I know that it's probably going to take a while longer but I can't resist. NW2 sounds like it is going to be sweet and since I've looked at earlier posts saying that it would have been ready January 2004 I can't help but be impatient. Could you please give us an estimate on when the beta will be ready?

I'll give you all an inside scoop since, everyone asks this so frequently:
I am coding it right now.

Hey Kenpachi
Yeah, sorry about all those old posts with wrong dates. You see, I was working on NW2 by myself for a while, then I got some friends involved, then they fell of, then they came back, etc, etc. I kept saying things like "oh yeah, this summer, it'll be done" but I never was able to get it. That's why I stopped giving dates. We are working on it right now. It will be done soon, But I'm not giving any more false dates. You guys will be notified of closed beta, then open beta, then release. It will get done, we're getting it done, and it will be great.
If you don't stick around, we'll keep your email and let you know when it's ready.
Sorry for the delay.

OK I understand. It's just that it seems like it's going to be amazingly fun and I can't wait. I'm kinda new to programming lingo so I'm wondering if closed beta when you guys play it yourselves or if you allow a few NW players to test it and open beta open to everyone on the net. Keep doing your thing, it looks like this is going to be sweet. ;D

Yes, a closed beta is an invite only testing session. An open beta is a testing session where everyone is invited.

just a suggestion but you could have say the top 100 or so players in the NW rankings test the closed beta.

If you have to be a high ranking to play the closed beta, then I'll have to strive even harder. Is rank 35 enough?

Some preliminary disccusions held by our beta team* regarding requirements to play beta:
a) Pay money b) Send Food c) Bribe (non money or food) d) Favors e) Arbitrary Selection
*Our actual discussion was really just me making stuff up.

What food does the beta team want?

Post by ShadowNoa on Aug 15, 2006 16:26:37 GMT -5
So, seriously, what are the requirements to play closed beta? Is it in-game requirements, or others?

That'd be sometime I'd have to bookmark, sending food so you can be on the beta team; something to go down in firesword's book that has no name of...amusing things? It's a work in progress, though if we have to pay then I can't test it, drat!

The beta team(TM from other thread) is in the mood for a steak hoagy, a large mountain dew, and perhaps a bag of chips (any flavor that clogs my arteries faster, makes my fingers fatter, and rots my teeth quicker)
oh, and anything from McDonalds dollar menu.
* This list is subject to change.

There are no hard and fast rules for who will get into closed beta. I know we like to joke, but to answer seriously, it's our own discretion. Your level of activity, the amount of time you've been around, your forum activity, everything will go into consideration in inviting people to the closed beta.

So basically you're not telling us?

Post by kenpachi on Aug 19, 2006 19:00:40 GMT -5
Well it's not not telling us. I'm guessing it's kind of a cumulative effect, like when colleges look for people. There are people ranked higher than I am who haven't been on for a month. There are people who have been playing sporadically for longer than we have. I'm sure Beagle and Suavy will find a good group of testers. ;D Also maybe we should change the name of the thread to "Beta Testing"? I mean, thats what most of the posts are about now.

Yeah, well, I just want to know my chances of getting in.

ShadowNoafor starters you could sign up for an account... ...now i've said too much!

Post by kenpachi on Aug 22, 2006 13:32:40 GMT -5
What kind of crazy talk is this? You want to do something so you sign up for it? This is way out there for me man.
P.S. Do you mean a separate account or the one we already have in NW. If we need to set one up elsewhere where would we find it?

All good things are a mystery to begin with; there'd be no guessing without it after all.

oh come on we all know exactly what will happen. Beagle will email everyone in the came to come to a certain location and there we will have a ninja free-for-all battle royale death match to decide who will participate in the closed beta. After that the beta testers will be killed to ensure secrecy.
