    Dude, the first 2 releases of EB1 were Beta. Remember 0.7x and 0.8x?

    No. They weren't Beta's. Thats the main reason behind the name 1.0, just so people stopped assuming because it had 0.X it was a beta.

    0.7 was explicitly announced as an open beta. 0.8 also wasn't particularly finished when it first came out, but after several patches it was stabler than most "finished" mods, so the team decided to skip 0.9, in order to ditch the beta-image.

    Oh, hell - sorry, I thought you said the first wasn't released as an open beta.

    Still, I would think they would release an open beta. After all, they would need to test out new features with the general public.

    There will probably first be a closed beta, and finally an open.

    About every programm that I ever installed was an open beta, be it a voluntary project for free like EB or a professional software that cost some hundreds €€. The difference is that only volunteer programmers were (sometimes) fair enough to label their product that way. So, forgett about "Beta" and such. Whenever EB2 will be for public download it will be in a playable version that is still far away from the final built. You might either call it "Beta" or "Final 1.0 (of 9.+)".

    so you should have asked like : " When will we start bug hunting with EB II?"

    I can answer like that : "When EB team got bored with bug hunting themselves and let us do instead of them"

    I look forward to duel bugs ASAP.

    Or do we only have that title to mock others?
