Definitely wish I had signed up for Beta now...

beta is still going, only thing thats changed is they lifted the NDA.

When I saw this thread title, I expected a picture of a double rainbow. ;)

Where did you find information that the NDA for Rise of Isengard has been lifted?

I don't see anything in the Beta Forums about it being lifted.

Oh thank all the little gods of Arda... now someone will finally make a script that will un/equip weapons and such (I hope).

Just check the public forums and you will see ;)

Lifting of the NDA
 

Apparently the NDA was lifted on 2 August, just days after the first stress test on 27 July. The announcement was made via a twit that virtually nobody in the Beta program saw.

The folks in the beta program were not notified that the NDA was lifted until FINALLY a posting yesterday evening in response to postings by myself and others talking about the fact that people were claiming the NDA had been lifted but there had been on announcement by Turbine.

Even after that response, there still is only one "hidden" Official announcement by Turbine. It was posted on 2 August, but you can only find it if you know that it is there -- it does NOT show up in the Turbine News and Announcements forum where it is posted -- very strange.

Oh well. This beta has NOT gone well for Warner Brothers/Turbine.... but that is a separate thread.
