Beta Hj Change

**nubious81**

well since this is no longer a award for beta players only do you think we can rename the current beta hj to specail HJ something like that i think it deffeates teh purpouse of what it means now

Why? It's like a weaker version of hyper-jump for lower-level players.

**nubious81**

no but the name of it is redundent now since everyone can have it im just saying change the name since it no longer means to beta players

**SolidRevolver**

Just think of it as the Beta version of the normal HJ, thats how I thought it was seeing as it was given out in a trial before I heard it was supposed to be Beta players only... even though it was given out in a even after Beta too wasn't it?

The way I see it Beta refers to the fact that it's a preliminary, weaker version of Hyper-Jump. I think that's actually how it was originally meant, not referring to the Beta of the actual game.

Thats what's always meant. It never was a beta item, just a promotional pre-order item. Leave it be.

No. It was originally only for us who were in the closed beta/pre-order beta. SOE changed that.

Maybe just change it to Super Jump instead of the farther advanced Hyper Jump?

LEAVE BETA HJ ALONE!!!!!111

I prefer it being the Beta version of HJ seeing as it's available to everyone now.

Was it ever ONLY for beta players? trial players get it too well either HJ beta or Mobious so I as a player who just went out and brought the game resented the fact that i paid for it and get naff all where as a trial player got it, so i think its fine now everyone can have it. as for renaming it.... why? what's the point it wont make it any different other then to yourself but surely you already know if you were in MxO Beta or not?

For the nth #$%#% time, HJ Beta is a promotional item. Dig out your preorder cards and you'll read it (I'll scan mine if I have to). Only reason people think its from Beta is because you could attach it to your beta account during the Monolith days, which would become usable when it went live. Monolith sold HJ Beta as a promotional item via preorder regardless if the person was in Beta or not, and people got it and get it every time they make a new character. All SOE has done is use it for promotional via buddy keys and trial programs, for single characters, where Monolith's was perma account wide.

That's all it is. It's a BETA PROGRAM. I'm going to go eat now and get back to work.

Preordering granted you beta access so technically everyone who had HJ beta were able to log in during beta of the game aka beta players. I am not aware of that you could buy pre-order after launch.
