Ok, my bad. ;\) When I heard they were beta testers I assumed just that. So they are more of a focus group, but one would think LDW would require BFG to work under a NDA.

Well the bad apples I'm referring to are the ones who leaked the game two weeks ago, and even created a cracked version. \:o I was not saying anyone in this thread was one of the bad apples; just pointing out my view of that group is not too high due to the above mentioned bad apples. But if these comments are from someone from the BFG focus group, then I do see that as a problem.

I'm not saying everyone should blindly follow anything; just that I believe the standard you are judging the game on is faulted, IMHO.

I will simply follow Forrest Gump and say, "and that's all I have to say about that."

Enjoy.

NDA.

Beta testers for LDW signed a Non Disclosure Agreement. Essentially, no details of the game would be leaked before full release and details of the actual beta testing would remain confidential.

Not just LDW Arnie. Every company I have ever tested for requires them as well. Even a few focus groups I have been involved in required them.

Right. First off we are paying customers and allowed our opinions. Arnie - I do not like your attitude.

I am happy overall with VV2 - it has been MUCH anticipated. However, like I said before, not everyone will be pleased with every aspect. This is a forum for people to discuss that : the good , the bad and the darn right ugly!! Arnie, I'm sure that many other people will have used the time warp cheat. I'm not the first and certainly wont be the last. I used it soley to get a feel fot the game before starting it properly. I also don't have time to sit on my PC for days on end and I like to check in and out of my village. I don't believe in cheating thru the whole game - it is a total waste of money if you do that! I was having the conversation with LADY EMZ about bits of the game that she wasn't happy with - and trying to see if i could help. It didn't warrant an attack from you! Many thanks

Hmmm...might be time to end this discussion before rocks and boulders start to fly. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the game, but this is turning into opinions about each other. \:\)
