I'm all for it I guess. Lets get Velious finally released.
I've said this in some other threads...

Honestly Velious could be released right now. Kunark was a mess when it launched to live, and a lot of the problems were general game things that have been since addressed (melee damage too high, etc). A lot of Kunark fine tuning was done after it released to live and I'm sure Velious will be similar.

Now, Velious on the beta server is pretty solid. There are some issues, like something funky is going on with the resist system and you can land some (not all) magic spells on MR immune raid mobs. Some raid mobs that shouldn't be able to gate were gating and they were impossible to interrupt, we'll go back to test that stuff this weekend. But honestly stuff like that is my only complaint. The new resist system is great. Some raid mobs are still a bit too resisty but it's a huge improvement to everything being immune to everything like it was about a month and a half ago.

But for the most part, the beta server is Velious. It's about what I'd expect Velious to look like. We just need our ultra nerds who don't have time to beta test to point out that NPC x is spawning 50 units away from where it was on live and so on to get it completely accurate.
