For all you "VERRRRIOUSSS NOW!!" types... the more people who beta test, the better...right?

Surprised that only 100 or so people are on at the moment considering the huge hype. People don't wanna work for it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm definitely going to tear up velious now that there is no consequences but have not had much time. Can't wait. Any clues on how long beta is going to be?

so how do I get on to explore?
I log on to the server but cannot create a character.

Log onto the character you want to transfer, and type /beta

Talk of 3-4 months, obviously the more people that get involved and report bugs back, the quicker it could make it for a release.

Many are too busy worrying/stockpiling more plat/items in EC to cope with the player led inflation that'll be hitting the server though.

I would really want to play the lower level stuff. I logged in to find only 60s everywhere. Ry'Gorr orcs were completely uncamped, but I couldn't take them solo.

If anyone would like to play with me, on any of my low level characters, just PM me here or in-game on any of my chars in my sig. I would LOVE to destroy beta, I'm just not going to log on as a 39 monk and solo the front two centurions by myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

help because you wanna help or dont help at all
rewards! pfffff

I wasn't around for Kunark beta, so I don't know: maybe the community has enough motivated testers without any reward. If so, no need for a reward.

If not however, bug bounties have been shown to work in other software projects, so it's not that crazy of an idea. Personally I would rather play on a more heavily tested Velious, where a few hard working testers got a very minimal reward, than play on a less heavily tested Velious.

Plus, rewards would have the added benefit of getting people to test corner cases that wouldn't otherwise get found. If all people are doing is logging around and running through zones things like pet hate in groups (for instance) won't get checked.
