Forced Beta Test

[Deadlyfury]

It's well worth the wait and I think everyone should just stop your bitching and either help out with the testing, or eagerly await the re-opening of the servers [You must be logged in to view images.

You guys rock, keep making this an awesome experience to re-live and I can't wait till Velious drops!!!!

Just discovered the server a week ago and I'm trying to catch up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Lvl 24 atm and I really dont care much for a velious anytime soon - I still want to enjoy vanilly+Kunark.
It would be cool if you could just add a restriction, so accounts with lvl 60's on them are only able to log on to beta.
Then the newbies like myself can continue to work on their tiny toons. OR let us carry over the xp made in beta, to the P99 live server.
If not, then I guess my wife will be happy about me fixing that sliding door she's been bugging me to make her [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
GF faction = More playtime + occasional "quality time"

I've been trying to get in to beta but keep getting stuck with the messages in the character selection slots that say I don't have the latest spell files. Any suggestions? My steps so far were:

1. Make a copy of the EQ directory I use to log in to blue/red
2. Update the spell file in that directory using the link found in the beta thread
3. Use the /beta command twice on one of my existing chars
4. Log in to the EQ beta directory (yes, I make sure everything points to that directory)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Getting exactly same problem here. How do I completely delete Duxi UI? could it be that?

I've got to say I'm pretty surprised by the content of this thread. I seem to remember a time on the forums where people would simply post the word "Velious" in threads without context.

There were threads posted weekly with a variety of ways to phrase "When is Velious coming?"

And now that you're literally being forced to come to the Velious continent and explore the new lands you've all been begging for, the only thing the community can think of to do is try and convince the staff to disable a small PvP server being left online purely out of spite?

Tsk tsk, how the times have changed.

You sure? I'm almost positive a Warrior I beta buffed had BiS, or damn near close to it. Also had a bag full of resist gear. Perhaps only certain characters are lacking?

I know for sure the SK template is based off someone on red. (the gear was mostly resist items, and the spell book gave it away, Shadowstep on the first page [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for the complement. I wish I had known when they were copying and I would have filled my bags with all the stuff in my bank as well. Oh well.

Beta and Live are using the same spell file at the moment. Just use the same install for now.
