Just wondering if the dev could let us in on some behind the scenes data.
How many people "win" the beta lottery? or how many are you looking to have access to the beta server?
How many players do you like to see playing on the server at a time?
Are you collecting data on total player hours per day, per zone and such?
Do send additional invites if the hours are as high as you would like them to be?
If a player gets accepted and never logs in do you remove them and add another?
Is the ammount of players ramped up as the beta continues?
I understand invites continue to be sent out in batches, does this happen all through beta or just a week or two after opening it up?
Even ball park figures would be nice, I think some of the background data is cool, yes I am kinda a Geek LOL.
If this is confidential info I understand but if you can answer any of them it would be nice.
we typically do 1000 at a time, but have done more and less.
a few hundred
nope, not really needed unless we can;t get the help we need to beta test. We keep an eye on it, but do not track it.
yes. I Do not have the interval we do this at though.
nope. they just languish
yes
I do not have this time table.
This beta does. Often it is late. Itemization is one of the hardest things to do, and takes the longest.
