Are you talking about an actual job? Or do you just want to beta test an MMORPG?

They are 2 completely different things.

Of the Q&A jobs I've seen, communication skills are a must, so I'd get cracking on that if I were you.

Oh, and did you try Googling it?

No longer visiting MMORPG.com.

QA is pretty much a dead end job. You could be stuck there testing game for 5 years getting paid as little as $12-13 and hour with no bonus, no medical or dentel plan, and you can get layoff anytime.  It's a very easy job. You need to havea decent writing skill, because you will haveto write up bugs and it to you boss and he will get all the credits for it.  It seems very cool and fun at first, but  after awile it's really depressing.  By time you realize this and try to lookfor a new job you have wasted 5 years of your life and got no experience.
If you're looking to become a programer or a game designe, then this is your first step in the door. There will be a lot of butt to kiss. I'm lucky I quit the QA job after about 4 months.

in-freaking-deed.

There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety?

SURVIVAL OF THE FITEST DOES NOT MEAN THE MOST BRUTAL, JUST THE CHOSEN AND DESTINED ONES.

DUDE.........YOU NEED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST GAMERS IN HISTORY........AND KNOW GAME PROGRAMING AND GAME DESIGNING AND STUFF........ALL OF IT NEEDED TO MAKE A GAME AT LEST ON LEVEL ONE OR SOMETHING......... FOR A BETA..... JUST THE  BEST EQUIPMENT IN THE PLANET .........AND OF COURSE ........A SUPER FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE OR NO LIFE.....THE SECOND ONE WOULD ACTUALLY HELP BETTER.........AND IF YOU WANNA BE A NON MMO GAME TESTER THAN ......LIKE I SAID.... SUPER SKILLS ........AND TO KNOW EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE...........FOR BETA YOU DONT REALLY NEED MUCH PEOPLE SKILLS...........JUST IF YOUR LIKE ONE OF THE ONES WORKING AFTER THE  TESTING PERIOD.........BETAS PLAY GAMES........THEN IF LUCKY GET A FREE MONTH SUBSCRIPTION AND THEYR SALARY........... THE PEOPLE SKILLS ARE FOR THOSE GUYS THAT ARE SERIOUS.........AND IF ANYBODY......ANYBODY...... ASKS ABOUT GAME TESTING......THEN YOUR NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH...... YOUR GONNA HAVE A HELL LOT OF WORK TESTING ....... ITS A LOT MORE THAN EXPECTED........... DONT THINK ITS JUST PLAYING AND BAM.......... WHEN YOU FINISH GEARS OF WAR TELL ME AND ILL SEE IF I CAN GET YOU SOMETHING SOMEWERE...... IT HAS TO BE FINISHED IN SOLO MODE........AND IF YOU WANT MMO.........THEN DO RAMPAGING ON WOW....... OR  KILL ALL OF THE BETAS AFTER HELLGATE LONDON COMES OUT........THEN WELL TALK..........

It''s all about the fantasy baby!

haha So many test for free just to get a sneak preview. I have not seen that any game pays for testers when so many are doing it for free.
