Anyone can list the reasons why they want to join Runes of Magic Closed Beta. The housing system, the rune system, crafting system, etc. Many of these players want to join Runes of Magic to fill a void that many free to play games aren't able to fill. But it is in my essay that I state that these aren't the true reasons why one should want a beta key. Sure, these features are great -- and they certainly make me want to play this game more and more everyday, as I check my email countless times to see if I have been accepted. But it is important to understand two things before a game goes into Open Beta or "Gold". One is the fact that these beta tests should be used for just that. To TEST the game to ensure that the mechanics run smoothly and all the triggers, text, etc. are all up to par. If the game can't be tested properly, how do we expect all of the features of the game to make us want to play? Secondly, is the fact that while being in a Closed Beta, you can understand and get a feel for the community. I have sworn off MMO's because of the communities that they make. From reading the forums about this game, it seems that the community here is dedicated, and not just a bunch of players wanting to unwind in some game by badmouthing the publication team and their fellow players. I feel I have a lot to add to the community, because I know what makes players get so immersed in games. If Runes of Magic does not have this type of community involvement, the game playerbase will dwindle severely.
I have been waiting for a game like this to come out, and have not been fooled by any others that precede it (4Story and PerfectWorld to say a few). This game has great potential, and I think its player base will also have that similar potential. The game needs to get started off right, and I think I can contribute greatly. Forum posts, bug submissions, advice, etc. the whole lot.
I look forward to hearing a response from you guys, as I am very excited for this event.
