If anyone is interested in testing a new browser-based MMO game, let me know and I'll find you a Beta Key. I'm assuming anyone on this forum knows how to operate a browser, enjoys playing games, and can type English, so you're all qualified anyway  However, I will harass you until you give me feedback if you get a key, just so you know
#2 zombie_babies Feb 18, 2011 9:56:51	I don't have the time, unfortunately (I'm already doin' a piss-poor job of beta testing the VTT/Builder ) but I may have a friend or two that could be interested.  They were both just used as beta testers for the free version of Champions, actually.  If that's cool with you, I'll pass it on and see if there's any interest.
#3 pluisjen Feb 18, 2011 9:59:38	Sure, as long as they don't mind registering on the game forum and giving some feedback they're welcome
#4 zombie_babies Feb 18, 2011 10:03:57	I don't see that as an issue.  I'll pass it on and letcha know.  Cool.    Now hopefully my friends will help.  Heh.
#5 boraxe Feb 18, 2011 10:21:56	I might be able to put some time in. I was a beta tester for WotLK so I've some experience with the whole process.
#6 KillerGM Feb 18, 2011 11:50:59	What kind of MMO are you talking about?  How much time would be expected?  What kind of system requirements are there? Just curious.
#7 zombie_babies Feb 18, 2011 11:55:19	What's with the 3rd degree, man!??!
#8 KillerGM Feb 18, 2011 12:04:47	I'm a very busy lady.  I have to make sure of my commitments before I make them.
#9 ADHadh Feb 18, 2011 14:10:26	I'd be much more interested in developing an MMO than playing one... You could say a bit about the world Plu.
#10 Jharii Feb 18, 2011 14:14:40	I'll sneak a peek...  but I can't make severe time commitments.
#11 homicidal_squirrel Feb 18, 2011 14:49:38	Plu, I got free time. I don't do anything. I'm not working with any of my clients so I have all day to waste. I'll do it.
#12 pluisjen Feb 18, 2011 16:47:16	What is a browser and a MMO? The thing you use to read this reply and a silly game you play with lots of people, respectively   What kind of MMO are you talking about?  How much time would be expected?  What kind of system requirements are there? A browser based one; basically a text and images game with no downloads required. Something like Travian (travian.com/). That also means the system requirements are basically "Anything that can run a browser". (Yeah, that includes your iPhone if you want to play there) As for time expectations... anything you can afford. If you don't have a lot of time, you could always do a 'how much fun is this game for people with little time-test', as you won't be the only person who only plays for 15 minutes a day or something. I'd be much more interested in developing an MMO than playing one... Developing as in programming or world design? We work with outsourced coders so I can't help with the first, but maybe you could help with designing more of the world, the one for this project is pretty bland  It's set in the middle-ages, we've tried to keep it mostly realistic. You run a kingdom, and you get support from a bunch of knightly orders, and you have to control your own island and islands surrounding it. Gameplay wise it's not very original, unfortunately that was one of the design requirements  I'll try to obtain a bunch of beta-keys for those interested monday or tuesday.

That's exactly what I'd like to do! PM me details so I can send a proper job application! It's set in the middle-ages, we've tried to keep it mostly realistic.
