so after having asked about the ToS respectively between COW/CON etc and having been asked/given advice not to mention the game too much as to not overload the servers, my suggestion is that maybe its advisable to instead of having a open beta, change it into a closed beta?

Though personally I do prefer a open beta instead of closed beta, and having a lack of knowledge about internal policies (nor do i need to know), maybe steps have been put in place to prevent this, well.. To stop turning around the point;
The things is, now that is still doable to have a closed beta, it might be better to do so. Once people discover CON it will not be possible anymore and then servers will get overloaded, it will then be allot harder to roll back anything. You might expect that to happen as CON has already been mentioned on the COW forums. Closing it then or getting server overload issues will probably make the company lose allot of players.

Just something to think about/keep in mind.
I dont know, maybe I just made a weird suggestion now

okidoki, I wondered why it was open beta whilst everyone said to not mention it too much. That was contradictory, hence I posted this thread to find out why. This clears everything up, I wont mention which people said that, I dont want them to get a bad image, they where just trying their best so instead I will tell them and refer thim to the link of this thread.

That will get rid of any confusion.

Apart from that, you guys are doing a great job! Cheers!
