    Half the people on this post are now Private Testers. Assuming that's for the current round, should I be concerned?

    They havent disclosed who the testers are, but I would say it's safe to assume that the testers have already been chosen. I dont think they will disclose who are the testers to keep as much info from being leaked from the test server.

    Eliya was referring to the fact that some people in this thread, such as myself, have the title "Private Tester" under their avatar. Nexon has elected to make the testers known to the public in this manner. You're right that they haven't posted a list of everyone who was accepted.
    Arwoo did promise that once all emails are out, there will be a notice on the website saying so. Since that notice hasn't materialized yet, I'm assuming the recruitment process is still ongoing.

    I see, congrats by the way. I wouldnt think they need more than a handful of people to test things out.

    It does seem to be a random process. Unless they really do look into your account and then choose.

    If you're using gmail, did you check your "social" and "promotions" folders? Mine showed up in "promotions". I don't usually check those folders, so I almost missed it lol.

    Yeah but Im guessing they want a mixture of both. Cause it isnt just to test for bugs.

    It's the same just that you play unreleased content, look for bugs in events and skills etc. and your character is given equips. You can find people playing test server on youtube. The most recent one is a test server that was before lucid was released.

    the same stuff you can do in the reg servers minus the CS related stuff, only extra benefits are probably a lvl up NPC and are probably given certain items to test out aside from the obvious testing new content before it touches the reg servers

    Play out new content before others, as has been said before...and looking for possible bugs so that they don't go to the live server...

    You have to be part of the test server to see/view that section, I would say theyre no longer recruiting, theyre already doing the testing.

    I did get an official MS email with a code that i needed to activate in the nexon launcher so im geussing im part of the testers this upcomming round. But my main account is in the Luna server and i only have a lvl 46 character in Broa. The link sends me back to just the main forum section so im geussing nothing is being put online just yet.
