Expansion

is it true the expansion to this game is already being beta tested? And that it is AS big as the original?

And if you need beta testers... will you let us know?

Im pretty sure they will probably start working on another expansion as soon as they get the retail version running smoothly. How else do they plan to make there money? They have no monthly fee, so my guess is there will be a lot of expansions. And yes to andswer your question i bet they have started some sort of beta... not a public one thought, there are always people testing new things they plan to add etc.

Hope that answers your question somewhat,

The official word is that they start work on the expansion the day after release. I'd expect them to give the devs a bit of a break though :P Half the team will work on maintenance/bugfixes for the current version, while the other half works on the next chapter.
