Which isn't a good thing... Game might launch with a ton bugs since most people just want to play the game early.... *sigh*
Question. I applied for beta a few weeks back and i was wondering (would be first game tested by the way) are you told by email that you have been selected or is there another way they contact you?
Yeah if you beta test you must find bugs, maybe instabuy could add the persons name or something in the game who finds the most bugs! Or maybe they could make a special requested block or something for them (just suggestions)
I know this is stupid but it says you joined this month so how could you have applied other than this week? Sorry if I'm being stupid
Hey probably applied on Instabuys website first. Then came here to the TA forums. Or maybe he just lurked the TA forums w/o an account until he applied for the beta. They will most likely send you an e-mail, that's generally the best way to contact the large amount of beta testers one would receive. But they may also post the name of those with TA accounts here on the forums. It will most likely be e-mail though.
@instabuy I go on Facebook a lot and I think that you should make a manaquest page like Eden world builder so you can update us on that as well! It's also a more popular place to do his and get more people!
Yeah! Ideas: -monsters designed after you and named after you -(random idea) they could let you design a weapon like a special sword or something -If there are people then name one of the important ones after you -own the first server -design a shield (if there are shields) -design a block These are crap ideas do sujjest some other ones if you think of any
They already have posted potential benefits of beta testing. I'm not looking at it now, but I think it was that you get the iPod version for free, and you get a discount on the windows/Mac version. Added onto this is of course beta testing an awesome game, which entails you to bragging rights and feelings of accomplishment! That in itself should be enough.
More Info! Wow, a lot of activity since I was last here. EVERYONE will receive an email when the beta client is ready and EVERYONE can play the PC/Mac/Linux, you are all accepted. Anyone who is accepted to the iPod/iPhone/Android test will receive a special email with information on how to get that client. Everyone who is in the beta will have an opportunity to buy the PC/Mac/Linux version at a discount. I don't think we will be able to make the iPhone version free to beta testers since its a closed market and there's a limited quantity of promo codes. But that said, I think it would be fair to give promo codes to those who find the most bugs All clients will be connecting to the same servers. Also, I didn't want to reveal too much right now but we are having a mechanism in place for submitting stuff you create out of blocks. Houses, castles, etc... If we like what you submit it will be added to the randomly generated stuff we place all over the map. Oh, and if you haven't already done so, sign up for the beta!
No, but as soon as I do I will post it here We do have an ballpark estimate but we have found in the past that these are not always accurate and can take more or less time than estimated. So rather than give you an estimate and possibly let you guys down (again, sorry for not being released last year, I really thought we could make it), I'd rather give you guys notice when it is ready (hence the beta signup page).
Haha, no worries insta-buy! It's definitely worth the wait. That's cool that everyone is able to beta test the windows/Mac version, but I'm still more excited for the iPod version. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to hear/see more from you guys!
