I heard the, potentially, fantastic news and a closed beta may open to a select few. As I understand that this initial closed beta, from what I read, is going to be focused with online and very limited people will gain access, as this is still to "work out the bugs". Even though I've played Warband for almost 700 hours and still playing it (I know people have played it more than I have), this is BY FAR my favorite game of all time...period. I'm not expecting to be a part of this closed beta, whenever that may happen. However, I hope that people that have an absolute love for this game, like myself, will eventually be able to test it out and provide their insight to the good and bad things about the game.
I know everyone in this post has been waiting a LONG TIME for this game. I'm 1000% on board with the developers taking their time (please don't make me wait another 7 years, I'm itching to play it

), as it will have less bugs and overall, the game will be a much better in the long haul (patience is a virtue).
Keep up the great work Devs!!
