Ok, so there is still quite a bit of stuff to be added but the overall mapping is complete. Once I'm done with updating the item system, I have to revamp the shop system. Once that's done I have to finally get around to doing the graphics compression. There are some other things I have to do but basically, assuming we can get some quests and do a bit of pre-testing of our own, we *should* be ready for a beta in a few weeks. Now, I really don't want to open this up to everyone and anyone who wanders by. I need you, if you want to beta test, to actually log on and play. To do quests, kill monsters and give us feedback. The whole point of this is to a) give you guys a little taste of what you've been waiting for workout bugs c) stress test the server and d) get feedback on what's good, what needs improvement, etc. That said, it will be open to all forum members who are willing to go by what I just wrote. If you are actually willing and interested (and I really mean it, if you are going to login once just to see it and then leave, please don't waste our time, you can wait for the full game) then please leave a post here. I will keep a list and PM with information on where to get the client when we are ready.

Thanks guys and gals. Have a good week!

Im up for the test; running into every corner, testing out the swear censors!
and plus, ive been needing a bit of a break from my possesion by maplestory.

see you in game?

[Caseyweederman]

Oh Dracky, you have no idea how much I look forward to breaking your game.
Hm. Yes. I'm going to break it. And then I'm going to break it again. And again.
It's what I love.

[Rytiko]

Eh, why not? I haven't been waiting nearly as long as most, but still. I'm in.

[Queztatlapoca]

i'd like to give it a shot if i may

[Nalyid]

Ummm, would it be possible if I tested?? I would love it ever so much I would guvna

Hmm...No I don't think that's a good idea.

Hey! I'm the only almost genuine cockney on these forums you thomas tanker!

I'm up for genuine beta testing in terms of actaully trying to break it rather than levelling up

[Kinewa]

If I have to download it, things might get difficult. My mom's boyfriend is being VERY controlling of the computer since we reformatted it. I'm not even allowed to download Firefox.

Otherwise, I would love to test the game out.

[Drackir]

I'm sure we can figure something out.

[rickoshay818]

Well, i was just wondering in the fourms when all the sudden i see a thread name with the words "beta" and "test" together! I jumped up and started doin weird stuff. So, my point is, I guess ill test. And i agree to those circumstances.

[Kinewa]

I'm sure we can figure something out.

That sounds excellent!

[Caseyweederman]

Dracky> I'm wrassling with Halo at the moment. Overcoming that obstacle will certainly boost my confidence.
It's so close!

[Drackir]

I took another stab at it and I managed to figure out the networking problem. The problem now is that after the maps load (and they load a lot slower on linux) I get an error that says "Invalid property value." I have no idea what would cause this error but yeah I'm gonna have to try to get the visual basic editor on it so I can debug things. It's moving forward...slowly.

Thats not a very nice sig casey... And thats sad to know drack, sry.

[Caseyweederman]

I was just reading that thread again and it struck me as completely, totally random and silly.
Where the heck did it even come from???
That's why I love it.

[Drackir]

Thats not a very nice sig casey... And thats sad to know drack, sry.

What's sad? That I can't get it to work in linux? Well I just means that I'll have to figure out a way to install VB IDE in linux and then make changes everytime something weird comes up.

[Neonyo]

I know u did not forget about me beta testing the game, since i was here from the get go (

[CoreTechs]

I think that I would like to jump on this bandwagon of Beta testers. I'm trying to reinsert myself into these forums again.

(I should start making some more podcasts... )

[Neonyo]

Hey did remember me! Beware to get pawn by the amazing Neonyo!!!
