@specter other races can't use this tech ? so if i kill someone with a steampunk mount, i can't use the mount, only sell it?

@jairone i agree. im not even complaining since im only rank 20, i wasn't supposed to be in first wave, and i hope you all right its just an issue of who will help the most in this part.
but i seen this happens once, twice, again and again, AO was supposed to be the new cool thing 3 years ago when i played it, and it was amazing for a while, but then the favoritism came, and slowly, every patch we seen that the developers stop listening to most players, and only listening to the "round table", and now its a shit game with about 3k people playing it.
i like the idea of fractured, i think it can be the best new MMORPG around, but i started to see some old behavior from the developers, im might be wrong, i hope im wrong, but it all seems so similar, they started to change stuff base on 1 player opinion, they speak less with the community on forum, and starting to go to less popular channels like discored and so on...

@esher if you right then all good, but in my eyes it's hard to defend this decision.
i see many like @Kralith said that since i have complained, its good they didn't choose me, in my eyes, this is what is wrong in the gaming industry, developers punish people that complain, and do not take their words in mind... this how game lose players. this is favoritism. the developers favor people that just says like them, and not by objective assessment(by rank for example).
maybe you right and in this is not favoritism, maybe they choose people that talked to them in discored and they know they hardcore QA that can check the base game core, maybe, i hope this is the case.
but since no one told us why some been choose above other, with no apparent reason, im am raising the red flag of favoritism, in the hope that if the developers sees it, they will take that in mind.

I'm raising a concern, non of the things you said changed my mind, several list @Gothix ? Any one can write stuff that people like, or write a lot of nonsense post all over forum. What is fair @Kralith ? taking the 10 active by rank, people that spend much time in publish the game. And no it doesn't matter if after 2 weeks there will be more people in, this way is definitely not fair, and speaks a lot on how a company consider her players.

Any case I do not care getting in to the pre or not, my idea of the game had changed a lot in the past 2 month, this decision just make it stronger.

I have the founder pack, I fought to upgrade after the pre, just to make sure I like the game, I think I will stay in what I have now, and hope that in 2 years the game will be how I fought it should be in the start and not how I feel it going now.

Any case, I do not want to talk about this anymore, I will not reply in this post anymore, good night all, and hope u have fun.

@lohen the issue is the favoritism, i have been in enough games to see it happens all over, it start in choosing someone over just because you like his posts better, and then it grow to hearing only a select few of players, no matter, how much your game go down.
good example will the the "round table" in Albion, a selected few that the developers listen only to them, drove the game to the ground but made a few players happy.

and you can look on it in a different view, the developers don't really know the players, they just know how much did they contributed to this community, and how they know??? they know by how rank the player is, how many weekly's he won, how much he published the game, and how much he was active in forum, all that is in the rank. its true that some was active in the past but now they not, but its easy to check it.
and you can't say one will be better tester then other since you do not know the people... i for example worked in this filed in the past, for several years, done QA for games and big server, but no one ask that...
im rank 20, and it was fine by me to to not get first wave since only 10 got it, but if someone lowered rank got it, then i ask why? why would someone that is active same as me, just little bit less got in front of me, and if its favoritism, then it make me worry.

@specter you have been hand pick them ? its not the 10 most active by rank ?
im rank 20, and super active, if someone that is lower then me in rank got in before me, that will make me mad, it sound very unfair.......
for example @Gothix is rank 28 and super active too, same as me, if he would have got the invite before me, it will be very unfair, and annying....

@specter hahahahhahaha OMFG I hope to get it !

@specter thanks for the update, it's important for us, or at least me

@gothix. I do not mind demon get disadvantage... I do not think things should be equal for all.

its seem ok to me right now, good can't do FF in beast and human worlds, only in demon the FF is on.

i hope the alfa 1 start in dec since the pre alfa havn't started yet, it might be all delayed.

welcome hope you enjoy

@benseine same...

22/11 still no invite it didn't start? or i wasn't invited ?

updated the second topic i made about fractred, and got to 900 views.

@specter cool thanks.

i think all travel good should be with players, otherwise you lose the danger effect.

@logain i fought @Prometheus said it will be till release ?!?

@tulukaruk im wondering can we breed a tamed animal?

I think a players run mail, is great, as long as there is a contract system, and it's not trust base.
