I've been wondering how many Alphas are still playing. Many of the people I met in the first Beta are around, but not sure how many old timers are still wandering the streets of Ur.
shhexy corin checking made me go back & look.
Wow, coming up to my 2 year anniversary too!

Happy/sad memories of rare limited open times and missing chances to play. But the parties before it closed again (often for weeks at a time) were always cool.
I still play once in a while (April 2010 Alpha here!), but I find there's not a whole lot for me to do once the quests are done. I have limited time to play, so the forced group activities get a bit tedious when I just want to hop on for a half hour. I just end up harvesting my trees, feeding my piggies and logging off most of the time. I was so pissed when they brought out the icon quest less than a week when I finally went through the arduous process of making one. Do another one? No thank you. :-/
Wish the house mods would launch soon...that would give me something to do. *shrug*
@Tradescantia - Problem is that not all Alphas got a yeti - especially the really late ones. You had to be in at the end of December - any Alpha in 2011 didn't get one.
@Green Meanie & @Tradescantia: I was an April 2010 alpha and I don't have a yeti either. Was a quest that was only good if you played Xmas eve, I believe. Because I was enroute to Xmas with the family when the quest was happening. Thus = no Yeti. *sad face*
@blogkitten - no, I got my invite somewhere between Christmas 2010 and New Year's. They had this thing where if you said a particular word in Global you'd get a Glitchmas present, and that was the Yeti.
Yep, me too...Late Alpha since 10 Mar 2011/5 Doom 0013 (another FS refuge)...don't really play much anymore (mostly just log in to harvest/feed piggies and maybe gather a few items)...waiting for all the 'big updates' before I start playing more...right now have all the skills done that I want, and don't have much desire to level up or get more currants until we know what the changes will be.
I was a very, VERY late Alpha! I played for one hour, the test closed. When the game opened up again we were in Beta! :) (I don't consider myself an Alpha but I got the 200 credits from TS for being an Alpha).
Funny.. all this time I thought I was a Beta.. but I guess I am marginally an Alpha.. I have determined this only by virtue of the fact that I received "A special gift for alpha testers" on Apr 13, 2011, 20:25 PST (200 credits) sooo.. just barely :).
FS orphan too.. I am so hopeful about the new "housing" :) I miss Travinara.. Hitting L45 tonight :) Love this game!!!
