Just a note to let you know that an alpha version of WitP has finally made it out to the testers. There's a lot left to be done, but at least Matrix testers are able to start giving their input.

Trust me Admiral, a lot of work goes along with that privelege. I'm not just saying that to make it sound like beta testing isnt all fun, either.
Ok, it's a lot of fun.
But it really is work.
Mostly fun.

I think most of the betas are carry-overs from UV who asked for the opportunity when they requested volunteers. There have been a few additions since then but I dont know how they are selected.

Cool, I remember reading they actually expect you to test and not just play the game.Originally posted by Snigbert
