CB Alpha Test Starts!
« on: September 20, 2004, 07:29:30 pm »
And so, it begins! This is what we have been waiting for :D From the PlaneShift homepage:

Quote
Our internal testing is going well, we fixed many bugs and improved the usability of our GUI. There are still areas to test, but we decided that the time has come to release CB to a subset of users that will help us testing. There will be a period of \"closed alpha tests\", starting from this Saturday (25 Sept.). The people included in the list of alpha testers is still to determine, we will pick some (10-15) of the most loyal fans. We decided to start with a set of players to avoid too many redundant bugs notifications. The next step will be to add another set of players (20-30). This can happen after one or two weeks after the first round started. None of the activities done in this closed test phases will modify the data of MB database (names, stats, crystals, items, etc...).
It\'s a great news for us and we hope also for you.


So, begin your nagging to get access ;D

Just a warning to anyone who intends to come nag for access: It is a well known fact that in any project running closed-testing, the more you nag, the less your chances are. It\'s like asking to become a GM/MOD. The usual policy is \"you ask, and we put you on the blacklist\". :P

I am so happy that I may do something crazy to get access to CB early, like start making monster & Animal models + Cal3D Animations like crazy.

I wonder who is \"The Most Loyal Fan\"?  :))

For this phase of testing it is more important that the people involved are well-known by the devs than having particular development/testing skills.

G*d dam !!

I just digged up my forum account, it is the real first very very good news I have been waiting for since....my last post...that is since ...err....a long time

I can already say, the whole Circle of Legends is waiting for the release ; keep on the good work devs !

And be careful when selecting your people, because infos too much spread around the web could simply \"kill\" your good work (as you said, the less we know, the more we enjoy after the release).
