In the big betas I did (Ultima Online for example) you would be luck to have "only" 90%. But on the other side, open betas tend to be seen as a kind of "freeware" game. I am sure a lot of people really believe they get a free game here and are actually shocked when it turns out that a beta is real work...
You also beta-tested Ultima Online?

Which part of it - the first release or one of the expansions?

Well....it wasn't exactly known what were the graphical requirements when the first round started.

But a new graphics card is on the top of my to-do list atm :)

It was one of the expansions, 3rd Dawn it was. Heck, we didnt even have an affortable internet connection here when the original UO was release.

These were the times, played that thing four years :)

Not just hard work, but work of a kind I have found myself ill suited for.. coming nowhere near my self-expected efficciency. So after a few attempts, i think ill better stay out ;)

Still i would love to play with the numbers, and figure out combinations.. so if anyone feels like sending me data on the buildings, goverments and such ill be happy to do some brainstorming on those alone :)

Ah, I tested that one as well. Got sent an alpha copy due to my connection to the Crossroads of Britannia site (or, rather, the sister site for the unfortunately scrapped UO2). Almost ended up on the official tester team, but then EA decided to scrap the volunteer programs...

Incidentally, if anyone has a high level of historic knowledge about Asia, that would be considered a definite "plus" for your chances of acceptance. :)

Able to assist with the various database files without making errors that are likely to incur the wrath of the public. Having a university-level history couse on that region under your belt would be good....basically you'd need good competance of major things/issues in that egion during the full EU3 era, and have access to resources to research various things in depth. Spending an hour on the internet in Wiki reading up on it would not suffice.

Might be fine if you're already leaning towards that region in your specialization (and could end up being highly valuable for your university studies too ;)).

Oh I signed up. Again. I'm trying not to be fatalistic about this but...

To post what I said in my beta test application, I'm hoping to get in to try to get a fix to historical inaccuracies in the Maritimes before it goes to market, rather than after. I figure people might be more receptive during the beta to this sort of things. Especially if I get in for Historical Research.

That said, Good Luck everyone!
