[drupal=119]ETQW Beta Bonanza: Comp Mod and 1.5 BETAs Rolling Your Way[/drupal]
Good news: There’s light at the end of the license tunnel! We’ve at last received the proper license files for both the Competition Mod and the 1.5 game update. With that in mind, we’re now prepping them for release and hope to get them out as soon as possible (for real!).
Since we want to make sure that both releases are as solid as can be, we’ve decided to run public beta phases for them - this will allow us to iron out any remaining stability issues and also make sure that the backend infrastructure is working properly. Both of these are the most difficult things to test for and since we’ve had a few issues crop up in 1.4 that didn’t surface during our testing, we feel that a public beta phase is in the best interest of the game and the players.
Read on for more information on the two upcoming Beta releases and for the preliminary 1.5 changelog.
