Where fore art thou beta?

Recently it was reported that Bill Fisher was quoted as saying the following about why new information on Vanguard has been so sluggish lately.

I suppose its a good thing the devs are working feverishly on Vanguard but it certainly must strike home to so many gamers waiting for their chance to get into the Vanguard beta to hear that people are having so much fun even in beta 0!

To be honest I expected Beta 1 to be up and running by now just based off the various rumors coming out of E3 earlier this year. I suppose it cant be helped though and beta must be right around the corner right?

Lets hear what you have to say on the subject. Was the beta 0 announcement too early? Is the beta 1 announcement too late?

I'd personally say that judging from the length of beta they're going for, it's still reasonable to have Beta0 going on now It's essentially the pre-beta, because they need to make sure everything works, system-wise, before putting a sizable ammount of people inside to test the content and areas. At least that's what I think anyways. I'm not holding any expectations, so when a Beta1 announcement does pop up, I'll be all the more excited

All that cash required to launch Vanguard and set up all the servers is dependent upon the Beta. Up to this point its mostly brainwork. It is at the Beta stage that games get pulled. Therefore I just want them to get it right. They can keep Beta 0 going to Christmas if required. Mind you my attitude is partly affected by my location in Europe its unlikely that I will get a look in until open beta stage.. If then.

Hehe, I think Tagad's post was awesome. He "squished the bug". Truly, brevity is the soul of wit!

PS Sorry I have been away, too many damn hurricanes. At least people in Texas are smart and are getting out of town. Hopefully flying slows down and I can spend some time at home catching up on the forums.
