I have to say, personally I think end of beta events are actually a bad idea. They're only available to a very small part of the user base, who typically have either been lucky enough to be picked for beta, or paid their way in (that's Fileplanet subscribers such as myself). They take developer resources away from working balance and stability issues at a critical time, to do something that has no long term ingame result.

Not at all developers do these things in their own time and normally it's the GM's and Community developers whose job it is to do things like this anyways.

I've been in nearly every mmorpg beta thats worth talking about but frigging I've never made it to the end cause I get bored of them by that. The only ones I stuck with was SWG and Planetside but they didn't really have events but people standing around talking.

In the case of Fallen Earth, developer events are going to be common-place even in live, so having beta events was only natural and, in fact, necessary in order to test them.
