Should have done this:

> Put a vendor next to the leveling NPC with free gear that matches what can be obtained at whatever the current level bracket is.
> Make one of the zones non-PvP but /duel enabled and have an NPC that casts a +500 mana and HP regen buff on you when hailed. Buff fades if you leave that zone.
That'll let people test whatever the hell they want rather than require grinding and gearing up on a fucking beta server or having a character and appropriate gear waiting on blue99 for when they enable transfers. The non-PvP zone will let people power-test resists in an environment where they won't get ganked every 30 seconds. That'll give actual feedback and numbers worth looking at. If people want to test quests and drop rates (dunno why, they're all working since p99 has had two years to fine-tune this) they can freely do so. All that's happening right now is 50% of the server is poopsocking to get to 50 the fastest without testing a fucking thing, and 50% of the server is stuck in a gfay griefing moshpit where they can't test a fucking thing.
Beta could take a week or two, but I guess we have to waste our time killing orcs and skeletons to make it take a month or more.
