Playing this eternal 'early beta' is simple and might result boring if you don't pay for testing this eternal 'early beta'.
First of all you can't count on nobody: neighbors are inactive or randomly little active, 'friends', 'guilt-members' etc. don't exist.
Therefore, you are doomed to do all by your own, and you only will have what you are producing, coins, supplies, goods and also culture (because if you're counting on the help of neighbors, you're fighting a losing battle)
And, it's not hard to do all by ones own:
You know that you're limited to 2 'builders' (you even don't need more, so you never run 'out of resources', enter in 'bottle-necks' etc. etc.)
You can easily reach (and maintain) 200% 'culture bonus', so you know, what you will produce.
Knowing what you are producing/will produce you can predict exactly when you will be able doing the next, the second, the seventeenth or thirty-ninth step.
So you can say already now for example: 'in X days exactly at hh:mm:ss o'clock I'll have all of my Y workshops at level Z', same fore houses, barracks, manufactures etc.
Being able to calculate exactly what you will 'produce' of military units, of coins, supplies, goods you can predict exactly when you will complete the next encounter (even if fighting or buying), finish the next province, get the next terrain expansion (were you can build the buildings from which you already know, what they will produce and when ...)
So, if never happens anything interesting or never anything surprising/unexpected could happen, all is calculable, interactivity is reduced on the forum saying 'its an early beta', how would you name it?
I don't want to suggest again 'boring', but it forces itself to be suggested, doesn't it?
If in exactly 1 month of 'early beta' there's not a single new feature added, only the number of 'issues' is ascending, I think those who yes have paid for 'beta testing' one day will enter in the 'no paying more status', or not, because there are always a few ones who like suffering.
And yes: yo can reply, that this 'eternal early beta' is an 'early beta', and maybe every 2 - 3 weeks start a new thread telling 'resolved bugfixes' (nobody can check it ...), whether useful and accepted by all, is something to be seen.
Best regards,
