    Have you ever been a beta-tester, for a game?

    ...and no, I'm not talking about some free game, that's always a beta and can be downloaded by anyone anyway... (or beta's you have downloaded some way or another )

    I'm talking about the more expensive games, like RoN or something... have you ever been an official beta-tester for a such game?

    I have only been a beta-tester once... that was Battle Isle 4, but I never got it working anyway, so there wasn't much to test...

    Yes, several times...

    Seriously, only some betagames where there was no need to sign up for it....but you still had to pay for the full version so....
    And ever after, sun shone upon the land of Sunshinia...

      Mostly back in the pre-Internet days. These days, only if the game REALLY interests me.

            closest thing to beta testing for me was playing an online mud in beta-testing mode I did help uncover a lot of bugs in the game code though

                I won a RoN beta CD, but it won't load on my crappy PC.

                    Nope, no real aspiration either.

                          You can easily get hold of the installer for the beta...........what is harder to get is a cd key to enable you to play on Blizzard's beta server.

                            I have never done any beta testing. However I don't miss any either as beta versions are buggy and you can't play them as you wish, because you need to file some beta testing report. I sure enjoy playing the release distro more.
