They said open beta will end in early Dec. Correct?

I am kind of confused really.

Isn't the whole point of having an open beta to allow anyone in?  i.e.  "open" beta?

Or does open Beta start in early Dec?

Im pretty sure...for something to end... it has to start first.

Not and have any form of high quality stress test and time to fix the issues that would pop up in  time. Folks apparently have forgotten that stress tests are critical to a game's success, and its pretty obvious that darkfall has less than a 1000 testers at the moment.

You need at least 5 - 10k testers for a good stress test, and I think most of us who arent drinking the Koolaid will admit they have FAR far fewer than 1000.

Lets say they start the test Monday.

That gives them 5 weeks to get the folks in, get the client dled, registered etc. Test the content, find the bugs, implement fixes, test fixes, release fixes, etc. That is of course assuming that they are planning on keeping with the  december deadline.

You responded to the above with that... Yes I understand open betas are usually 2 - 3 weeks long, but usually they are run after a lengthy and populated closed beta test...which, its painfully obvious darkfall hasnt done.

why is that a problem?  didnt seem to help AoC and WAR out that much.

and they have actually had a lengthy closed beta test....though populated is a vague term so you may have to be more clear with that.
