Legends of Norrath Beta

[Syndic]

Is there going to be a Beta app for people who didn't make it to Fan Faire?  I mean I would have gone but the plane fare from Australia was a bit out of my reach. I'm really excited by LoN, since I was a M:tG fan from long ago, actually the only thing that broke my Magic addiction was a game called EQ <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Im just glad they are adding a game into EQ2...and its gonna be better then gems! Sure eq1 will have it too but that will make it easier to play with someone.

and I read that the beta were expected to last 6 weeks or something. Damnit! I WANT IN NOW!

<p>I do think it a little unfair that people are being allowed to join beta just because of a geographical accident of where they happen to live.  Fan Faire is completely out of reach for the vast majority of players.</p><p>But...c'est la vie.</p>

<p>I have not played MTG for about 10 years. There were several reasons I quit: broken cards, too many expansions coming out to compete against rich people and the primary one was the whole "Your effect fizzles because I sacrifice him to generate his own special effect" crap that made the game pointless. I look forward to this one, it looks pretty cool.</p>

I think it has more to do with willingness to spend lots of money and your vacation time on a trip to what is at its most basic lvl a Confrence, or if you want to spend that time and money(a lot less money in some cases) on a vacation closer to home.
