So wait. People sitting in ec, or waiting inline for a camp, or waiting on a respawn would count toward blue and against red? How do you figure that?

no, thats why you have the repops. To see which server is their "main"

Anyway, we don't actually need to do this...we shall see it in action when velious drops.

Why is that even an issue? If they play both, then they play both.

Starting on Friday, November 28th* and lasting until Monday, December 1st* we will be shutting down** the Project 1999 Blue*** Server to encourage a Forced Beta Test on the Velious Beta Server. We ask that all players spend their time on Beta to help complete as much testing and bug reporting as possible.

* Exact Start and End times are not known.
** The server itself may remain up to facilitate beta copies but will not be available for play.
*** The red server will remain open.

We plan to have a mechanism in place to perform a beta copy during this time but we recommend that you do a beta copy ahead of time anyways.

Also keep in mind that boxing is allowed on the Beta server.

Thanks.

Rogean,

What exactly do you want tested?

What's the plan, if you don't mind me asking? Without some sort of direction, and plan, I don't see what this will actually accomplish.

Do you want tradeskills tested? If so which ones?

Quests? Same thing?

Pathing/zoning issues? Okay where and what?

Where do we post if and when we find a bug/problem?

I'm slightly baffled by this. Well rather, I'm baffled by the timing. I understand the need for Beta testers, but usually there's a plan in place as to what needs to be tested and based on your post from this morning there's no direction as far as testing goes. Could you possibly elaborate a bit more?

Please shut down Red also! Concentrate the effort of p99 players!!

Is there actually any concrete, communicable logic in keeping the red server open during this?

If the intention of this whole thing is to force people to test velious beta by removing their usual P99 experience, why are you intentionally offering a [debatably] viable alternative to beta?

Are you trying on purpose to keep the penal colony open to prevent ..... certain people ...... from mucking up the testing experience? I guess that would make sense, but it would be helpful (and entertaining) to hear that clarified by the staff.

why are people who do not play on red... worried about what happens on red?
