    From personal experience,, they only do beta testing on a separate server (not test) when it comes to expansions (paid content). The new engine is not an expansion, it's an update for the game which will be free.
    Well I think most of us are referring to this portion of the original post:

Lots of people, players and developers, have signed up to test this with us, and you should expect a lot of test live updates while we're testing it, as we will be adjusting the experience based on feedback.
    It could be bad wording but the original post specifically says 'signed up to test this with us'. No one needs to sign up to join the test server so that pretty much implies that there's something else going on... and I guess we're wanting the details on the sign-up process.

    Hmm, I find it out of norm for FC to have a "beta signup" for something which is neither an expansion or true new content. They are reworking the way a new player starts so they get a better understanding of the game which should help player retention to avoid the frustration of the current starting area where a lot of new players quit.

    I remember the original starting area, the backyards (which still exist to this day); a few years later they revamped it slightly by adding new NPC's and even a quest.

    Newbie Island was introduced in late 2004 and over time has been slightly modified, new signs, nerfed of dyna loot, etc. but no serious revamp.

    I have high hopes for the new player experience, actually I'm very excited to see how they do the tutorials. For this very reason, I would sign up for this "beta", however the logical way would be to have in the Test Live server.

    You are correct. However, the population numbers are dropping, and out of the current active players, there is even a smaller percentage who even read the official forums.

    Unless they send a mass mail with a newsletter inviting people to join the beta, there may be even less players involved than in the test server itself.

    To reinforce something that was apparently lost on a few people - first, meaning, there will most likely be a public beta after internal testing is finished. I'd bet my Hellcom points on it.

    Quick Question:

    Server merge - when?

    I like PvP

    There is no official sign-up. Just get on testlive when we patch it. I don't want to speak for Fia, but I'm pretty sure what she meant was that specific players within the testlive community have already indicated they would be willing help test the NPE.

    You know you might want to announce this and all. Secondly, you might actually get some good testing if you offer, idk, incentives to test this stuff. 1000 FC points, piece of 300 combined, acdc, whatever, but something useful to compensate us taking time out of our lives to try and break your stuff worse.

    They already compensate you by releasing game patches with a "smaller" amount of bugs than what likely previously existed. There is no need to compensate you or anyone else further for wanting to play a game or participate in the evolution of said game.

    You either help or you don't. but if you choose not to then you have no right to complain. As Ben Parker once said "With great power comes great responsibility".

    You have the power to determine some of the features that go into this new experience. You can choose to utilize it for good or simply not to use it at all.

    I can agree with you regarding the announcement on say the test servers when this content comes to test instead of simply posting new update patches in the forums to assist in spreading the word but as far as any incentives go, aside from getting to participate, I would be happy with a social shirt that says "b3t4 T35t3r" with a picture of a l33t breaking something....

    Regards,
