In truth I think its sad that nobody but small beta groups will even get to pay this for about a couple months, Plus acording to the front page this project is in its earliest stages still after more than 2 years now and i understand this is a huge project full of content but its going to be to the point that only a couple people will get to play for months possibly a year and then we get the mod but will the mod be up to date with the current version and we won't even know if MC will still be around in 2 years. I"m sorry if I sound like I'm complaining but its been a long time and I currently just see this at its earliest stage even after 2 years and it seems like there hasn't been much done to get it to the public. I understand you want to give us something high quality but every mod has its kinks and we sometimes we just have to let others find it by playing and seeing what happens instead of takeing a huge amount of times to Beta it in about 2-3 stages before giving us a full release for everyone to play. Other wise this is a great idea and I really hope this gets released very soon.
EDIT: I get your in alpha but It would be nice to be able to have stable pre releases.

1) We have been in development for 1 year and 2 months, hardly the "more than 2 years" you have said
2) We are in Pre-Alpha
3) There will be 3 sets of closed alphas
4) The beta will be an open beta
5) It would do you best to actually read the threads linked to in the opening post.
All in all, there will be no exterior testing until the story based elements are playable and there will never be a pre-release. Really, please read the Pre-Release Policy and Official Plans for Release threads I linked to in the main post. Your calculations of time are highly overstated and please get the full information.
Also, on another note the whole "doing nothing to get to public" thing.....you do realize that we slave away on this endlessly nearly every day for no pay on this project so we can get it out as fast as we possibly can. I spend the majority of my day working on all of this and It is sorta hurtful when you basically say "you aint doin sh*t". We are a very small team working on the biggest project in minecraft ever, it takes time....and given what we have achieved in a year and 2 months its damn impressive but there will be no releases of any sorts until the story aspects of gameplay are in place and stabilized. Every planet we do is worthy of a mod of its own and every feature we do makes you rethink what can be possible in the minecraft engine.
So please, keep being patient as we understand you want to play this but we are making something never done in minecraft with a very small team and we are going as fast as we can humanly possible and in some instances to the point of unhealthy. We have been pumping out so much content the last month Im killing myself just keeping up with the organizational structure of everything let alone editing, new content creation and concept refinement . Please just bear with us as we are basically killing ourselves working on this
I willing to wait for the first release of the mod because from ,what I can see, the mod looks amazing and I plan on using this mod for a LONG time once it gets it's official release.

Thank you for the support
We are hoping to begin our closed alphas late spring / summer but I cant guarantee anything
how will you choose who does the closed alpha testing? are you going to choose people you already know or do an application style thing?
Im not sure of that yet, however for the first 5 slot closed alpha group it will be well trusted iKingsSGC server staff whom can be impartial when it comes to testing and giving honest feedback and spend grueling hours bug searching and feature requesting. The 2nd group that brings 10 slots into the alpha...well we dont know about the criteria for that yet, the 3rd group (either 5 or 10 slots) will bring the total count to 20 or 25 slots in the Alpha phase.
Hi I'm back on. Anyways, iking is there any way we could get a preview of the stuff u are working on?
Hey, im currently writing/recording/editing at least 20 new daily reports and a s***ton of iKings Random Development Rambling sneak peaks
I got fed up with having to write the post, record the video, edit the video and publish it all in the same day it was just sooooo time consuming and exausting. I decided to get a crap ton on videos made as we go that I can publish on a proper schedule instead of "oh whenever i get the time to do the video and then spend 7 hours on the making of the video process"
I can do the reports for you. Anyway what do you say to my last post?
Sorry but you cant, only I know everything that needs to be said, done and my style of how I write and the way I record the videos and edit them. And yes I did, you can submit an application (information in the main post)
I saw the fez. I was just asking if you could customize it (e.g., making it a green fez)
Im sure we can work out several variations of each accessory
Yay
Tbh, this mod seems more worth it to me than buying the vanilla Minecraft
Thank you

Not to be confused with Harry Truman.
Its not the forums that are finally working. it is your ISP finally getting off their lazy arses and updating your DNS
i give this mod:
Sorry, there is no tester application because we do not require external testers.
