With the Beta stress test this weekend, I would like to ask that members of all factions refrain from any major activity in the MV for the duration of the test. Perhaps the MV could be shut down for the weekend to "encourage" individuals to participate in the beta test.
Thank you

Faustus cant take down the metaverse because its what people pay to use. Some people just want to play in the MV and dont care about beta (sadly enough).

Yeah, that's the problem. We gotta keep as many players as we can, even if t hney don't play beta. Was a good idea though.

There could always be a little "accident" with the server.
In all seriousness though, I'm just asking that all the major players in the MV refrain from any major activities such as attacking nme systems. You can go cap neutrals in your own systems to your hearts content, I'm just asking that people stay out of systems that aren't already being fought over at the moment.
Since beta as it is maybe be the release version as early as next week, the mv will probably be reset when the new version is loaded onto the release servers, and thus anything that is happening right now will be meaningless.

Note : Beta Server was empty while UGTO freely attacked the K'luth - there were no K'luth to defend.

You realise theres little point in playing release btw...if the beta goes well MV will be reset and 1.483 will be releases within 2 weeks or so. Might aswell play test that instead than fighting a battle that will most probably be one sided and lost....and then in a few days when its over..be reset!

I'd like to Beta test but have given up on the dam thing working, it doesn't. And considering the time it takes me to download a third time I'm not gonna do it.
The other problem is just finding the server (yes I have found it) it may be the reason why people don't go there. Put an easy link in the news and topic threads.
Anyways just pointing out why I'm never in Beta and maybe why newbies don't go there either.

just because it doesnt work for you, doesnt mean it doesnt work at all.

ooo letsee... lobby button -> darkspace beta. right margin -> darkspace beta. webbrowser -> beta.darkspace.net. if you run the beta client, it starts you in the beta lobby by default. thanks to draf posting news of the beta, and links to the beta client, more than a few newbies are starting in beta. what else... oh yeah.. ask a mod or admin, ask players that have been in beta...
did i miss anything else?

Ok you missed my points completly Doran.
1) Beta Doesn't work: If the Beta is not easy to use then people will not bother with it. I've tried to get it to work and it won't. It reminds me of the old verison coming out and DS not working for a couple weeks, its frustating.
Cool if ppl get it to work, I'm pointing out that it doesn't work for me so maybe = a few can't get it to work either. Perhaps is a bigger problem than you think?
2) Where is Beta?: Ok besides those of us familiar with computer geekery the Beta is hidden. There is a link at the bottom right that you must scroll down to. I don't even see it in the top downloads anymore (no Beta).
The latest news and topics are highlighted and can be seen, but other than that its like putting your new pushed product on the bottom of the shelf at the back of the store. Not up front and eye level.
Suggestions mearly because I care that Beta works and that people test it. I keep seeing posts about why nobody is in Beta, I'm simply attempting to answer those.
If you wish you can continue to scratch you head (or other parts) about why nobody plays Beta.
Yes it makes no sense why ppl are capping in MV if Beta will come out, but maybe there is a reason(s) for it.
