We are looking for the next group of Alpha testers.
As part of the Alpha test team, you will be asked to test all versions released during the closed Alpha period. The tasks may range from simply trying one thing, to full blown feature testing.
This is not a fun task. It is not "playing the game". It is quite boring, actually.
We had several players who signed up before, but never actually did anything. We had some players who could not stop making suggestions for improving things. Those types of issues are a distraction to the goal of an Alpha. Alpha testing is all about following instructions and reporting results.
You need to have an active game account. You need to commit to visiting the Alpha test forum, on the bulletin board, at least once a day. Now, we know real life happens and we are cognizant of that.
Not everyone who wants to help will be allowed in the Alpha test group. We will look at your previous interaction on the bulletin board and the game as well to give us a feel for your general attitude and communications abilities.
If you are accepted to the Alpha test team, you will see a new forum appear in the list (Alpha Graphics Engine Test). Simply wander in. There will be a post you will need to respond to in that forum. If you do not respond within a week of being added to the forum, we will assume you changed your mind and we will remove you from the test group.
While we could notify you, this is just the start of a simple test to see if you can follow instructions. If you fail here, then you would not make it in the Alpha group anyway.
