So, when I see all the whinning from folks about not making it into a Beta, it irks me to a degree. I think if companies and players wanted to "Test" then they should have a "resume" type input to see and get the most qualified individuals to test. (And no this isn't just about UO)

I'm completely biased, having been playing actively on my oldest account for 9 years, 3 months and 7 days, and on my second oldest account for 8+ years. (I've paid for as many as 4 accounts at a time over the years).

It's not like the oldest vets get discounts or anything. (I can ride a polar bear, which is admittedly very cool, but everybody can ride SOMETHING, and it's not like the polar bear has any special powers).

Come on. Loyalty and 9 years worth of subscription payments have to be worth at least a sneak peak at KR, the biggest overhaul in the 9+ years I've played this game.

On that note, I haven't received a beta invite. Oh sad.
