For all you "VERRRRIOUSSS NOW!!" types... the more people who beta test, the better...right?

Surprised that only 100 or so people are on at the moment considering the huge hype. People don't wanna work for it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There will be some NPC's at the NRo docks soon to help with various things, such as porting, useful clickies (Rez, buffs, etc), and possibly level increases.

102 on right now. Still not peak hours tho right?

So you're not surprised at a 10:1 ratio? I know Kunark beta was quiet, but I thought there'd be a higher pop than the red server at any time of day. Maybe I'll post again when its "peak hours" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I dunno maybe this is just me but I had fun running through the zones and checking things out but working to get loot/camp stuff when it will all get deleted just doesn't sound that appealing.

Maybe the devs should offer some small reward for playing on beta. Not "you get to keep everything you loot" of course, but maybe "one 150% xp potion for every verified bug you file." ("Verified" so that it only encourages filing meaningful bugs).

That way there'd be more incentive for people who love their characters on blue/red to play on a server that doesn't directly help those characters ... which would mean more beta testers and a higher quality Velious when it is released.

Just a thought.

Swish complains for months that we're too excited about Velious. Then it (well... the beta) gets here and he complains that we aren't excited enough! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The irony, right? You all get what you want, then only a handful (relatively) want to help with the testing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At least nobody will be a posting a thread about "why is it taking so long" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah. I'd blow up on anyone who can't handle at least 2-3 months of beta for a more polished release. Pretty sure I'll play beta nonstop (maybe boxing red) until it goes live now, though my "testing" might not be stellar since I don't know how things are supposed to be without researching every single thing I encounter :-\
