Incentives?

[blondeattk]

As a new player who joined p99 in nov, I cant afford the time to join the beta.

My main is low 50s and i generally have less than 1kpp to my name.

Any spare time cant be wasted on being a guinea pig. Quite frankly am being asked to work for nothing.

WOuld like to help out, but limited play time has to be spent on trying to move my main forward.

Theres no incentive for lowbie players to help out. SO imo dont complain about there being noone on beta. We just cant afford the time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The incentive for everyone is the same: the expedited release of Velious.

In Velious, you too can pursue the glory.

Where did the staff complain that there wasn't enough people on beta?

[TWDL_Prexus]

Do people really think they are doing some type of service to the devs by playing here? I honestly doubt they care either way. If people don't feel like testing it will just take longer for it to go live.

tldr; you get nothing, good day sir.

To be honest playing the regular servers has its value too.

There's always someone that turns up and reminds us of something.

And hey, not everyone is some EQ savant that can pimp our classic ride.

`It sucks that people aren't exploring Beta. One reason is because the bosses/Gods aren't there. TOV/Mischief isn't in yet at all. Many of the regular zone quests (and kills) there now can be done fairly quickly. It took me a few weeks to do what I wanted.`

I am not sure it sucks(well maybe) as much as being very predictable. Seems naiive assuming that players on p99 can afford the time to play test content VS do important RL stuff vs have fun on the reg server. I dont knwo the exact demograpics, but id bet that 60% of the server are 27-33 or older. eg Not not some bloated teenager sitting in mommys basement living their life in VR all day long. Now I know that many of us since 1999 have done this sometimeor another during our EQ addiction (in 2004 i played eq almost daily for 10months) But actually many of us have managed to control our habit and can set time limits.

this week ive rarely seen more than 10 in the beta. working as intended?

I wouldn't want reward to play Beta as much as I would like direction... EQ savant I am not, so a little guidance as to what needs work would help... I actually look at server pop every time I log in and really wish I could help... Just don't know where to start...

Just log in and check it out. Jump in the water. Cast some spells. Try to break the game. If you see something you know looks wrong, post in discussion. If you have historical proof, then post a Bug thread.
