This I agree with. Or more.

I'll be speaking to Rogean about it today.

Yea with 300-400% exp i would happy play a iksar monk to atleast 20-30 that would give some good testing i guess?

Updated old man thorren to include Frontier Mountains, OT, and skyfire. Will be available with next script update.

Copying Characters again would be difficult due to technicality reasons with new iksars being created.

There are also people that don't want to lose the progress they have made on their characters.

Would you field specific requests? Or is the effort not worth an additional tester?

make it a 200pct xp, or more for iksar characters. Or characters below a certain level, so they're more willing to play them in the lower lvl zones.

Stop whining and level one up. I have a level 25 iksar monk right now.

Its not whining as much as theres just no time in most of our shedules to play our main characters that actually matter to us versus beta testing something at normal speeds.

I remember on the live test server, at some point, there was a /buff command that leveled you to level 25 or so.

If you want us to specifically test zones one by one, or even just level brackets (like 1-10, 11-20, etc) can't you specifically limit us or cap us off to certain areas and levels?

I am no professional beta tester or anything, but anything that gave the 10-20 people actually testing inventive to group (by forcing us to play in the same zones around the same level) I would think would make kunark come out earlier, or at least in better shape.

Other than that I don't think Kunark is going to come out 100% bug free anyway, I would vote yes on just realising it to our "live" server so that the real "testing" can happen.

The reason why they are doing it in phases is so that we can test zones pretty much in a 'one-by-one' fashion, and people are still whining. Check.

This would be a catastrophic idea. It would be such a head ache for the GMs to deal with all the petitions. It's bad enough that we don't get reimbursed on the test server for anything we lose.. imagine how many people would be pissed the hell off if they spent 3 hours questing and then on the turn in, they got nothing? There's a reason why we're doing it this way. I'm not mad, just saying that some people need to learn to appreciate PROCESS.
