User blog:Raven's wing/Why call it a Beta?

Can someone answer me this: Why is everyone calling it a Beta test when we all know it's just going to be a multiplayer demo, as almost no-one is going to find problems, let alone report them so they can be fixed in the final game.

Which brings me onto my next question: Why all the hype? Are we that incapable of waiting another month for the release that anything that might give early play opportunities is treated as much like the Second Coming as the game itself?
