  1. Will there be any guest functionality for those who want to see it but don't want to prevent others from getting accounts?

  2. When will you _really_ go public for all, i.e. not restricting the number of registrants?

  3. I doubt they could know when the server would be out of beta.

  4. How are the ranks calculated? Will 200 accounts be a large enuough (and diverse enough) number to calculate ranks accuratly?

  5. When (in GMT) will it open?. Since i imagine the 200 will be gone in less than an hour it would disfavour people in timezones where it will be midnight or somethin.
    would 4 50 people let ins in different times be possible?

  8. I'm hoping that the 200 account limit will be as temporary as possible. I'm very eager to quit KGS permanently, but I don't think it'll be easy enough to get a game on Kaya until it is fully public. 200 new accounts it's really not that many.
