2.0 beta?

[Onisake]

Who gets in will largely depend on what they want to accomplish.

If they are testing hardware compatibility (new graphics engine, very possible) it will depend on the specs of your machine.

A lot of times testing things like the UI, balancing, etc. comes as a secondary goal in beta. you may find this a little odd, but while testing hardware you're testing this too. because it's something that will happen independent of machine specs it becomes a secondary criteria when selecting applicants. if you have experience beta testing, obviously you'll have an advantage.

the beta will likely be in phases. initial phase i'm guessing will be hardware compatibility. followed by server stress testing. the whole while they will be looking at testing out the new UI and some of the new systems. we aren't really revamping abilities (except crafting) so balancing will likely come in at a very low scale. unless they've changed the damage/enmity formulae, in which case balancing will come into play. but seeing how short the beta phase is. it's most likely server testing and hardware compatibility.

how long you've played is really irrelevant. I would love to see the people who stuck with it get rewarded. but that's what legacy was all about. you're getting a cheaper sub fee. a mount. and more character slots.

it's a really bad idea to look at it as 'I deserve to get in.' because, really, why? you've been loyal? Legacy takes care of that. You don't really deserve anything.

it should be more 'I am a great applicant because...' I've beta tested over 25 MMOs. Inclduing TSW, SWTOR, FFXIV, HGL, LOL, Aion, and Terra. Have great PC specs and know how to trouble shoot. I'm an active member of the community and help with troubleshooting wherever I can.

Unless SE still has our PC specs logged (and they probably don't) you will likely need to sign up.
