Ok so i see alot of people want something for testing the game so my question is what do you want you all say i want something but most dont say what they want.

what could they give you that wouldn't give you an unfair advantage over new players?

gold? well whats the point any reasonable amount wont matter in the long run and you get enough from playing to afford what you need

an item? any item available for use at lvl 1 will be useless in about 15 mins

CB or ZEN? well thats how they make their money (which makes the game free for all those who dont pay)

i seen one suggestion for a way of displaying that you were in the beta this seem like a cool idea to me

so if you have a CREATIVE suggestion post it here

    I think a giant flying waffle mount would be sufficient.

    It would look awesome.

    II'd appreciate 15 Zen. That would make everyone happy, because you can choose your gift.

    That would not make me happy, I want more than 15 zen :p.

    I'm just kidding, I'd be happy with anything pretty much.

    A white tshirt with a pink heart on it or my VM and some pants/skirt would be nice.

    I guess something more suitable for the male claases tho, maybe a shirt with a skull or w/e

    I don't need anything.

    You know, PW Japan gave "zen" to players, I don't remember if it was after CB or OB.

    Me, I'd appreciate anything but I expect nothing.

    It's enough to me that I was allowed to get to test the game before anyone else.

    For al lthose who WANT something. .remember this... you WANTED to play the game enough to get in the CB early.

    i think that we should all be greatfull for just being able to do the closed beta, and being able to change how the game is developed. I think that if the developers want to reward us for that , they will on their own way. Asking for stuff is just a way of saying "me me me", with no regards to the game developers, who spend countless hours to give us a game . That is the one big problem with humanity,its allways about the me thing

    I think that it was fun playing the closed beta, i dont think i should get anything in return, but i would enjoy something, as would everybody. I dont NEED anything, but i think maybe something thats useful in pve, something that gives me an advantage to the game, but not other players. maybe a mount at lvl 10? or anything to make me move faster, sucks waitin for lvl 20 or 30, or whatever it is to get a mount. i dunno just an idea. i dont expect anything, but i would like something. :)

    Perfect final version of the game is what i want.
    Thats what we are actually testing for right now... Well, open beta characters should not be wiped. And maybe the HUD and onscreen text to get bigger on higher resolutions or change of font for more clear one? But that goes under the first sentence.

    I think they should give us each a special symbol by our name. You know how GM's have the "GM" by their name? They could maybe give us a symbol that is like "CB" or "T" for tester. I don't know.

    I know in this old game I played that the people who were in CB got a special looking cape that nobody else got that said "Closed Beta Tester" on the back of it. It didn't give any special stats or anything, just for looks.

    If people complain about not gettin a CB prize because they werent in CB (this is if we do get prizes) that is their fault. It's not like CB was hard to get into at all.

    it would be nice if we got to keep our characters and we get a bit of zen. I also like zezix's idea about having something that proved that we were a beta tester.

    How would be getting Open Beta be a prize for playing Closed Beta when people who don't play Closed Beta still play Open Beta. Your theory is off.

    Just be happy that players are able to play Closed Beta to get a glimpse of this game.

    We are happy for that, why do you have a problem with wanting us to be noticed for playing in CB? We aren't asking for uber l33t gear. Just something that shows that we played in CB, doh.

    What if everyone who wants a "prize" were to join a "Beta" guild?

    i dont know how many people would like this idea or how many people were in the beta since i never seen more than five people at once (except at launch)

    just an idea

    and yes i realize eventually beta testers will stop playing and non betas would be in the guild too
    but this is the best i could come up with so keep the ideas coming:D

    They change Archosaur to Navras or Azarath, hehe, one of my IGNs

    NPC's get renamed by a unique IGN character who played in CB. Or mob named Karmelia or Ren so we can well beat the **** out of them for exp. :D
