I was just coming to ask that same question. I'd like to see a board since interest is high.

Have we ever had beta boards for anything under NDA? Seems like people ask this a lot.
Well yeah, i thought the whole point of having beta boards was so people in the beta could talk without breaking nda but i guess not.

There are beta boards. On the official Rift site. Posting about it somewhere else, even in "beta" boards, is still breaking the NDA. Even if you're only doing it with other beta participants, you're breaking the NDA if you post about the game somewhere other than the approved site. The only way we'd get away with it is if we had special permission from Hartsman and crew.

So talking about the beta inside Vent with other beta participants is also NDA-Breakage?

FYI, I've set up Bat Country on the official forums (not an in-game thing, it's a forum group). You can search for groups via your profile.
I'll transfer admin to an oldie asap - it's a moderated group rather than an invite only, so I think you can request to join it (didn't want to leave it wide open).
I assume that's ok to say? It looks like you can set up discussions in the group.

I played this most of the weekend. My quick and I'm presuming non-NDA breaking comments are a) I wish I had a VIP beta key and b) I'll be buying this game when it comes out.

I've got some really high praise and some really pointed criticisms. Since me and general beta forums don't get along in the fanboy vs troll hard dichotomy I'll just have to leave it at that for now.

Overall, I'd like to say and , but I think . Also, I wish I had a VIP key and I will most likely be buying this at launch. Both statements could be made regardless of whether or not I took part in beta this weekend.

That sounds much like what I would have said about the Warhammer and SWG betas. In both of those the next stage is ... what they're releasing now ... oh shit.

Well I'll adjust it if it's NDA skirting but, in keeping with the others above me, I am going to buy the game. Unlike others I came in basically knowing zero about it since all my focus has been on Guild Wars 2.

As long as release isnt another Tortage-like experience, I'll be happy. Starter-zones a game does not make. Also, please to be giving me a VIP key someone!

See this is why we need a dingdanged forum for us to chat and then shut it down after the fact so that people not in later betas can't spy too much. Because I am dying to talk about this game.

Yeah, i even tried going to the official forums but it's impossible to have any kind of discussion there.

Arrgh. Stop making me want to buy this. It's going to be more of the same with a minor twist and be horribly underpolished, just like all the rest.
Well that didn't work. I can feel my interest growing. Sigh.

After five years I stopped playing EQ2 this past summer.
My MMOitis was rekindled as I too was in the weekend Rift beta event ... and now I'd also really like a VIP key :( Actually two, so I can play, erm test along with my SO.

This weekend killed any interest i had in cataclysm.
Late last night I took Cataclysm off my x-mas list.

The way I figure it, roughly about the time I've seen what I want with Cataclysm, RIFT will launch and I'll take a break from WoW. We'll see.

This. I figure I'll have finished the first tier of raids and be waiting on 4.1 (or whatever) when this launches, which will give me something to play during off seasons in WoW.

I had to transform back into a Human before my SO got home last night. Bad time to lose the shaver... looked like Robinson Crusoe. The way I figure it, roughly about the time I've seen what I want with Cataclysm, RIFT will launch and I'll take a break from WoW. We'll see.
This. I figure I'll have finished the first tier of raids and be waiting on 4.1 (or whatever) when this launches, which will give me something to play during off seasons in WoW. I considered doing the same, but I just cant conceive of being able to pull it off w/o a total life-meltdown. I mean, are you really taking a "break" if you just jump from WoW to Rift?? I'd say yes if this was CoH, STO, BlackProphecy, or some such, but it aint.

It was fine once I killed all the squirrels with a slingshot.

I think some of you are straddling a fine line with your NDAs. Stop.
edit: As for the whole forum here, it's very difficult to pull off. We need a) every admin/mod to have signed an NDA b) a way to verify that posters given access have signed the NDA c) the CM for Rift signs on for this.
Also, given the nature of the testing, some people may be in some testing periods and not others. Logistical nightmare.

I still don't get why people around here go full retard whenever they get in a beta.

I don't need a beta to go full retard around here, I can manage just based on some hype and my personal obsession with the golden mmorpg of my dreams that will actually never happen. In fact, I think I just realized that in this case NOT having a beta key just made me go full retard. My kink are imaginary MMOs.
