EpicEmu(Classic to Velious) now in open beta.

Signed up a few months ago, got an email yesterday saying it is in open beta.

Greetings Adventurers,

The EpicEmu Team invites you to The Sleeper: Scars of Velious - Open Beta!

After months of hard work and dedication of the developers and players who have been supporting the advancement of the server, we are officially announcing the start of Open Beta. If you would like to assist in the final steps needed to complete this effort before the live launch, we encourage you, your friends, and family to come join us...yes, your girlfriend should come too.

From fixing npc models, to classic player spells and icons, to revamping entire zones, the development team has been busy and will continue to be with the bug reports you can provide. It has been almost a year since this effort began and since then hundreds of bug reports have been collected, tens of thousands of lines of code have been written, all of this thanks to the time and willingness of the players like you who want to help. We have built Norrath close to as it was during the Velious era around 2001, and though we still have many bugs to fix and many more to find, we encourage you to join us on this epic journey back in time.

A 'Task List' forum is being created to point you in the direction of which zones, npcs, and quests developers need tested during open beta - those to report the first bugs will be rewarded with beta incentives like exp potions, weight reduction bags, beta testers running shoes, lunch boxes, canteens, and more custom items as they are created. When the beta is complete do not worry about your character being 'wiped,' it will live on the Test server and you will be the first to be able to try out Luclin content as it is released by the developers while the Live server is up and operational.

We thank all the players who have been involved so far, and we thank you ahead of time for joining our efforts to bring EverQuest the Scars of Velious back to life over 10 years after its original creation.


Sincerely,

The EpicEmu Team


Was anyone in the closed beta? I am a kind of interested and may give it a try. I have been wanting to relive SoV for many years now.
