we can never be sure of anything =\
besides, mmorpgs have changed so much over the years and are still changing.
first phase :alpha: are phases to test out major bugs by privatly selected people
closed beta: says its to test bugs to select a few number of people but in reality is just letting a massive group of people in and let them find the bugs, and stuff that needs to be fix such as grammer, applications, and glitches, etc.
open beta: gather more people and gain more popularity to advertise more and get more people playing, and to find the final few bugs before official releases
r0: ReleasedOfficially: time to make money
companies that wipe after a closed beta phase dont usually have another closed beta phase but who knows =\
worst solution i see is open beta for 7 days, then boom, r0.
