Lets put this in perspective and I'll add that I respect all the crazy work they have done for this game.
Now is -not- the time for break. At all.
They decided for an open beta release that is too early. I personally would have been against it, knowing the state of the game.
It doesn't matter what you call the release, for most people out there, this is "the" release of Renegade X, call it whatever you want. And the release is not in an ideal state. It crashes quite a bit, and there's pletny of problems that can ruin someone's experience. Even early on, I got a bunch of people whine about speed hacks and say the game was trash. Thats a problem taht only existed in the early days.
My point is, the game is out. The people are out on it and this is the time for the game to get up on its feet properly, as quickly as possible. The longer it takes to reach a more commonly acceptable state, the more players we'll lose.
It was unfortunate that they didn't just increase the size of the closed beta to test everything properly or something. Maybe the broken release is inevitable given that this is a free game. But I think if we care about the health of the game, we need to get the big stuff out of the way quickly.
I'm personally not asking it just for me, I'm saying its the best for the game. Hopefully the later "true" release will bring more players, but I can't help but think that every day the game is in its current state, some players are lost. And this game exists to have people playing it. I mean, a multiplayer project needs players, that is the whole point. Thats why the timing of a release and how its handled is so important, even if its free.
This is just my perspective. I don't actually have any doubts they are working as hard as they can, by the way.
tumbs up to this lol with the hacks going on its putting people off from coming back on this game
