- We're trying something new this time. The closed beta was relatively short, and the open beta will be relatively long. In the past we've gone live a few short weeks after going to open beta - but not this time. We're not taking New Frontiers live this month, and honestly, I don't know of a set date for launch. We're going to see how the next month goes before we decide.

- As a result of the longer open beta, New Frontiers is a lot more raw than "open beta" usually is. Please recognize that this is a beta, that this is not going live anytime soon, and that you will encounter much that is not fully implemented. If this unfinished state frustrates you or makes you angry (and it would drive me crazy, I know), please come back to Pendragon in a few weeks after we've got more done. We look forward to seeing you then.

- Again - THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT. Please be productive, submit bugs, participate in any tests you come across, and don't complain about things being unfinished during the beta. It is to be expected, and we appreciate our testers helping us with the process.
