We are going to be testing feature parity and some of the performance increases on the source update, and need players who are willing to actively test.

I am only selecting people who are likely to do thorough testing, and also am only going to select people who are able to mostly solo content as we are not going to be selecting a lot of players.

I'd be down to try... I can't solo a whole lotta things completely but I can sure as heck give a try and keep on going, so I'll toss my name into the hat

I have beta testing experience [dungeon raid bosses RIFT when I lived in San Diego]; & got free time through December.

Do the beta testers that get selected just get their accounts copied over from the main server, or do they get some standard equip or something like that btw?
We'll probably use the latest backup from maintenance, so you can just use your normal accounts.

Beta testers will need to be part of the Discord, as they are added to the Discord channel for testers so that they can report there and we can add it to the bug tracker.

I'm also going to only accept people who I know can mostly solo content for testing as we do not want to have a lot of testers at one time as then it becomes annoying to interact with everyone. We'll probably only do 5-10 testers, maybe more afterwards if a tester is not actually testing.

This hasn't been forgotten, we have just been doing a few additional things with the client. We may or may not wait to do the testing until we finish two additional changes (removal of guild inheritance and a security change), but I will talk to Dragon to see what he thinks and come to a decision over the weekend.

I'm currently preparing a new web-based installer to install a Beta client (so I can also test that with active players) but we are looking at doing the beta test this weekend more than likely.

I am probably only going to select around ~5-10 players, who I know are active, who have been communicative of issues and understand the game and gameplay, and also mostly those that are active on the Discord, as it is faster for communication.

The main point of this test is to just test feature parity, and performance testing.
