Wanted: Beta Testers

[Merth]

I need beta testers for my 0.5.0-DR2 server. To become a tester, follow the tutorial at http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?t=9649 and join Merth's Florida Server. The server is only available Monday through Friday, 2am to 7pm (EST).

Guidelines
* Try as many actions/functions as you can - try to break something!
* Petition all bugs - bugs in the ooc/tell channels won't help
* Don't petition content bugs (ie, uber weapon missing or such-n-such mob is not spawned)
* Use #help to learn about commands available
* Only 10 people at a time are allowed onto the server
* This is not EQLive. Don't expect a flawless experience, both in server performance and in functionality.
* Items and spawns were quickly thrown together - a ton is missing, so there's no need to petition these issues.
* AA's are not functional on my server


Everyone is a GM on the server to allow you to fully test every feature. Since this is a beta, I have a low tolerance for poor behavior.

Hogie has promised to give a big sloppy kiss to the person who finds the most bugs.

I need feedbacks about the lag.
If you encounter any lag, please tell me :
- time (and time zone)
- ping / % of packet loss
- zone
- your hardware
- how many people in the zone
- how many people on the server

Thanks.

I'm posting this here, Since I can't even stay in game long enough to make a petition....

When trying to create a Vah Shir character, You find yourself spawned somewhere way up in the sky, promptly falling to your own death, unable to do anything to prevent it...

Upon relogging after death (since the client freezes) you again find yourself falling once again...

tahts a db problem with starting point (not a code problem)

I wouldn't mind helping you out Merth, give me a few days to get my computer running EQ again.

SIGNATURE TESTING, Don't Laugh!

Your signature test failed, and the colored text isn't helping.

[Lord Corellon]

I Know it's a DB problem and not a code problem....

But he said to report all problems... and it does more or less effectivly prevent someone from testing with that race....

I have received a huge item dump from Daeken that I believe has more items from EQLive than any other db prior to 0.5.0. I haven't validated any of the data, but if it's legit, I should have a fresh item database ready for the beta server tonight.

I wrote a makeshift item conversion function for 0.4.x blob to 0.5.5 field data. If you want it, PM me - but only PM me if you know c++. It's *that* crude.
