A lot of players often ask me why the need for a CBT, and most importantly, why would publishers wipe or delete all the characters on the CBT test server?
This short post attempts to clarify the reasons why. Hopefully, everyone (who reads this and shares) will have a new idea on why gaming companies have to do CBT.

Addiction to anything is bad. Even games.
It’s a disease. A lot of people think they’re not addicted until it’s too late. Then they have problems with family, work or school.

It used to be simpler 8 to 10 odd years or so ago, the online gaming market wasn’t as cramped, cutthroat and saturated like what it is today. In today’s unforgiving industry, a LOT of games get designed, put on the proverbial closed beta axe and (around 80% to 90%) will never get to see the light of day. This may be due to the fact that most games are just rehashes or old gimmicks or, sadly, clones of more popular AAA titles. There toooo much fantasy titles out there. The teams that tried to stay away from them are also having a hard time.
Only the innovative designs strike a big chance of seeing their titles go past the betas and earn money in the “commercial” stage. A like-the-rest-of-em game may be a modest hit but if another similar title comes up with better graphics, it’s difficult to start all over again and retain players.
