Beta Testers Needed For Mmorpg

Recommended Posts

As a couple of you may be aware I have been designing my own browser-based PHP MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) over the past 12 months and it is reaching the stage where I could use some good beta testers to test out what has been made so far and to find all those niggling little errors I've missed in the code and also cross-browser layout, suggest improvements and additional features and many other things.The site is still a good few months from being completed at least which is why it would be best to start testing now instead of sifting through a completed set of scripts to amend any errors.The beta testers need to be diligant, checking every single available feature of the game no matter how insignificant. Also, those with a security exploit background would be very welcome. Experience in cheating or attmepting to cheat at other MMORPG's would help me a lot in improving my own security (and no names will ever be mentioned). Also be warned, constant changes to the database will be made during testing and may require you to re-register many times over. Don't get attached to the account you have either because at the release date all accounts will be reset.Once the game has been released all beta testers will receive 3-6 months premium membership and for those who prove extremely perceptive and highly motivated will be offered moderator positions with the opportunity to move up to admin status in the future.It's not quite ready for beta testing just yet and I will be writing a specialised error reporting script for the beta testers to use.If you are interested then just reply to this post and include any questions you may have then I will let you all know via pm when the site is ready for you.Thanks and regards,8ennett

Well the site is already up and running however I haven't uploaded the latest content for a while. Also development has currently stopped while I finish off a new project and try to find a job at the same time. Anyway you can sign up here http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ but there really isn't much to it yet, most of the stuff I have been working on is backend, the frontend is playable but you are still missing a hell of a lot of vital features. I'll upload the current files before the end of the day. You are bound to find bugs in some of the stuff made already like the combat system (needs a complete overhall) and I've changed some features which make the bank buggy as well. The live horse racing works fine, so does renting property and drug farming. Also the messaging system is now fully operational, inventory system and shops (however the only items currently available are just test items), animal training and house upgrades, airport, level up and mission system (only one mission is currently available though), and a few other things as well. Some of what you will be seing will be removed like the most wanted list, other stuff will be enhanced.

If you have any other major bugs to report then my user ID is 1 obviously and my name is deathmonger. Users 2, 3 and 4 are also my accounts used for debugging.

And the paypal system is up and running as well for site donations but I don't expect you to use that lol, if you want a resident card (premium status) then I'll just give you a couple for debugging purposes. Oh, and if you find yourself low on health and energy there is a link on the menu for refilling both.

Hey 8ennett. You got a big problem. The thing is gmail files your mails under spam because it has the word Drug in it. I recommend you contact gmail or do whatever you can to resolve this. Good luck!

GMails spam filter should stop doing that after enough people mark their mails as safe and not spam. There is a warning about that if you try to log in without validating your account and when you register as well.Not really a big problem for now, but will have it sorted by release time

Ah I didn't know that you could logon without validation. By the way I think you should change the Downtown system I didn't find it user-friendly. Maybe the game can start out with a quest chain that will teach the player the basics?

Yes, when it's finished and you first register there will be an initial setup wizard for configuring some required features, then the opening part of the first storyline will begin. The mission system is also designed to familiarise people with the game controls and areas.

Still haven't uploaded the latest files btw
