Face of Mankind

Lame.  I think people just make accounts to win, never see any of these people on the forum.

Laying in bed, looking up at the stars, a single thought passed through my head. Where the fuck is my roof?

I know kinda a let down huh. Here you are spending all your sleep time online waiting to see if you get in only to find out you don't... heh

Kinda just kills the fun of it all...

WhoWha!!!

Die!

Laying in bed, looking up at the stars, a single thought passed through my head. Where the fuck is my roof?

I'm on the forums quite often I think!

WhoWha!!!

I see about 5 or 6 of them in the forums, which means probably 10 to 12 are active here. I know I feel a bit let down.

MMORPG -- Where's the RP?

WhoWha!!!

Posting alot on a forum does not a good tester make. I could go to a random games forums and rack up an ungodly post count in a very short time, does thet make me anymore qualified than someone who doesn't sit there hitting refreshing every three seconds?

Not that it matters anyway, 75% of the people that go into a beta are just doing it to play a game for free, 15% are looking for bugs that they can exploit later once the game goes live. The other 10% actually try to test the game. Thats why all these MMOs that have a test server, it's dead. Like WoW. Everyone wants in beta, but they aren't interested in actually looking for bugs, they just want to play the game.

And people wonder why these games are so damn buggy when they're released.

Ok, I happily admit I singed up for the giveaway because I wanted to have a go at face of mankind for free, but while I'm not going to go out of my way to destruction test the game (My MMPORPG experience is fairly limited so there are probably plenty of people better at it than me) I'm still going to log any bugs/problems/queries I find and help out where I can.

Anyway, while I remember something about number of log-ins increasing the number of "goes" you got at winning, it was still ultimately down to dumb luck who got in and who didn't - if you're a decent beta tester just sign up at the site and put down your experience, then it's judged on quality rather than random chance (yay for the gods smiling on me this day!). If you get in that way they'll take a lot more notice of what you have to say than they ever will of me.
