Probably stealing Brad's thunder here, but hey, I work in weather, I know how to handle thunder.  ^_^

Hopefully I get in, and best of luck to you guys as well.

Lol, we will see how Brad's vacation goes. I realize that was Boogie posting on twitter, but "I'll believe it when I see it."

Frogboy posted just a couple days ago that depending on the weather at his vacation spot could move alpha a day or two either way. Still, this is a promising sign!

Is the alpha still planned to be cloth map only? 

July 30, 2009 17:59:37

*crosses fingers*

I just went out of my mind with anticipation. Just a few seconds ago.

July 30, 2009 18:03:59

Well, 7 days is august 6... wasn't announced for that date in a thread some weeks ago? Just a confirmation (weather pending).

So... how much was a ticket for the alpha again?

July 30, 2009 18:09:28

its still exciting that only a week left.

July 30, 2009 18:09:34

I finally feel like..i'm sailing on a mother fing boat!

Love your new avatar Winter - lets, see how many avatars is that for you now? lol

We could be playing EWOM in w WEEK! OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 30, 2009 18:29:58

Remember, the lucky few wont be playing E:WOM...they'll be playing a *very* rough, *very* early build of *some* of the eventual features, and it will be more like work than play, with the focus being on *testing*, not fun.

 

 

Oh my god, I almost said that with a straight face. Whoo-hoo...seven days!

Lets hope for some good HD Fraps footage by someone who gets into the alpha! That is assuming that there is no NDA.

I was about to hit you, but then you saved yourself.

Can you get into the Alpha by preordering?

Yup.

Yes, I asked Boogie about it on IRC a little while ago.

You need to have it preordered to be eligible, but the alpha is only going to have about 100 people in it. Everyone will get in for beta in September, though.

LOL I hope this is a joke - or that you handle disappointment well.

July 30, 2009 22:11:47

I look forward to hi-res MoM as well, though I suspect we'll have to wait longer than just 7 days for that.  (or a month, because MoM =/= E:WoM)  I hope that Elemental will fill MoM's shoes as much if not more than anybody else, but let us not make the mistake that they are going to be the same pair of feet.

The typical mom of someone old enough to be posting here isn't the kinda woman you want to be looking at high resolution images of.

So, have the emails giving said 100 people access already gone out or will that happen on the day the alpha version is ready?

Very good question...  and what happens if 5 people of the selected 100 people don't participate in the Alpha...  will another 5 be selected?
