Once an month for maybe a weekend or possible Fri-moday would it be possible to take down the MV and replace it with Beta with all updates so everyone has to test and the admins/mods/devs cab observe how things look and make changes acording to whats happening give everyone who plays and help a bit of bonus prestige and maybe a few credits for any helpfull reviews/insights

i think its better just to lock the normal server thus forcing ppl to log into beta, then upload eveerything to normal server and back for a day.

for the rest, i like this idea. maybe not fixed moments each month is neccesairy, but more in the form of when dev wanna test something more extensive, normal server gets locked.

Another way to fix this problem is if ppl would actually gladly help any dev in development... I personally always respond when i see a dev asking for someone to test.

i agree but appently some people either cannot read or do not check the forums or CBA to test so this would kinda make them and i kinda understand leveling takes a while in this game and beta earns you no xp whatsoever so why go there ?

nope. we will not be shutting down the release servers just to 'encourage' people to beta test. that's not a thing that will happen.

Just encourage people to play beta........ with Credits or something.

I mean they're helping the game and for there efforts let them be rewarded by gving them somthing wether it be a good enh or credits that would work alot better

the thing is that beta is totally unreliable, and would probably just refuse to work.

I like to think us being able to push out Beta and you being able to enjoy a better game are all benefits of players giving feedback on Beta features...

It's not like us developers get any rewards for our work from anyone.

I personally don't think that would be a fair idea. Some of us can't play 5, 6, 10 hours a day. I am lucky if I can get on for an hour of solid play time a day. There are days where I can't even get that. Logging on to get my 45 minutes of playtime for the week, only to find out the server is "locked" in order to force me to play the beta would be absolutely infuriating. I am sure I am not the only one that has a busy life and can only get on rarely that would not appreciate that. The reward idea would probably work, and I don't really see why people who have the time to play the game regularaly can't spend an hour or so on the beta server.
