I assure you, there will be information leaks. You can`t know who`s really responsible. My humble opinion is that you should only test it internally.

Plz, don`t pick me BTW.
We need additional people to test it. We will pick people we think we can trust - but if they leak something, well, worse things happen at sea. We'll do as best we can though.

It makes sense to us at the stage we are at. We have a lot of members, but they can't spend all their time making content as well as playtesting things thoroughly. So we bring in maybe 5 folks or something (that's a guess; I've no idea how many it will be really, it could be more) to do some very active testing for us and they get to start playing the new build a little early and let us know what things still need help. If you don't like the "beta" title, we still haven't gotten to 1.0, so the build is still a beta from our point of view.
