Hi Thomas, That is excellent news. Might I ask, however, is this the BETA 1`, I.E., the one that fixes bugs in BETA 20, or the BETA 21 that will be more or less BETA 18 in an up-to-date state? Ah well, as you said, stuff happens.

If Thomas were to set up some kind of private team, this would limit the number of people that could help with the beta. From my personal perspective, offering the game to a private team would really! cut down on the amount of enjoyment a player could get. As I said in an earlier email, I've spent well over 24 hours playing beta 18, and it hasn't gotten old. Just my personal opinions, John. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Shane Davidson" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 6:58 PM To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Development setbacks > might I suggest you release to the private beta team before going public? > Just a suggestion. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Thomas Ward > Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 4:35 PM > To: Gamers Discussion list > Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Development setbacks > > Hi, > > No kidding.
