I always read these forums in the nack. It's very liberating and only a bit cold.Whaddya mean 'get their kit off'??? I suspect some people out there are already kitless...

Unfortunately any comedy potential that my and the related Ninja posts had was nerfed by some very thorough post event moderation..
Found bugs, you have, I would say, hmm?

Playing the alpha, no doubt!
I think the problem is clearly that the alpha is so much fun that the devs have been stuck playing it to the exclusion of their normal work duties. The game will never get finished because it's too good already!!
...finally a peek of the playing alpha:

While I agree that there will be a deluge of youtube footage, I don't think that professional sites will treat the alpha in the same way as e.g. minecraft or Godus. ED is different because the alpha is a limited release (2000 spots, something like that?) so it can't really be described as public.
There's no such thing as professional sites when it comes to games journalism. Or any sort of journalism, to be honest. It's all about leaping on the newest piece of information, and if they can draw a controversy out of it then all the better. I think Frontier are pretty aware of this, and so have been careful about any footage or shots released, making sure they're as polished as possible. The alpha looks like it'll be more graphically polished than one would normally expect.

For those who have missed it so far, there's a new "Peek of the Week" in the PBF.

It is an awesome peek as well.

Interesting

Two statments from stockmarketwire this morning, so any truth to the rumour ?...........now?

It is all over news now. And I don't think it's a rumor, it's press release by FD.
We will get alpha today if I would have to guess.
no...... have received no email, shop is still down etc. i suspect its an evil rumour, the press release being referred to is date 18th october.
Fingers crossed fingers crossed... doubly so because my little 'un is just recovering from a nasty bout of pukes and can't go to nursery tomorrow if he's still sick. So I'm praying he recovers enough for me to have the day off nurse duty tomorrow and playing ED instead
Spoiled for choice at present though - ED coming, Starbound, Trove, and now Shroud of the Avatar. Couldn't they all have spread themselves out a little bit?! I bet EQ-Landmark goes and releases alpha tomorrow too now...
