Post by: MPTheory on November 21, 2002, 07:43:32 AM: how come you get to do so many beta tests cyg? Tell me your secret.. show me the way
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: juslight on November 21, 2002, 07:50:36 AM: YES!!!!!

Now we will instill fear into small woodland creatures together!!!!!

How long will we be able to test the game before they cut us off?????

I heard that everyone who signed up for the Beta Testing is going to get the Phase 3 DVD.
Is this their way of creating addicts before the game is released???

I\'ve got 677 damn emails in my inbox... probably 676 of it are spam. I guess it\'s time to close that email address... but I have so many things signed up to use the address.

EDIT: Yep, I got one. Kinda odd they\'re starting beta 3 so early, tho.

Post by: GigaShadow on November 21, 2002, 11:40:25 AM: No kidding didn\'t phase 2 just start? WTF?
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: CygnusXI on November 21, 2002, 01:46:08 PM: Well....no secret trick for beta...
I did do the old Playstation Underground sign-up, and I always send in the postcard registrations you get when you buy a new game... (gotta pimp your name/addy whenever possible)

Other than that, guess I\'m just lucky that way:)

Title: Come on, it isn\'t all that hard
Post by: Bordael on November 21, 2002, 08:20:52 PM: If you want to get involved in the next Phase of Beta for EverQuest Online Adventures, the coming MMORPG title for PlayStation 2, all you need is a PS2 with a network adapter and some interest in Fantasy Role Playing Games - then point your web browser to

http://everquestonlineadventures.station.sony.com/

and click the Beta III Registration link. Nothing to buy, no obligation, just the chance to take in a cool RPG title before it hits the shelves.

Hope to see you in Beta!

I guess so man. Hey we\'ve had some others like him come in here before. Its not like this forum doesnt attract the big boys. Remember about zapper? the Cricket with an aditude? buahhahaha. anyway, I cant wait to get phase III.
Title: Yup, I\'m for real
Post by: Bordael on November 22, 2002, 09:49:19 AM: If you guys are interested and have your network adapter, then come check the game out in Beta III.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: CygnusXI on November 22, 2002, 10:49:31 AM: Yes.
Bordael is for real.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: juslight on November 22, 2002, 10:58:02 AM: Bordael,

Are they having trouble getting enough people to test the game? It seems like they are trying extra hard to get people to help out.

PS - Can I borrow your job for a sec. ;)
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: Bordael on November 22, 2002, 11:08:18 AM: We have had huge response, but not everyone has the network adaptor. Also, we really want to pound the game _hard_ before release so it is as solid as possible, and we want to let everyone who wants to get in and help the opportunity to do so.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: juslight on November 22, 2002, 11:27:26 AM: What feedback, if any, are you looking to get from people involved in phase 3? Are you just wanting to test out your servers to see how they handle the masses of PS2\'s?

How long will phase 3 be in "play"?

Are they using "phase 3" as a way to get people "hooked"?
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: GigaShadow on November 22, 2002, 11:34:05 AM: Ok I guess you are for real :) Anyway, I was going to send some more feedback, but I assume the Beta III DVD\'s are being created as we speak.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: Bordael on November 22, 2002, 12:07:59 PM: Juslight - we do hope to test out our servers with increasing loads of numbers of players. It is mission critical for us to have a rock solid back end. We have seen this in previous phases of beta where we have had high numbers of log ins, but because people couldn\'t stay connected, they didn\'t stay playing, which is not going to cut it come release time.

Also, we have consistently seen where a large number of people will uncover issues we didn\'t find in our testing process (al la EverQuest on the PC). By including a lot of people in these latter stages of Beta we hope to present a really polished, rock solid game come release.

Post by: juslight on November 22, 2002, 12:10:19 PM: How many characters can you have with the Beta versions?

anyone?
Title: 8 characters per account per server
Post by: Bordael on November 22, 2002, 12:12:45 PM: although there is only one server up for the various Beta tests but there will be multiple servers at launch to accomodate everyone.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: GigaShadow on November 22, 2002, 12:28:39 PM: Having played EQ on the PC for 2 years this is quite different. I look forward to the next beta.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: juslight on November 22, 2002, 06:43:38 PM: What are some differences Giga? I\'ve never played EQ.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: pats8383 on November 23, 2002, 08:51:42 AM: I\'ve never played the PC version but I caught a biography about EQ on G4 TV and I couldn\'t wait for it to come out for the PS2...Or the Beta III version.
Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: GigaShadow on November 24, 2002, 01:30:13 PM: More options in the original PC version. Also it takes much longer to level. It still takes long to level in EQOA, but its cut down dramatically. Also there are so many different clothing options and looks even for low level characters. Being this is only the 2nd beta it will be interesting to see what they have added for phase 3.

The PC version is much more time consuming. Then again I haven\'t seen everything this game has to offer. I wonder what the monthly fee will be. Surely it won\'t be the same as the PC version. I hope.

Title: EVERQUEST - PHASE 3 Beta testers!!!!
Post by: nataku on December 07, 2002, 03:07:29 PM: Just got my Beta 3 CD. I\'m not even sure I\'ll use it... phase 2 got boring, fast. I know you\'re supposed to test the game, but damn, how can I test something so boring. I nearly fall asleep. :crap:

Myabe I\'ll log in if I hear of some big new thing they added.

EDIT: A chat with the developers, if anyone is interested. Click (http://eqoa.crgaming.com/viewarticle.asp?Article=12)

They\'ve fixed some things... might log in tonight to see how it works.

Hopefully my characters name will be Nataku.
