can we take a second to unpack one piece of information that im finding kind of interesting:

Since we have over 700 people sign up for the beta testing ....
not gonna lie, i didn't even think we had 1000 people left here, the fact that 700 are in the alpha testing and they are bringing in more AND i have yet to actually run into anyone who is IN the testing....
well colour me impressed!

Only 50 were In the first round. 700 applied, so they feel that is enough to choose from that batch.

I think it said 700 applicants which is very different than 700 people. If it's some of the housing / scripting people with 10+ accounts that number can easily be divided by 5-10.

To completely steal something from Vic - I think a more realistic number of people applying was likely between 100 and about tree-fitty.

I'm glad they are bringing in more applicants. When I initially read that, I started wondering if they are asking for more people to test server load / have more types of people test different things or if it was because out of the 50 applicants they initially chose only X percent of people are still actively testing (ie they brought on some people that logged in once or twice and haven't been back). It might be a little bit of both but I would imagine that it's going to be hard finding testers that would rather spend time on NL Alpha instead of Halloween content (Feudal ToT).

My guess is that the first 50 testers said "this sucks" and quit playing already.
i was wondering if it was a language barrier. when i was signing up I was seeing lot of them chatting with foreign characters near the statue.

If you select 50 people it may that not all Show up. As I heard that the playerbase life in different timezones. So if you need support from each other you are alone if not living in the major tz.
That cause Frustration and Therefore only half of 50 Stay there.
They should use 300 for Such an test.

That would be everyone that’s left playing

At least they wouldn’t need the NDA
