Not, with hope. It's just not ready. Even worse the tester population is about 90% black hats.

Isn't that par for the course in most any public beta? You always end up with a few folks legitimately trying to test and a bunch of people trying to search out 'sploits to use when the thing launches for real. Most of the worst problems have been identified, like folks leveling to 51, and similar issues. Minor tuning like quests here and there that are slightly out of era aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Taking a longer term view, if some folks choose to look at 10 years of success with "blue' as a mere beta for "green," then it's easy to look at Green 1.0 as a test-run for Green 2.0 a few years from now.

I think in this case, it's particularly problematic because it's not truly a beta but a simulation. In a typical beta people don't even know "what to try to exploit" and often not even sure if what they found is truly an exploit or dev intention. I also don't think it's anywhere near 90% in a typical beta test. Most people wiling to have their characters deleted after beta are rarely motived entirely by greed.

I would normally think the same way but it's really bad right now. I'm hoping they have a massive patch this weekend, because going live with anything close to the state of the beta server right now is a horrible idea.

I think the issue is box of abu-kar. If it's a quick fix, great, but if it isn't, the integrity of the server is severly compromised.

I'll keep testing and hoping.

How is box of abu-kar exploitable??

13 p99 years are going to be tied up here. I think the p99 staff and players deserve the best opportunity to get it right as reasonably possible on green.

the prob ive had with green is that it feels like they haven't implemented a lot of the classic changes that they have been talking about.. i mean you can level to 50+, all pre-kunark spells are available immediately, paineel is active, lots of unclassic quests are in

all of the above is being actively discussed in bug forum, but just not yet implemented on the beta

i played it to lv 48 but im not really sure what im testing anymore since they left the kunark gear dropping off every mob lv 35 or 40+ for so long

So you farmed items that are not going to be part of green, with equipment that is not going to be part of green, to sell for huge amounts compared to anything else that will be available on green.

You did testing all wrong.

I hear some people thinking we should beta test some fixes to be sure it's ready for launch.

Would test. Staff please advise what community can do to help make strong launch.

Luckily the P99 GMs are quite active. Anyone who seems to be leveling too fast and/or acquiring too much coin on Green99 will probably be caught and banned.

Obviously tracking player levels is very easy for them, and this is an assumption, but I reckon they have some kinda tool that lets them monitor the coin/tiem acquisition of players as well.

Beta from my eyes is a glorious success, bug reporting coming out of the woodwork, can't even keep up. Feels like Christmas on the forums! Where have the reports been all these years?! Best classicquest event to happen in ages.

Remember that Green is not Blue, another iteration will come. Green 202X will be better than Green 2019.

Yeah coin, levels etc are all in a database. One could just write a script in 30 seconds to show the players with the most money.
