Due to a rough week in classes, i won't be updating the closed beta to a second closed version. I will however be keeping up and fixing as many (if not all) problems presented by the closed beta testers for this weekend's OPEN BETA.


For those of you who are curious and want to help out some, I'm willing to mail out the map & server password to a second batch of closed beta testers. Everyone who wants to participate are required to add feedback in the closed beta thread here:

Interested? Make a post and PM me your email address and I'll send you all you need to test out orange final

I would like to first announce the opening of Round ONE of the Closed beta scheduled to begin on SUNDAY MARCH 7th @ 12 (noon) EST!! :gant-cool:

Now then, for the details!

• Closed Beta testers will be contacted on SATURDAY via forum PM with info on the server and requesting their email address
• They will also be sent the map file in the email. (note: there will no auto download to prevent unauthorized access)
• They will also be emailed the SERVER PASSWORD so they can get in!
• Testers are REQUIRED to post screenshots and commentary in the Closed Beta Discussion Thread (found here http://clanao.com/vbulletin/showthre...al-closed-beta)
• Testers are heavily encouraged to find at least 1 exploit each

This is how the testing will work.

• All closed Beta testers will be required to log into the server on the Sunday release date, but not at the exact same time (if you have to be late, it is cool! i will be in the server all day)
• After the 1st day, you are REQUIRED to post your thoughts and screenshots by the end of MONDAY day #2 (it is easiest to just post it all as soon as you log off to get it out of the way)
• After this time you will not be required to do anything else. It is preferable, to help the beta process, that you discuss with each other the various ideas you each come up with within the closed beta thread.

And now the FUN STUFF!

• During the middle of the week I will be taking MORE TESTERS to hop into a ROUND 2 of the closed beta to add fresh ideas. This will most likely be wednesday.
• The new testers are required to still do the same as the original testers, remember.
• For the seconds round, everyone will be mass emailed the new map file and the server password again! By wednesday I hope to have a new version taking your feedback and putting it into the map!
• What you think will matter right now!
• The following weekend the OPEN BETA will open on saturday around the same time!
• More info for the open beta will be posted next week!

OK so that is the short and skinny on testing! I want this release to be the most scrutinized out of all of the previous versions because IT IS THE FINAL ONE! If there is something you don't like, this is your chance to have it changed! It is a big deal folks! Now then, lets all get ready, clear out schedules and get to some testing!
