Wait... Your giving massive incentives to testers who already have the incentive of playing the game? Thats a sweet deal for the testers lol
Strangely the name and reference are the things I see as most valuable... They may not have any literal value, but their priceless and cannot be bought. I think its great that Reverie are offering this, although I'm not sure what they gain from it lol

yeah,
the beta gets started and i hope that i start at the 2th stage because if i get in the first i wont make it on school but if the open beta is for everyone i can try it

i hope it is as good as i expect that it is

Will you send out reports to people on what you're looking for from the beta testers? Or will it be anything the tester deems necessary?

Short answer - Both.

There may be times where we ask testers to focus on something in particular, but we'll welcome all feedback.

I think its great that Reverie are offering this [beta incentives], although I'm not sure what they gain from it lol

This gives people incentive to actually give us detailed good bug reports (harder to get than you'd think ).
Also, we have a 'strike team' to QA test our new patches (before release.. don't want buggy patches even in open beta.. and after release).
Lastly it will give us a pool of people to pick from who could possibly become our next game's QA testers.

If you ever get into game making or ask any developers you will realize how important it is for someone outside the team to have playtest your game. You have the usual response that the company is just letting people play the game...as a demo or taste of what they are buying.

I'm saying this from experience about people not playtesting my groups levels and games, to people playtesting them. You will see the big difference in quality.

This would be a great opportunity for me as I am getting around the end of school and any plus like that on my resume will be great. Which reminds me that I need to start planing whats going to be in my portfolio.

Now, will we post the aspects of the game we see that need improvement in the game here on the forums, or will there be some other form of sending in our comments/concerns?

Thanks
