Gandalf: It is a "more than a one month" game, in that you apparently have to wait "more than one month" after you purchase it, for the devs to render it playable.

While that's happening, Stardock thoughtfully encourages you to explore their interactive adventure, "Adventures in Betatesting!", an exciting massive multiplayer for fans and ex-fans of the game, that Stardock actually plays with you.

It has immense replayability for potentially years to come, as you get to help Stardock magically transform broken and absent lines of code into a working game, right before your very eyes.

So it's really 2 games for the price of one.

Well at least you apparently get ONE FULL YEAR of FREE updates and patches.
So I guess as long as they get it working before that year is over then people wont be able to complain TOO much.

Playing with the devs is usually a benefit of being in a beta-test group. Im not sure how well that will work with an open beta like Elementals to play in every game. But there are people here who have espoused the wonderful benefits of a fully open beta where the devs can suffer the slings and arrows of their loyal and caring fanbase. I am sure that polished company such as StarDock will be showing us the right way to do such things just as they led the way to a download system that all of the small game companies will (or should be) duplicating soon.
