CB Alpha Test Starts!

[spawnman]

well, congrats to whoever is chosen! at least *I* dont have to wonder if i get chosen, since im not exactly active

 but if you want to have a tester for low-end hardware, i\'m your man.               anyway, good work guys.

[Desnonroth]

hmmm... That\'s bad, because that restriction makes the await even more unbearable (



PS None of the activities done in this closed test phases will modify the data of MB database (names, stats, crystals, items, etc...). (C)    Does that means that the crystals we found before will stay with us in future?

[Xordan]

Rumour tells of no conversion. Don\'t take my word on it.

Oh, and I don\'t think anything should be leaked at all. Even the smallest screenshot. Spoils the suprise for everyone else.  

[Nanuke]

i wish i could wonder if i would be pick im loyal but not realy active

news = progress = soon = = more

i just can\'t wait !
(to alpha tester) have fun, kill stuff, and test!}

my membership into the Arcane Order is under conference and hopfuly will be choosen soon{more smilies }

[Waylander]

Hmm

Kada, Xordan, Cad, Aendar, Moogie, Draklar (jk), Kixie, Xenia, Hevrah, Golmir, Gronomist ...hmm I can\'t think of any others I would expect to be alpha\'s

Either way I rather be in the second batch or with the main group


To Devs: You guys rock...and are probably enjoying your popularity eh

To Alpha Testers: Don\'t do drugs, don\'t tell me anything and kill much buglike thingies (like Seperot )

[Syzerian]

I hope this testing takes from somewhere between 2 - 10 weeks otherwise, too many good things at once = bad
When I saw this thread I was thinking \"OH no! Not now!\" heh
Hope you testers find all the bugs

Once again, ol\' Monk slips under the radar.  I don\'t think have time to be an alpha tester, anyway.

Yep.

They have enjoyed it and despised it too, at times.  Fame has it\'s consequences.

What, no Blitzers?  :-P  It\'s a good thing you aren\'t making this call Waylander .

I am guessing that list you just posted is lacking the actual players that spend 24/7 ingame...those are just the known names..people like Hevrah, Kada, Agara, and other members should get the go ahead. Also other not so known players that will actually test..and if you have been here longer doesn\'t mean you should get the chance...it just means you signed up first. There is alot of people who signed up then left for like a year and just come back or post once a week or go ingame once a month. Then there is those players that have joined recently and dedicate their entire life to hanging out on P.S.

 I am not trying to get myself in(I don\'t have the time ^^)..just don\'t want stupid things like your registration date and your name to affect other peoples chances who have spent that much more time.

EDIT: Monketh should be one on the list if he had the time to do so, he is well established roleplayer and has a love for it like no other ^^

[Mordaan]

Woo-hoo!



Now at least have a more concrete answer for whenever someone asks that question that is always asked...

[Parts]

Oh yes, definitely good news.

Unfortunately I haven;t been able to succesfully compile MB for ages so I\'m not really in a position to ask to help with the Alpha. (My Linux install now requires too many legacy libraries to compile MB)

I\'ll just have to hope that CB compiles nicely with the newer libraries and I\'ll see you all when the open-beta comes around

[Cha0s]

Will there be any Mac alpha testers?

[Desnonroth]

On the other hand, non-testing people will have more time hunting crystals and preparing for alpha...

[Ghostslayer]

Very nice Good to see things are moving forward steadily.
 
Just out of curiosity, since the first phase of testing is going to be for dedicated fans, will the second be the same, or will it target a larger range of individuals to test out the extreme cases of hardware/OS (low to high end systems, Win 98-XP, different Linux distros etc.)?

[FESFES]

WOOT! CB! As I said..... Oct 28 Youll see (that would be the open CB date)

*gets in line to enter closed testing* hmm I wonder how far I am from the front.....
*looks ahead* O_O
*shoots himself in the head*

Oh and I could be the win xp service pack 2 tester
or the so cal tester, the 15 year old tester, the born ---MAY 26--- tester, the 5\' 8\" tester, the armenian tester, the tester named Ara tester, the metal loving tester, that one tester, the 10th grade tester.................
