Source form 2Moons official forum.
Announced by GM Jillean:
So, this update is quite the mismash of things.
First off, yes we have started prelim testing. We invited the "100" back to test as well as added a few other testers, and they are doing really well at finding everything possible. We have different teams doing different things, one team is completely designed to just cheat, to find out if duping and other cheats are still possible. As soon as we find everything in the prelim testing we will send it in to GameHi, they will then send us a build back with the issues fixed. Here is some of them testing an instance...
Also, some of you may have seen some changes to the forums. Yes we are making some changes that will be unvieled this week. We are installing a reputation system (similar to Top Secret if you haven?t seen it, check it out), a subforum system, and an announcement system (which will display the top announcements). We will also be doing some cleanup on the current forums. We may have to shut the forums down for about an hour once we are ready to prep everything.
We are also getting a miRC channel setup for 2Moons. Yes, this means you can sit and chat to everyone all day long
. The moderators of the forums will be moderators of the miRC channel. We may need more mods for the channel and if that opportunity arises we may ask some of our VGM?s to fill in this spot. VGM?s will have their own channel to chat and talk about in game issues as well.
Speaking of VGM?s. We are doing a major VGM blast this weekend (I took a day off and we stopped reviewing for a moment). Have you seen how many people have applied? Absolutely crazy! We are hoping to have a full team a week before Open Beta rules out, we are working on a lot of aspects, such as the NDA/Abuse Affidavit, a very detailed plan for the VGMs.
So, everything is definitely moving along. We have a lot of things going on all at once.
