<div class="IPBDescription">The beta test forum will pwn us all!</div> If you were here durring pre-1.0 release you'd know what kind of hell we all went through.
Looks like the Devs and PT's are back up to the old "Hook, line, and sinker" plan, where they get their hooks into you with the "x.x Change log" post, stickied, naturally.
They keep feeding you lines that are picked from a careful selection of images and information regarding either:
Current status
Mouth watering "tales from the front lines" (that post had atleast 30000 veiws! [old forum, pre 1.0 release])
"Blow your head apart into little peices of gore trying to imagine it" vivid details of "features".
to keep you "into it", and to make you tell your friends.
The sinker is when they finally release it, since they cant play their game anymore; well, until next version, anyways. They then reel you in with fiiiiine graphics and play, and hit you over the head with a completly awsome gameplay change.
They then eat you like the onos will devour marines in 1.1
What other things do you think the devs put in these forums to get you to "GO CRZY"?
Have fun waiting. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
/sits back down and plays 1.0

I like that they have shown us the changelog though at least its info,
does anyone else feel like its christmas???
LOL!!!! I remember that one!
Had around... what was it? 1200+ replies or something?
added a hundred new replies everytime the PT's or devs showed up with a new story after the testing sessions...
I hope we get another one like it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Just looking at the reply counter made me feel all giddy inside <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
