Does anyone know if the website revamp means we have to take the initiation test again?

@paterah No you don't and if you were an early test taker there is a really strong chnace you will see a beta invite in the next few weeks.

I have been following the game since inception, and I have to say this is a labor of love for Funcom, so much more so than AoC was. I also think FC has learned a great deal about Community management, in talking with the reps at Pax east TSW will have much better in game and forum moderation than it's counterpart.

I sincerely hope so. I am a launch day AoC player and still currently playing. If i didn't know any better, I would swear FC is intentionally trying to sink AoC.

The updates, patches and subsequent feedback has been going downhill for a long time. It was much worse at the beginning, but there has not been any ardent strides to fix/balance the game. It has been a series of workarounds and patches that lead to more issues.

I hope the TSW devs and community managers do an even 50% better job than what has been given on the AoC side.

And this is coming from an avid AoC fanboy. :(

Where did you hear about the beta? I hope its not just a rumor.
I did the initiation test in 09... Although, i don't remember if i registered an account or anything, the email with the results is in my inbox but how would they know im still interested?

@Dunraven Good to know, although i suspect they will go after AoC and AO players firstly.

"A really strong chance"? Not likely.


We won't be seeing any beta keys going out in the coming MONTHS. Let alone in the coming weeks.

They evidently need an editor who knows the difference between affect and effect. It's hard to take games seriously when the grammar and/or spelling is bad.

@Poppaeia Is that your only complaint? Do you know how many spelling and grammatical errors I catch in Blizzard games and even their book fiction? It’s an issue of the entertainment industry period…not just Funcom

@(Unverified) Hey, it just jumped out at me. That kind of thing bothers me. *shrug*

WoW is terrible in this regard. I have to avert my eyes in charity all the time. What can you do except whine to fellow gamers. :D

Have there been many newsletters? I did the test a year ago and have only received one since, which was only a few days ago.

Nvm. Reading incomprehension ftw.

Interesting concept, but after the twin failures of Anarchy Onlines Launch and Age of Conan gameplay, it's pretty hard to trust Funcom a third time.

Pretty sure I won't be the only one either.
