What does mandatory beta mean?

I've been puttering around Field of Bone. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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!

Beta server exp is already at 500%... you want double that? lol.

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...
