    Tempting...but not sure if I want just a sampler.  It will make the next 5 months feel even longer.

    Please From if you're reading this, don't have a beta/demo. The best part about Souls is not knowing a damn thing about what could be in the area. Every treasure would be leaked, the best would be exploited, and it would be Stone Armor and Drake Sword 2.0.

    Many things in a beta are different than the actual level in the game so I am not sure this would be an issue.  I welcome a beta test to bridge to the actual release.  I want to see the actual mechanics and "feel" of the game and how they differ from the original game.

    Yeah, but wouldn't it be a much greater expirience to wait and see? For me, I'll probably keep my nose clean of new Dark Souls II news until release.

    Panda does raise a good point about spoiler info.  I might suggest that when the beta launches, someone should set up a specific thread for discussions, with instructions to keep the details there.  If people are interested, they know where to look.  Everyone else can continue to enjoy the forums spoiler free.

    I'll maybe message a mod about making this thread a sticky, would make people take notice about it. Or if people used spoilers for specifics

    There's threads about this in the Dark Souls 2 section. Also the gamescom interview that seems to suggest the beta will be to test the online more than area reveals

    I posted this in the wrong section.  I thought it was in the Dark Souls 2 section.  I will move it.  I didn't see any posts about it when I originally posted this though.

    I guess I can't move it.  The mods will have to move it over then.  Sorry.

    There's no reason to be sorry. I only mention when a thread is a duplicate so everyone here can go and join the conversation in progress.

    Also it's safe to say we're all excited

    I'm locking this thread as it is a duplicate. Use the thread in the Dark Souls II section.

    Also on that note, also remember to put things in the right place next time silly
