Also as the others say, I want to see what else there is for our version of DNF before I get back into the game with a renewed inner flame. Free SP reset is already amazing. The second thing is just how many people are going to be playing the game in the Beta. If there's enough attention, the game's going to be here to stay. If not enough attention is gained, then I fear the game will have trouble staying afloat and I don't want to play the game more than just very casually (aka not give loads of money to Neople).
I am worried. It is taking way too long, even the most hardcore player could very well have moved on several times by now.
And looking at their FB:ing they haven't gotten the first clue about how to actually market the game. Their posts almost never touch the actual game or their progress. And seeing as how March is almost here, I doubt they will manage to up their efforts to drag in new people.
My guess is that they are banking on the cult status of the game alone to get them players, which is dangerous when they even stated themselves that the Alpha was not really meeting the expectations.
I'll be there for the reoppening for sure, but I'll leave my wallet out of it for the foreseeable future.
