Isaya said:I could not find the answer to this so I am throwing it p for grabs. Will the people who are not in pre-alpha get the notice that it has started. I know the NDA probably will not let any info into the general forums but I still hope we find out just when it will start.
The NDA will definitely not let any info into the forums, cept the VIP lounge and other VIP only forums but I don't see the harm in letting the community know when it starts.
1. It is in VR's interest to show backers that they have progressed from the initial technical development phase to the 'Pre-Alpha' phase.
2. The pledges that include Pre-Alpha will be removed, or at the very least have Pre-Alpha access removed as a perk.
3. VIPs will have gritted teeth, a smug look on their faces and a statistically improbable number of 'sick days' off work!
So, yes: It is highly likley you will know when Pre-Alpha begins!
Evoras, checks his 'sick leave' entitlement .....
