How i see the alpha thing. It is just like the paypal button i see on numerous pages around the internet. I can choose to give someone a bit of money to hopefully get something good in return. If i dont its like a few bags of candy that tasted good but are really bad for me and shouldnt been bought in the first place. Thats just what it is. A way for you to get a spot into the alpha, nothing more nothing less. It does not automaticly give you the right to dictate how the development goes. So arguing over the fact if zombies are going to be released in alpha or not is pointless. And to be honest, not a single person except the guy who takes the decision about it knows so i do not see the point. Maybe we should take the questions and put them all in the bag again and shake it a little and see if we cant get them out the correct way. Something like, ok i know theres going to be zombies in this game, i am really curious how the new ones going to look. Taking them out during beta might be a bad thing but all in all it might actually be a really good thing as well. Just imagine how much more fun the alpha will be once they are back!
