Why? It's like a weaker version of hyper-jump for lower-level players.
no but the name of it is redundent now since everyone can have it im just saying change the name since it no longer means to beta players
Just think of it as the Beta version of the normal HJ, thats how I thought it was seeing as it was given out in a trial before I heard it was supposed to be Beta players only... even though it was given out in a even after Beta too wasn't it?
Change it to HJ Alpha...
"Long Jump"
The way I see it Beta refers to the fact that it's a preliminary, weaker version of Hyper-Jump. I think that's actually how it was originally meant, not referring to the Beta of the actual game.

Maybe just change it to Super Jump instead of the farther advanced Hyper Jump?
LEAVE BETA HJ ALONE!!!!!111

I prefer it being the Beta version of HJ seeing as it's available to everyone now.
Was it ever ONLY for beta players? trial players get it too well either HJ beta or Mobious so I as a player who just went out and brought the game resented the fact that i paid for it and get naff all where as a trial player got it, so i think its fine now everyone can have it. as for renaming it.... why? what's the point it wont make it any different other then to yourself but surely you already know if you were in MxO Beta or not?
For the nth #$%#% time, HJ Beta is a promotional item. Dig out your preorder cards and you'll read it (I'll scan mine if I have to). Only reason people think its from Beta is because you could attach it to your beta account during the Monolith days, which would become usable when it went live. Monolith sold HJ Beta as a promotional item via preorder regardless if the person was in Beta or not, and people got it and get it every time they make a new character. All SOE has done is use it for promotional via buddy keys and trial programs, for single characters, where Monolith's was perma account wide.

That's all it is. It's a BETA PROGRAM. I'm going to go eat now and get back to work.

I am not aware of that you could buy pre-order after launch.

Leave the name as is.
Since you must visit a construct where total PvP is in play, this cancels the "anyone can get it" thinking.
Low level players can so easily get ganked from high level players in the construct.
You must me a high level player to obtain the rewards so at this point the ability is worthless.
Getting it, just to say you have it, or holding onto it since beta seems crazy to me, since noone in game knows you have it anyway.

im just glad i still got my beta gear I don't see the name being changed. Some sort of functional difference of the ability would require a name change.
If the abilies can be changed as easily as the numerously tweaked clothing, perhaps it is technically possible with minimal difficulty.
If they did change the name, it would give people one more unique item to collect and hold onto and have no use for only to say they have it. But these sorts of things are what people are seemingly sticking around for.
In this case sure, lets add one more worthless item to the pile for all us to collect.

Actually in the old days you could create a guy, sell your hyperjump beta, delete your guy, create a new guy and sell your hyperjump beta, delete your guy, create a new guy and seller your..... you get the point. I never did it myself but I know plenty that did and made info doing it.
I am a pre-order person. Didn't get into beta for some reason but it's just an item. If it can help bring people to the game then I don't care if it's given away and cheapens it.
