steer well clear of this Beta. Its multiplayer only too.

I couldn't agree more. But every single time I've gone "FilePlanet only?
Screw that then!", the demo in question has been released to the world
at large a few days later. Looks like FilePlanet's sack of cash is only
enough to buy first dibs, not a genuine exclusive.

Cheers!

Maybe I'll look for it in that context.
