Seen at AOC forumsthe PvP weekend-client is a newer build than this one.Originally Posted by platinumjWell I personally know 7 people who are not in on this beta but are going to buy or pass on this game based on what I tell them. Just cause 20,000 people cancel doesn't mean it's only 20,000 people that wont buy the game because of it.Just using the example I used earlier, my friend and I pulled in 12 people between us to play City of Heros based on the beta they had.Then, honestly, you would be doing them a service by using the release client, without debug mode, if your feedback hinges upon performance. I dont want to pick a fight here. I am allowed to tell (now) that I am in beta, and may talk of my experience up to level 13.The game client we play with in closed beta is FAR FAR FAR better than what I have seen at a friends place on a superior rig from this stress test.In addition, pretty much all the bugs present (placeholders, wrong level reqs etc.) are gone, and a lot has been added, like better icons, animations and all.Age of Conan is in pretty good shape.
I dont really know why they insisted on using a rather old, bad-looking client for this test, but there will be reasons. The real beta client right now, up to 13 at least (not allowed to talk about other stuff due to NDA), is in excellent shape, and a ton of fun.

The general/closed/technical beta NDA isn't going to be lifted for rest of the game.

You are assuming 50k people do not like what they are seeing. So far though, I have seen more positive than negative overall. Sure there are people who don't like the game.
There are also people who wouldn't even like the game if it was the second coming due to their prior hate. But you have to remember that not just the doomsayers will tell their friends.As it is now, as I've stated before, there is more positive than negative experiences from what I gathered on these and on the Official AoC forums.shrug. Only time will tell if it remains that way.
Originally posted by MooonAs from today everyone in closed beta and tech beta plus the new open beta players will get the same client which is practically the release client.The server will go down at 4PM GMT and come back up with everyone playing the same client. Their will be 4 servers back up at 6pm GMT.I am saying nothing but by 7pm tonight their will be no more excuses from people like avery or funcom.Errr. Would you mind telling me where you get this from? Because I have rather different information.

Matter of fact, on the poll I'm running it is 2-1 of those that like it and those that don't. I'm not hiding anything on that. The stunner is undecided is leading the poll.

Again.-No, because i would be banned from these forums but wait till 4pm GMT time then you will see if the servers go down. I will be here to discuss weather i am right or not.

So?I have the same announcement you have (provided you are really in Beta), and in no word does it say that all versions will be of equal build. That's you making assumptions.again.

With all the hype this game is getting, I would have figured the numbers to be even more drastic to be honest. People are afraid of hype (and mostly for good reasons).

From London, same age and brand new account created from same day of ban.Plus he called me out by name.Im sure an IP check would match, nevertheless he still broke NDA, ensures that he is probably Ahiles, coupled with the bad spelling its a good fit.Again Im not going to get in NDA stuff unless authorized, Ive asked for clarification on what and cannot be said. Originally posted by MooonOriginally posted by DeadJesterHow can open and closed Beta be the Same. When the Lvl cap is 13 on open and 80 on closed. Also the file down loads are diffrent sizes.Dear Age of Conan Beta Tester,First of all, we wish to thank you for all your efforts in the General Beta.
Age of Conan would surely not have been the same game without you. As we now stand on the threshold of launching we are soon moving into an exciting new era for the game, and we hope you will continue to be there with us in the final weeks before launch! As of yesterday General Beta is now named Closed Beta.We will hold the Closed Beta NDA for everyone but journalists until launch, but you are allowed to openly communicate about your experiences up to level 13.
We still have many additions and improvements to the game prior to launch, as you will surely see by playing in the next couple of weeks. Even the early experience will improve greatly in the upcoming period, so we urge you to speak about it in public should you wish to.In addition there are many other changes which are now happening, and we kindly ask you to please aid us in the next period as well. This is what we plan to do, and where we need your help, so please read the following information carefully. Your preferred server might be down from tomorrow to Saturday:. On the 2nd of May 4 PM GMT, we will bring down all Closed Beta servers. Two hours later at 6pm, ClosedBeta-2, ClosedBeta-3 and ClosedBeta-4 will open for all new and old Closed Beta testers.
We would need all of you to log onto one of the three servers, and play as you normally would to help us stress our databases. 24 hours later, provided we get the results we need, we will bring down the three Closed Beta servers. As soon as possible we will bring back up ALL Closed Beta servers.
When all servers are up you are free to play on your preferred serverWhile all of this is happening we will also bring all the Tech Beta testers into Closed Beta. We really wanted to show our appreciation for their time and dedication during the Tech tests, and this means you will soon be joined by thousands of new testers.
It should be a lot of fun, with fresh new blood joining your ranks!There was a lot of information today, but as you understand a lot is happening right now. We hope you will continue to enjoy the Closed Beta until launch, and that you will welcome all new testers in true Hyborian fashionIts the same build no matter how you try and sum it up.I see closed beta servers going down and then coming back up, and tech testers being allowed in to closed beta to play on those closed beta servers with the closed beta players. Now show me where you see open beta servers OR open beta testers mentioned ANYWHERE in that e-mail.Nice of you to prove yourself wrong instead of me doing it for you.

The real beta client right now, up to 13 at least (not allowed to talk about other stuff due to NDA), is in excellent shape, and a ton of fun.Too bad, I'll base part of my decision about buying on this Open beta. And a lot of people will.I dont see too much sense on showing to the public a half finished product If you have a complete one ready.
There are only 2 options, they really dont have a better client (baaaad) or, the game is sooo awesome it will wipe all the bad press and ugly rumors when it goes live. (gooooood)I hope is the second. Since you are new to MMOs and Late betas, here is some info I posted in another thread1-From there, I asked Tharaldsen if there was any financial incentive at all in distributing the beta through Fileplanet and while, as stated above, he told us that the Conan beta was a needed expense to get feedback on the game, he did outline the benefits to choosing Fileplanet beyond their reliable download speed and prior relationship:“We are just a few weeks away from launch, and when moving into the final push beta stage it’s important for any MMO to ensure a final push attention as well. In my experience most all MMOs these days use the last few weeks for a more marketing orientated beta process, and Fileplanet seems to be the gaming site in that regards.' 2 In the past the beta system - in which thousands of gamers are given the opportunity to test games before release - has been seen as an act of goodwill between developers and the pre-release fanbase of their games. As these are the players most likely to spread an MMOs virtues via word of mouth, open beta testing has always given developers the sort of grassroots hype that no amount of marketing cash can buy3 'We burned out some quantity of our beta-testers when the game wasn't yet fun. As we've begun to sell the game, the people who hadn't participated in the beta became our fast early-adopters.
And the people who did participate in the beta, we've had to go back to and say 'look, look, we promise: we know it wasn't fun two months ago, but we fixed all that. Skype freetalk usb camera driver download preactivated version. Really, come try it again.' We've had to go out and develop free programs to invite those people back for free before they go buy it. So the beta process, which we used to think of as a QA process, is really a marketing process.' Richard GarriottGet it?
Knight Online has made the first version of the Open-Beta Client available for download from the Official Game Site.The Scheduled Open Beta Phase is to begin on the 27th of February 2004.For those fortunate enough to have been involved in the Closed Beta Phase, it is required you uninstall any previous versions of the Game Client before installing the Open Beta Game Client.Credit goes to mmorpg.com member cedori for this article.'

Originally posted by GordonJIf people are still having fun with the download then there's a mirror atBittorrent and direct downloadAwsome I hope bittorrent doesnt currupt it, I will try both and if bittorrent works I will seed it for a day or 2.I talked to them about it on the forums and emailed them as well 'the knight online people that is' and they submitted to fileplanet yesterday, and are working with gamespot and another site as well we should see those mirrors up soon.I am not sure if its cus I told them to contact fileplanet etc, or if they actualy thought of it themselves lol. Actually there are 2 choices you have at that site, torrent or web browers download, either work just fine. Took 17 mins to dl by web browser. E-games server was too overload I guess lol, on a side note, once downloaded and installed if you try to log in you'll get the no connection to the internet.
Don't worry, they have not opened the server yet is all.12pm Malaysia time is estimated for the opening of the server, plus there will be an additional patch prior to opening.Have fun in open beta.P-4 3.0, 120 HD SATA, Geforce FX5600/256, 2gig Dual DDR 400 (PC3200), WinXP-Home, SBLive, CD/DVD, Gigabyte 1000 Pro board w/FSB 800, AGP 8X, 2004 GT Edition, Intel 865PE chipset, DX-9.0b and cable ISP 2mb.
