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.


It so happens that the people who joined recently don\'t know the devs very well, and vice versa. Plenty of the old people however hang out with the devs every day. Besides, just because many don\'t feel like spending 6+ hours per day in MB, doesn\'t mean they\'re not around and it doesn\'t mean they\'re not dedicated and loyal to PS.

Hang on.. so is this alpha testing for the beta release? In which case you would perform alpha testing then beta testing for the beta release?
OR is it alpha testing for the final game, in which you would perform alpha testing, beta testing then have the actual *full release*

It\'s the closed testing before the Alpha version is released. Then eventually there will be a closed test before the Beta version is released, as well as there will be more closed tests before other major releases.

I really feel your pain recently monketh, I spend hours ingame everyday lookin after things and people just seem to look straight through me when talking about things.  ;(  We should start a support group.

Great news, what everyone was talking about in chat last night makes more sense now =) I look forward to the release, Great news! =)

Sure, I would say that each and every guild member (of any guild btw) is already a real loyal person but... sure devs don\'t know everybody.
They simply can\'t take someone they don\'t see often ingame (me for instance)
On the other hand I\'m tempted to say \"hey I study computer science in 3rd year, I\'m admin on a french website\" blablabla but what\'s the need of it? I haven\'t played MB since something like november 2003.

Lots of people are in the same situation. I\'ll wait. Like 99 % of the people ;)

Note : If you need someone pretty reliable for the alpha, don\'t forget Sabrewulf, he was there long ago before most people

Nice work everyone. You testers don\'t even think of telling us anything. I don\'t want to know anything when I first enter CB.

P.S. I proposed once, each guild to pick a dev for it\'s god. Imagine the fun :)

I\'m just excited about the news of progress.
And yes please don\'t say anything about the test. I would hate to have info leaked that everyone got excited about but it ends up being bugged somehow and has to be completly changed for the public release. Plus I would just like to wait and be suprised when it comes out anyway.

Well great work everyone keep it up and good luck to whoever gets in the test :D

Oh man. I haven\'t posted here in forever. Yes, good luck bug hunting to all those who do get in...even though I don\'t think you even know who you are yet. Of course, I could be mistaken. :p

It\'s been said that screenshots and information will probably be restricted, and alpha testers might have to sign some sort of NDA. The only one who can give an official word on that, however, is Talad.
It will be nice to get some screenshots from CB. Maybe devs will release some at some point. But it will be even better to play it (yes, play. not alpha test ;)).
So, I\'ll be around waiting patiently. I\'m still around. :D
Great job devs! and good luck with CB. :tup:

LIKE OH MEE GEE! COUNT ME IN MOGGIE POGGIE! I WANT TO TEST LIKE OH MEE GEE. (Sarcasm) Why do beta tests? You guys act like it is the final product...makes me sick. Why even bother? Just let everyone play it..we have been waiting for a whole year almost for this to come out....you delayed itlike crazy. Should we be hyped about something most of us probably won\'t get to test? I am not.
Signature deleted for being too small. It was soo small, it represented the smallest sig in the world.

We choose to do the beta test program for our own protection :-) It is better if 15 fans first weed out and find the most obvious bugs (but bugs that we devs still missed) before unleashing it on the PS masses and getting thousands of identical bug reports.

Wonders what would happen if someone found a bug which would destroy the whole world and kept it to himself.
