Who's in the beta?

[JustAGuy]

As such I'll just wait for the release and see what the beta testers are saying before even considering buying it (I don't pay companies to beta test their games).

I was thinking about that earlier today; wouldn't it be a slap in the face if they charged us to beta test? As far as I know, the thing is free to beta test if you're selected, and pay to play for the final release. Some people would pay to beta test, and I'm not entirely sure if I would be one of them...

That was a bit of an overreaction on my part about the whole breaking in half. I would be upset for sure, but it wouldn't break me.

The thing with the beta is that you get to try it out before you buy, in addition to testing it out and having a bit of influence on balance and whatnot. If I am selected, and I really enjoy the gameplay, then hell yes, I'm going to sign up and pay-to-play. This is the only MMORPG that I have ever considered putting time into, partially because of Blizzard's reputation for quality. I guess it's company loyalty, but regardless, I figure that if there's ever a time to get into a MMORPG, now (or at retail release) is that time.
