I agree with most everything bluish says, about being realistic and patient and that there's other stuff to do... and the fact that NS2.0 is out there, perfectly playable and still fun n' all... or any other mod for that matter (*ahem* SvenCoop rocks *ahem*)
but t'ain't necessary to go to such extremes as to ask ppl to not post about 3.0 release dates... I mean, they're still gonna do that... so when they do, just ignore those posts... unless you don't want to... who cares? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

When you donate money to Constellation, that's it. The beta testing has been given to use consties as a <b>gift</b>, as thanks for donating. We didn't pay to test, we just donated money to help NS live just that little bit longer.
I'm sickened, to be honest, to hear of people not donating because they don't think they'll get to test 3.0 for long / at all, and sickened that people are complaining that their money's been taken and they've recieved nothing in return. While the latter case i can kind of identify with because it may seem a bit rude, but Flayra's a busy man, and you have to take that into account. As for the money going "down the drain" or "wasted" because you donated and recieved nothing..... you suck. Seriously. As MrMojo so nicely pointed out, a donation is a gift, nothing more. With the former case, if you're unsure if you'll get to test or not, who cares. Donate anyway. It's a nice thing to do, and if you play this game a lot, it shows your gratitude.
You guys go and spend $50-70 on a game, beat it in a week and barely touch it again, yet you're afraid to donate $20 to play a game which some of us get hours worth of play <b>every day</b> out of it. I tell you, $20's a freakin' bargain.
I'm not saying you have to donate, i'm not saying you're a bad person or an ungrateful **** for not donating, but NS doesn't fund itself, and if you really enjoy the game, it's a really nice gesture to give something back.
