meh, i was in beta.. not for long.. but still. I never got my account transfered so im just tagged nonbeta.. I don't really care about items... but that jump, man do i want it :-p

Personally, I have no real interest in a baseball cap... well, other than for the collectors value. That said, I guess it will be nice to be recognized for the (admittedly minimal) time I've spent on the test server.

Also, I'm not even a Beta player, but I think making Beta clothing tradeable is a mistake.

I'm still not completely sold on the CR, but if the features have been locked anyway (hopefully just for the time being) it might as well be made live. No better way to test balance than to have the whole community banging at it instead of the select few who use the test server at the moment. ... once again though, I hope certain aspects of the CR *cough toomuchclickingandlackoftactilefeedback cough* are given another look after it goes live.

**EndlessVoid**

I never got my beta jacket. I've got the rest of the stuff.
Finally, I'll be able to complete the outfit.
... Besides, beta clothing was ALWAYS eventually going to be tradeable.
It's not like this is a new and sudden development. SMILEY

Thank God.

Finally, my female characters will get some black glasses.

**RemagDiv**

Yeah, I don't understand why beta clothing is going to be tradeable. Now any random person can trade and wear it.

Baseball cap is a nice gift for some QA testing, although can we have the option to wear it backwards? SMILEY

**ManicV**

Please don't make beta clothes tradeable. The exclusivity of the clothes will be lost entirely when any beta player can make a temporary alt, hand over the beta clothes to a non-beta player, and then delete that alt. SMILEY

**Fen**

Meh... it's only clothing. Everyone knows who was in Beta and who wasn't. I don't think some noob with the clothes will make any difference. Besides, like I said, it'll be nice to have black glasses for my female alts.

~Fen

As a side note, no I wasn't in Beta, I missed it by one day. I can see where you all are coming from with the clothes, but honestly... Why would someone say they were in Beta when they weren't? There's nothing to gain from it. And, in case you all have forgotten, there's one thing you guys got that NO ONE will ever have... the Eyepocalypse.

please don't make the beta clothes tradable. I like that we're all gonna get baseball caps but to take away the exclusivity of being an actual MxO beta tester from before the game went live is a slap in the face to all those people still around who have stuck through the good and bad times of this game. Everyone will have beta clothes even noobs 2 years from now will be wearing beta clothes and claiming that they helped back in the first beta. no....that's completely not right. Give everyone a hat and be done with it. Everyone will like the hat nad not complain but getting something for 2 hours of pvp on the test server that people had worked months for before the game went live is completely disrespectful.

**Frink** · 03/03/2006 23:25:36

So instead of rewarding Beta players who spent more time on MxO than anything, you would rather make the clothes treatable, and worth a lot of info on the market, instead of simply adding the lost item to the rightfully owned Beta player? This is totally unfair to us Beta players, we have not received a gift which is outstanding.

I also hope we will get more than just a Baseball cap for reporting in bugs constantly over the past month or two. I mean I just don't see the developers showing the respect which the people who give good feedback and doing a job for the developers on their own free time deserve more than just a piece of clothing.

It is just disrespectful to people from MxO Beta and/or the EP Testers who stick through the bugs and report back to help improve the game/product.

an·ni·ver·sa·ry (

)
n. pl. an·ni·ver·sa·ries

The annually recurring date of a past event, especially one of historical, national, or personal importance: a wedding anniversary; the anniversary of the founding of Rome.
A celebration commemorating such a date.

[Middle English anniversarie, from Medieval Latin (di

s) annivers

ria, anniversary (day), from Latin, feminine of annivers

rius, returning yearly : annus, year; see at- in Indo-European Roots + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn; see wer-2 in Indo-European Roots.]

we are also going to push the Anniversary Event back by one week.

ROFLOL.

Typical.

On the beta clothing? It fits with the "anniversary" idea. Remember November 11th release date? Now they are pushing back an "anniversary" date? lol :smileyvery-happy:

What do they care about beta players, and showing them concern, when they've trashed all of our work in the current game redesign. The beta clothing just fits with their mindset . . .

And a cap? A baseball cap?
I remember Neo running around with a baseball cap 24/7 with his friend Morpheus who had dreadlocks and to his left: Mr. Lock who is in love with Neo and... and... and... and they all wear baseball caps... SMILEY

Caps are so matrix!
Well, nvm but dont make beta staff tradable.
btw: Do you remember a toon called HyperjumpBetaSeller? Thats the MxO thank you to all the preorder players and now MxO is going to say thank you to all the beta players SMILEY

**Fen**

lol Baseball caps were supposed to be in the game a LONG time ago... back when they introduced non-buffed bandannas in the game. Besides, don't you find it rather ironic that the symbol for a hat is a baseball cap, and there not actually be any wearable baseball caps in the game?

**Aquatium.**

Thanks for the update! I actually agree beta clothes shouldnt be tradeable like that.....and i dont have any...however that wont stop me getting the red shades SMILEY
