Forced beta test, isn't that what Sony usually went Live with. I'd say just go live with what you have. Win win. Economy is already borked. What's the worst that could happen.

Pretty much this. This entire project has been a perpetual beta test anyway.

A+

Please shutdown red also, many saying they'll just play there....

Oooh. Very interdasting. This should push Velious up by quite a bit. I hope.

I'd be curious to see how a policy like "when Velious goes live you can keep a single item from your beta character for your love character" would go. (Excluding anything offered from the gnomes and no Kunark stuff from beta-buffs).

Would definitely see people hitting beta hard. Really hard.

But really, should shut down red too.

I asked Rogean to enable PvP in Kael. Have one pvp zone. He said no to Kael tho.

Lol do Skyshrine for CS key hilarity.

Will this period be Velious only, or will the Beta server have all of Everquest available? My high elf paladin could use some time in Hate to collect the piece for ND, which has been unavailable until now.

I knew I was going to spend all holiday weekend in norrath, guess I better bring some furs.

[Cecily]

Better yet collect me some. Wyntir is 217? tailoring. I need to test out combines.

I'm hoping the Devs give us a goal on what they would like tested this weekend. I personally raid beta 1 or 2 times per week and I feel as though the raiding aspect of things is outpacing the fixing of the bugs and pathing etc.

For objectives such as testing quest turn ins, there isnt much we can do. In any given raid, there's only a few quest pieces that drop (especially when trash doesnt need to be killed). If you want quest items tested, I'd suggest upping the drop rate 1000% on mobs dropping armor, gem quests, on beta only.

For purely dragon boss testing, you could get rid of trash mobs (or significantly nerf them temporarily) to avoid the hours and hours it takes to clear to some of the mobs.

A lot of Beta just isnt beatable in Kunark gear+Low beta numbers that guilds are pulling. Maybe offer a Velious geared buff bot to give a better shot at the end content.

Those are just some ideas off top of my head that might speed up the process of testing.
