TWL SERVER CLOSED BETA TEST
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2023 5:41 pm
Testing the server updates last night actually went well. Ive done these beta tests a dozen times through the years and Ive seen much worse. the fact the server boots up is always a good start. But unfortunately most players seemed uninterested in the server or helping identify any issues and just wanted to play or complain. In the past there was never a shortage of willing clan members and visitors eager to help.
So for that reason I have no choice really but to lock the server and continue beta testing the update and fixing the issues on my own or with willing volunteers. its best to watch the server in action but its good to have at least one other player to help initiated game script, set bombs etc. This of course is disappointing and will take much longer than an open beta but that's how it goes.
I'm reminded of a very popular game back in the Day. When it was first beta released people were happy to help test it. things did not go well at first, but most understood that's how these things go. The problem was they forgot to include any function that would connect players online. so the entire multiplayer platform was not functional at all. They released a 1.1 patch and the rest is history.
That game was Allied Assault
Those interested in helping just let me know i will send you the password.
