Some of you people are so damn whiney. Rogean and the others put in their time FOR FREE to put up this server and they are trying to get Kunark out ASAP (And OH LOOK at all the people who bitch about how long THAT Takes "WAHHHH Kunark isn't out yet!!!" "WAAAAH!! NOTHING TO DO!!!!" Yet NONE OF YOU take the time out to go over to the beta server and test.

So they make the beta mandatory for like 48 hours-ish - i have no idea what time the patch was/server came down/wtfe and all of you people are sitting around QQing because 'There go my weekend plans.'

seriously?

grow up.

How about STOP with the crying in the corner, log into the beta server and test it. so what - you lose a day's worth of XP - it's a game.

BFD.

Are enough people logging on to make the stress test as effective as the devs
wanted? Maybe promise double xp day or something, but only if server population hits 500+ for a few hours?

And yeah I realize how sad it is to have to bribe your players (who play for free) to help with the upcoming expansion.

Make no mistake that would be a win-win though. "Free" exp doesn't actually cost that much. I can think of a good testing being worth a LOT of time/energy/aggravation being saved.

Always respect the tradeoff!

I'm pretty sure he means a promised double-xp day on the live server if the beta server gets stress tested at 500+ logins for X amount of hours...
