Bring Back Beta [Petition]

Beta
Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. It generally begins when the software is feature complete. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release and this is typically the first time that the software is available outside of the organization that developed it.
The users of a beta version are called beta testers. They are usually customers or prospective customers of the organization that develops the software, willing to test the software without charge[1], often receiving the final software free of charge or for a reduced price[2]. Beta version software is often useful for demonstrations and previews within an organization and to prospective customers. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, prototype, technical preview (TP), or early access.[3] Some software is kept in perpetual beta?where new features and functionality are continually added to the software without establishing a firm "final" release.

[1]:
Just telling ya, fail.
[2]:
You see? Beta members are getting rewarded. Lold there..
[3]:
That´s what beta in EE should be, prototype technical preview or early access.
It is used to prevent things like the (up-to-date) massive chat spamming some users are crying about.
If the EETeam had made open chat first beta, and got through this feedback from the community they would have included tabs on the release of chat.

Beta is used to be "the first time that the software is available outside of the organization that developed it".
Beta is used to prevent "many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss."

Thats why i want beta back. BC has nothing to do with Beta. Its not even nearly the same.

Impact of the World Wide Web
As the Internet has facilitated rapid and inexpensive distribution of software, companies have begun to take a looser approach to use of the word "beta". In February 2005 ZDNet published an article about the recent phenomenon of a beta version often staying for years and being used as if it were in production level, disparagingly called "perpetual beta". It noted that Gmail and Google News, for example, had been in beta for a long period of time and were not expected to drop the beta status despite the fact that they were widely used; however, Google News did leave beta in January 2006, followed by Google Apps, including Gmail, in July 2009. This technique may allow a developer to delay offering full support and responsibility for remaining issues. In the context of Web 2.0, people even talk of perpetual betas to signify that some software is meant to stay in beta state. Also, "beta" is sometimes used to indicate something more like a release candidate, or as a form of time-limited demo, or marketing technique.[4]

The old EE Beta is a mix between this and the above one, though. !

wikipedia wrote:

Release candidate
A release candidate (RC) is a beta version with potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bug. A release is called code complete when the development team agrees that no entirely new source code will be added to this release. There could still be source code changes to fix defects, changes to documentation and data files, and peripheral code for test cases or utilities. Beta testers, if privately selected, will often be credited for using the release candidate as though it were a finished product. Beta testing is conducted in a client's or customer's location and to test the software from a user's perspective.

Also...
THREE MORE SPOTS ON THE PETITION! Be sure to get it or you will miss out on this chance to support and possibly revive beta!
If your name HAS NOT been proven for the game (meaning there is no profile, [which is what I am assuming] you were banned, or your profile was private and didn't bother to tell, OR YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO READ THE OP'S LITTLE RED LINE), you will be kicked off the list unless you can give me your official in-game name.

Can I sign up for this? I hate everything the builder's club stands for. In-game name is Danni.

Marios · Before February 2015

I also want Beta back. Beta is rare now and worst part is that beta worlds rarely appear anymore.

So sign me.

ok as for people saying that beta should be in and BC should be out, as for one person mentioned there is a chain reaction of money there and one person i forget name i'm too lazy to get the name said that that it could go other way around, WHICH is true but is highly unlikely cause they will see profits going down anyways. and guys you dont NEED to buy BC, its not like its mandatory and is a must in the game, no one is forcing you to. i say they should both be in and have them sort of have a surpirour system... sort of like how it went from beta --> normal people
so first would go BC, they will odviously have it first with no need to buy which is a + to have them be the first testers. they are also more expensive no matter what than beta even if the one month was pernament ist still 1 dollar more.
next will go to beta for same reason since they also spent money and blah blah blah you get the point
then goes normal players.
if you want you can put me on the list but i'm on the maybe side

as for me i did buy BC for a year when it was on SALE , yes for those who complained its too expensive just wait for the sale to come then its cheap for a year and a year is still a long time so just save up another 35 dollars then on the same day it iwll most likely be there again for the same price then tadah you got it for the same price of a year and a year is a long time so its no complaining over.

One thing i do think they should add to BC since the fact is its really rarethis to prevail and happen of what we want to have it come back. i think that when you GET BC, you the beta bricks forever! and same with the smilies with it. it will keep it all fair and it will keep the fairness of people who never got the chance to keep beta of who which just need to pay 1 dollar more than normal (tax maybe who knows) and still gets the signs and infinite stuff for the month atleast and its an added bonus and for those about what happens with the worlds? well remember the trial of BC? i made a world and i opned people came so you can still use it just dont delete any spikes cause then u will need to use an alternative... well as i said you dont need to put me on the list i'm on the maybe side

You do realize that: a.) Not every EE player goes on the forums. And b.) Not everyone can use a bot/access that site that is linked in hummerz5's signature. Right?
