What does mandatory beta mean?

[Seaweedpimp]

What must be done, must be done!

Geez. There's enough tears from people on both sides of this issue. It's just elegantly ironic how the folks that aren't miffed about losing a weekend day of playing are just as whiny about folks who are miffed.

I also like how folks assume that miffed players are thankless about the work done for this server.

I mean, those are totally justified positions too, amirite?

A) If you're flat out whining about the mandatory beta, it's not going to do any good.
B) If you're flat out whining about the people whining about the mandatory beta, it's not going to do any good.

Uh oh. Did I just whine about the people whining about the people whining about the mandatory beta? *SNRKT* Ow! I think I just pulled my brain...

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.

This post has been brought to you by the lack of alcohol in my system :P

I'm sure there will be some people reporting things that have absolutely no issues just to waste Rogean@co's time, or people wasting their own time playing because they have no idea what to look for.

I'm just waiting for my chars to get copied.

for how long will this kind of beta testing be going on?

I might have missed it, but is there server-status announcement page for stuff like this? Or did the server just go down and beta went up without a word/warning (unless on the server at the time, probably had a 15minute message)?

Just curious to know the events =)

It's the News & Announcements section at the top of the forum list

yes. clearly i'm a brown noser. Clearly i give a crap what Rogean and the others think about me. obv you are so right.

No - i'm just someone who deals with small people who run around and do nothing but whine and cry and bitch all day long (it's a very rewarding job, being a mommy, but still...children when they are below age 5 pretty much spend 90% of their day whining and crying about something or other. "But...I want the donut!" "But.....I don't want to play on beta!"

"He hit me!" ...... "They KS'd our raid!!!"
"He knocked my block tower over!" .... "They trained us!"
"I don't WANT to go to the store/go to the doctor/get a shot/get dressed/stop playing in the mud!" "I don't WANT to go play on beta/stop being a douche/stop whining"

See the correalation? I see enough of the behavior from my two littles who can NOT help it since they are LITTLE. They are 2 and 3.....you people are all at least 10 years old and if you are playing on P99 you are probably at least 18....

so quityerbitchin.

tl;dr - I'm a person with a low tolerance for bullshit and whining.

This is brilliant, pure genius! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I love you already, Sephrana - you go girl! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just a small plead to keep beta open after launch, be nice to be able to play it *without* the angry masses who won't even beta it past mar 25th. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If we play on the server while it's in mandatory beta, will we lose any changes to our characters once the live server is restored? I'm guessing that's the case, but I'd really like to be sure.
