I wanted to give you all a heads up on where we’re at with our beta testing and when you might expect to get an invite. We’ve been running twice a week beta tests for the past few weeks and the results have been very promising. Most of this testing has involved things on the server-side, rather than balance or client issues. We wanted to make sure we had a nice stable infrastructure before introducing new bugs into the scenario.
We are currently working on putting together a new client for release to our beta testers. There are a whole lot of changes in that build that need to all go through internal testing before beta testers have their taste. We hope that process will be complete this week so that we can get a new build out there shortly after Thanksgiving. Although, most of the team is taking some time off on Thursday and Friday to spend time with their families.
Once our beta testers have had a chance to prove that there’s no catastrophic problems, we will begin inviting additional testers into the beta program. We are still finalizing the exact number of users, but we expect to see in excess of 3000 new testers in the next round.
I will be posting an update once we are ready to send out invites so that you all know when to check your e-mails. In the meantime, have a great Thanksgiving (for you Americans out there).
Cliff Notes:
- Testing going well.
- Need to test new client internally and externally.
- Once new client is tested, and working, we will invite additional users.
- No exact dates yet.
