As most of you already know, we recently sent out a survey to active users asking them if they wanted to take be part of our Live Test Server. A lot of you sent back your surveys, too many for us take all at once, so if you didn’t get a response, don’t worry, we’ll be adding more users to the test over time so there’s still a chance you’ll be selected. I’ll be delivering the acceptance emails on Monday and we plan to start the test on Tuesday, so keep an eye on your inboxes.
Along with the acceptance, you’ll also get a set of links to download the test server client and instructions. Once you get your links, you’ll want to start the download right away as it comes in several parts and the download could take some time to complete.
You guys that were selected, you’re going to see a lot of changes … so many, in fact, that it may be overwhelming at first. To guide you through the process, we’ll be posting change notes and survey questions in the Live Test forums that only testers can access. The survey questions will guide you through testing by telling you what information the devs are looking for in your feedback. Of course, all feedback is welcome, but these questions should guide your game play and your feedback should, by and large, be based on answering them.
Also remember that if you are selected, you are bound by an NDA to not discuss what you see on the test server outside of the Live Test forums or the test server chat.
If you didn’t return your test survey for any reason – I guess you’re maybe not a fan of fun, or something crazy like that – there’s still time. Submit it and you’ll still be able to take part in future testing.
Thanks to everyone who applied and I look forward to seeing you all on the test server starting Tuesday!
