MMORPG.com:
Can you tell us a little bit about the structure of Star Trek Online's beta process?
Daniel Stahl:
While employees and our friends and family have been playing the game for the last year, Star Trek Online started the Beta process this last fall by inviting players to help us with focused weekly play tests. We would prepare a new patch of content, and then ask players to focus on a specific area of testing to give us quality feedback on the system under scrutiny.
In addition we have been monitoring the technology behind the game making detailed changes to how our servers perform. Now that we've passed some of our technical hurdles, we are opening up the content in the game and letting players progress as far as possible and give feedback.
