There is only one issue with the "everyone else" part. The Alpha and Eurogamer key holders represent a very small portion of people who will be testing the game. Eurogamer keys I'm guessing there were only a few hundred given out, and mostly to the press who were attending the event. The amount of people in the alpha test was also very small according to relic.

Having a beta that anyone can get into by pre-ordering is not an exclusive thing at all. It allows far more people to get in right away because all they have to do it pay for the game they were probably going to buy anyway. Limiting the initial testing to a small group of people who attended exclusive events is what would limit the testing pool.

What feedback? You mean like on the alpha forums that were not even working back then? People who have already put down 60-100 dollars on the game have done a lot more to support the game as opposed to taking part in a short lived stress test.

Alpha and eurogamer keys still get in, just a few weeks later. If it matters that much all you have to do is pony up some cash and support the developers.

Sounds fair to me. If I paid for pre-order this is what I would expect. I guess true CoH supporters have preordered the game anyway by now.
