wouldn't expect some for a long time, would expect to see cheaters ... just because its what they do.

I have to agree with camslice. Releasing the day after such a massively popular game as STARCRAFT 2 is not that good as far as idea goes. Delaying 1 week would give ns2 the attention it needs to get preorders and get moving. But I am very happy that an alpha is going to playable!

It's not a release, it's an alpha. Presumably if you SE preordered you're a pretty diehard fan, and it this point it's mostly testing to get out the bugs anyhow. It's not like they're worried about low population in early alpha. In fact, they're limiting their population on purpose to keep testing at a reasonable scale.
Oh man... 1 hour left and I have to go to uni... this absolutely sucks!
Congratulations to the team on this milestone of sorts. I hope that you have extralevels installed and have leveled up thickened skin. To this community: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvkOghOCpFI" target="_blank"> CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM</a> -- this will be by far the most important thing.

It just seems like more people would hear about NS2/it would get a bit more publicity if it was not overshadowed by such a big game. Though I know I'm telling everyone who will listen about it.

Hello I bought the special version of NS2 for some time, but now when I try to play the alpha steam is giving a speech error in which the alpha is only for those who bought before (pre-order), I wonder what I should do to this to be resolved.
My copy just updated on steam, and now says "initialization error" NS2 Is only available to people who pre-ordered the special edition, in the mean time you can still use the tools. I do not understand because I did get the special edition :P Its prob just the servers overloaded but hopefully I'll see you guys tonight in game!

Bring it onnn!!!
Thanks to the unknown worlds team, this is a great milestone and I think you for allowing us to be part of your Alpha. I know it must be hard to release work that isn't finished when so many people are ready to use any flaw as a reason to attack you.
I love being a part of a games evolution and watching it slowly get better over time. You gave me so many great hundreds/thousands of hours with NS1 (before combat mode started taking over all servers - sigh) and I thank you for that with my pre-order.

The DLC can be used for anything. Yes, the Armor, but also Mods.

Can't wait!

I cried a single, manly tear.
Thank you.

In the immortal words of KFDM...

Glad to see this is finally being released, even in alpha form.
I'll do my best to provide feedback, very excited!
