MMO- beta testers recruiting [free gift given]

[SBR*]

Sheeeeeesh, talk about not planning ahead.

Actually the website isn't complete and sending the link as it is would lead to any web designer smacking their head into pieces if frustration at the layout.

When the new site comes, they'll be links everywhere.

As for the free accounts thing. Beta testers are all getting the same offer. A free ingame shirt and a free account on one term. They must have at least 3 friends join saying they were invited by the beta tester (don't invite them to the beta, but for the actual games release). This option has always been a plan but it can't go ahead until the sites up anyway.
All beta testers will get 100% free access to the game in the beta. Once the beta is over they will get 3 hours free until they have 3 friends join. Then once they have joined they'll receive a code to enter and it'll unlock the game forever.
The idea of course is you start talking to them when beta starts. Once beta is complete you invite them to play and tell them to remember to say you were recommended by your ingame username.

The recommendation button will appear on the website so you don't have to worry about them having to hassle through emailing me saying they were recommended.

I and all my friends never pay to play online games, unless it is a one-time payment, like GW. So this way, it's a no-deal...

FYI, I have a boris(dot)blizzard(at)chaos-project(dot)com address. xD

@Delusian: I think the offer for a lifetime free account doesn't seem unreasonable. You will surely get a good amount of beta testers for your game and you don't have to accept everybody after all. Compared to the number of actual players later on, the beta testers won't probably be much of a loss (in money).

Can I betatest too? I helped beta-test asheron's call (an old MMO from at least 10 years ago). I found a few bugs in it.

Does beta testing include grammar checking? Because if the game is like the website, there will be a lot of grammar errors, and frankly, you would lose a lot of customers if they couldn't understand what you were trying to say

yea the website was quickly put up over night. It's being completely redone. The website host isn't great. If you wish to edit any text it completely messes everything up in your code. Hence buttons moving all over the place, text going way to long without scrollers and stupid squares appearing in the middle of text?

Beta testers

The game isn't a one off payment but is very cheap. Beta testers will be able to play for free once the game is released.

Testers will be expected to test the game thoroughly and when requested to do something, such as battle another character, they will be expected to do it.

When your testing the game I'd also love to hear good points, what you want to see more of, a way to improve and such. This will be great in making the game better, more exciting and all around better!

I still want all the testers to enjoy themselves and have fun wondering around and such. So feel free to email me (email is below)

I'd still appreciate beta testers recommending to their friends. It's not much to ask, it'll give us slight advertisement and after all, you don't have to pay to play.

Beta testers will also get a free ingame T-shirt to show others they were beta testers.

Testers are also going to have a straight advantage in game because they would have been playing it before hand anyway and could get levels above starting players.

Keep the convo going on here because it's great to have feedback in any way shape or form.

But beta testers that agree to that please email me at alexjayshow@hotmail.com so that I can send you a link to where you have to go next.

->I'm not really interested in the free lifetime access & shirt. I'd rather see a good game everyone enjoys to play. I'd help in betatesting but don't expect me to be online all the time (since I still have school). I specialize in map critique, grammar & spelling (I've posted some errors I spotted in your last post as an example) and, skill development. You can always contact me through here or through my email: giogsgs12@gmail.com

My only condition is to have my project advertised in your game for at least 3 months (a small advertisement would do) as soon as my project's finished.

Hope we have an agreement of terms!!!

I guess that means 'no'...

Testers don't have to invite 3 people to play. I would still really appreciate it, as they are getting a lot for only testing a game.

We've already had a lot of beta testers email me but all testers still interested email me at:

alexjayshow@hotmail.com

Beta testers will stop being accepted after the 7th.

Alright, umm and since I'm already in the group, I'm figuring out that I don't need to email you?
And umm, I checked the site out and X: and I find the design way to simple
Especially the logo, so if you think so too, just to let you know I'm really good with designing websites
And I'd be more then glad to help.
