I love how so many questions equate to, "We've discussed this, but no decisions have been made." WAR was supposed to be a great game and had potential in early beta. Everything went down hill once they announced the additional cities were to be cut. Shortly after the Mythic leadership floundered and whomever was "leading" there was so off course that the resources were wasted on lack-luster projects and additions.
Once again, I truly hope that Mythic plays an extremely minor role in the Bioware MMO and any future MMOs. The company has proven to be out of touch with their customer base and incapable of prioritzing changes that would have benefited the community.
Never again will I waste my time participating in a beta for Mythic. The developers in beta were so swayed by certain beta testers that anything they posted became fact and obviously the numbers were never confirmed. You can see that from release with class imbalances that persist to this day.

Yah I have to agree - the Beta was simply awful.
I was also in the Euro one (GOA.. argh) and the lead beta manager there was a borderline emotional smorgasbord with zero interest in doing anything but conveying company messages from the US.
Most of us from the first intake weren't around after about a month due to our foreheads bleeding..
