How many people play on red is irrelevant, if you're going to "force" a velious beta, you give p99 players no other choice but to play on the velious server. That's what forced beta implies.

Both servers need players, so it's honestly a brilliant decision. Most blue players have a strong enough aversion to red that they'll funnel into the beta, where they are needed. If it works out to increase red population as a side effect, that's only a good thing for the health of our servers.

GMs know red is dying/dead so this is the best way they can think to get players on there(by forcing them for a weekend lol). [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not only does red need to be shut down, internet porn needs to be shut down so there are absolutely no distractions to this Velious testing period.

If you train people on beta, do you get banned on blue or red?

[Cecily]

Neither. It's called testing pathing.

What is the point of keeping the red server up if you want velious beta testing?

To keep all the redies on red.

Great idea. The best thing for Project1999 is for Velious to come out, and I'm glad that this is the focus.

Thread of quests/recipes that need confirmation: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=157067

If you up drop rates to 100%, then you might as well allow people to just summon the items for turn in. Testing drop rates during beta is important to avoid unnecessary issues on live.

I'm well aware of that thread. And if you actually look at the armor quests completed you'd know that will NEVER get anywhere close to completion in time at the current drop rate. Upping the drop rate for testing purposes is perfectly fine considering the hundreds of raids that have already taken place and the results it has yielded. It can be reverted back for a final beta build to make sure everything is working as intended.

VP train wars round 2 should happen in Velious beta.
