I vote against.
This would be unfair for players who had already bought some diamonds.
And if we're looking in economy side, The Office of IO won't going to earn money from their new product IO V5
not really unfair for those who have bought allready. they would just have more diamonds when
BETA testing is over, and a Real era begun. i bought, and regret it. Somewhere i read someone saying never to buy a microsoft product untill the second patch has been released. well, this is beta, so technically it is a product in testing mode...soon to be a new product. way to many things still being changed in game to be considered a finished product (yes i also understand that finished products have updates, but those typically are not weekly issues).
as for the IO Team making money...well i respect them all for doing a excellent job on all the rest of IO...but i just disagree with having to pay for anything in a beta test mode. not even microsoft charges for beta testing, and they give almost nothing away for free. quick proof-anyone could download office 2010
BETA a year or two ago, for free!
this new version looks awsome, but costs to much to play (using all options as a full premium member), IMO.
BETA testing should allow all who play to play evenly (or as evenly as their skills allow) to test the game.
