It might stir up some shit, good or bad! :P Seriously, the NDA is kind of a joke at this point anyway. The game is launching in weeks and they are so happy with their product that they're inviting tens of thousands of new pre-order customers to their beta... What's the point of an NDA right now? I refused to visit that certain beta leakage site for a long time but when I recently checked it out, I was shocked to find that most of the feedback was positive and the posters gave so much better information than the current beta boards. Mythic has been really firm with how the beta forms are managed (what is postable... where it's postable... etc.), and rightly so, because they need to be able to get good feedback from all the noise, but the resources on the "evil" site are just amazing atm. Seriously, are they really going to be making any huge changes at this point? "Here's our last round of changes everyone! Ability X now does -0.005 damage. Thanks for your help in testing this out!"
