That....that right there, is a terrible...terrible way to do a beta. If thats the stage they are at right now and plan to release in effectively 2 months time, I'm sad to say I can only see one outcome for STO

That how most beta's start, so you're completely wrong.
Small group, focusing on specific events, short play times to check a large amount of logs instead of stupidly massive logs.

Eventually once the core is done, increased play times, more general updates and moving onto stress tests.

I am fully aware of how most betas start, small timeframes restricted to small numbers. However we are not talking about the start of a beta for a game thats 9 months away, we are talking about 2 months. If this is the stage that the beta is at when its 2 months from release then thats a bad sign in my books.

Of course though, no doubt I will be shown to be talking out of my posteria and it will in fact be a smash hit quality MMO.

But you are also assuming it's actually released on those dates.

At this point in time, I would be pretty confident that we can review this thread at the start of Feb and find that its still the same date, give or take a week.

Maybe thats what we should do. I'll bookmark the thread now and we'll come back at the start of Feb and see what happens
