Is the Game Fun in Alpha?

Sure was for us, but we only played for a short while. How about for the normal Friends and Family testers? Well, one of the developers we talked to has his mother in the game. How involved is she? In the Undead alpha testing, she had made it to level 21, higher than some of the developers themselves! She's not a gamer normally, so for her to stick with it as much as she has, including being up at midnight one night anxiously instant messaging her son for knowledge of when the next patch would be out really speaks to the accessibility of this game. Well, if she's playing for the long haul, we're going to take that as a ringing endorsement of the longer term play value of the Alpha. (It also made us wish that we had relatives working at Blizzard. Anyone want to adopt us?)

That's something else...
