It will be released to around 3 people. I'm planning on doing the closed beta and writing up a story on what's going on... maybe have a blog? to get people hyped. Not like a "Well we found this bug today..." sort of thing, but more like a "The Red Alliance attacked some freelancer camps today. They took supplies and warmed themselves up at the fires and then left. No one's sure if they're using the supplies for weapons or building." type thing, to get the roleplay atmosphere going.
@Gad: Export both. Have one with, and one without, so we can choose, or maybe have rare evil-bunnies.
You guys are getting awesome ideas, but we need to get the basics done first. That music brick idea is sooo epic lol. We need to have some sort of thing where the radio signal can be weakened somehow, and messages start breaking up, letters get switched around and stuff, so if someone says (for example) "lol you suck" it might come out as "lkl yoq suck". Just a few random letters getting switched to another letter/number/whatever. But anyways... basic systems.
I'll try and brainstorm up some more models we could use, since we seem to have plenty of people willing to model.
As for scripters, talk to Glass. He's headin' up the scripting effort.
Edit: Hmmmm, we do need a domain. I'm fresh out of money right now, but when I get a few dollas, I'll buy a domain, set it up with a blog, and a forum. Few other things too, like features page, etc.
