No, you need to start now if you want any chance of an active server, its not about getting them to come and join the server, its about getting the word out that a server will be coming out soon, even if there is no date, those turks will still talk to their friends and get their teams together for whenever it comes out.
To get testers...? Got a better idea? perhaps going outside and shouting about it would be better in your opinion?
Alpha testing and beta testing are there so there are no bugs at official. Really, you manage to sound very dumb in every single letter of your small post, that alone should be an achievement.
I can see ur far up this servers arse its embarrassing. ur server owner has just claimed in his post not to be looking for members but has posted this on this forum to do just that. which is my point. If ur denying that ur dumb.
alpha and beta both has the same meaning with the same purpose, to fix bugs in this case this server has too much of them even for a 'alpha'
The purpose of alpha was to more thoroughly test the game features, correct things like damages, and generally get feedback on things. Bugs are to be expected, we're sifting through them daily -- as for activity, well, it's not many people's idea of fun to jump in with the express purpose of discovering bugs.
Beta, on the other hand, will be functionally complete (and should be expected to not have any serious bugs left), so it should be playable as with official. It's too early for that though.
Right, I do agree in general; the sooner the better, but the main reasoning behind delaying it at least until after alpha, as I said before though, was because PSKO's evidently fairly new to the concept of an 'alpha' stage, so it's easy to be confused by what this testing stage is actually all about (as above, with g0nn4b3). Majority of private servers only need a beta stage, as it's functionally complete from the get-go (i.e. using official files).
As such, we feel like exposing it more at this stage would only lead people to the alpha, where they'd jump in, find it's not quite complete yet & it really isn't 'active' in-game, consider it not worth their time and consequently forget all about it.
Well, that's what we figured anyway. >_<
Key word here is players vs testers. We're looking for people who will actually test (i.e. testers), not people who want to just play the game.
If you take a look at the issue tracker, there really isn't even anything all that serious at this stage. That stuff gets addressed quickly, which leaves stuff like mob stats/skills.
Our main focus was correcting damages, which we've done.
Now we can keep on verifying skills (which seem fine, just some Porutu passives aren't implemented yet), events (which so far have been exceptionally good, it's really just Juraid mobs need to have their stats setup properly etc), and the like.
I personally think it's going really well...
USKO current server version with all working events, quests, effects and skills but tweaked to work like a 15xx version (no krowaz, no dumb cooldowns on minor healing and archer skills, no duration pots, no better pots then the default ones, etc = perfect server. That would be something to see!!
What in the world are you talking about.
Alpha releases are always the most buggy, the most unfinished release. Look at other games that release alpha (day Z for example.) Extremely unfinished/buggy. My personal opinion massively advertising a server to other forums is a very bad idea right now. First impressions are always what matters the most and you will need the best impression to get the turkish/peruvian community.
I'm pretty sure by the time they build the beta release they'll let that run for a month or 2 to gain population/build hype.
Anywho, doubt they plan on releasing this thing until late Spring/near Summer, thats just my guess anyway.
well there was a server called westerenko it had like 250 people and it was mostly english if we can get 200 active english players and turks too its perfect in my opinion :P still better than USKO population xD
I want this after reading this. Three more days my precious.
