Testers needed. Paid job.

[ZowN]

Greetings OTLand.

We are currently in need of Testers for our OT, which hopefully is soon to be released.


Our game is at heart a RL Map with RL mechanics from the 7.x era. However we've made a great deal of tweaks to how the game plays and splashes of custom areas on the map. A bold renovation to Tibia. The game is designed and oriented for Team-play; although solo-play is doable we believe it will be easier as a team.


What we need from Testers:

• Willingness to play. We need people who will play a minimum of 12 hours (a goal of level 20-30) across say 1-2 weeks. Otherwise the game-design we want tested will not be fulfilled.
• Willingness to play with others. Although not wholly necessary-- as the game was designed for team-play we encourage those who want to test to be at least predisposed towards playing with other testers or even inviting your own friends to play with them. The game will not be properly tested if everyone runs solo.
• Feedback on game design. There were many changes made across most of Tibia's systems.
  • We're mainly looking for how players feel about exp gain and profitability; too hard or too easy. We want it just right. But while doing that we believe you'll test the other systems of the game.
• Lag. We want to see how laggy or unlaggy our server is. As of right now it's been smooth with one instance of freeze lags that lasted for about 30 seconds across 6 days.
• Bugs. Obviously any type of bug or error we would like to be notified of, fix, and then address.
• Obviously any type of feedback on anything whatsoever we welcome. Criticism, suggestions, any and everything.

Host Location : USA, the game is however very playable in EU, when you get to high movement speed is when you notice the ping.
On release, depending on popularity we may host one in USA and one in EU.

Testing Plan: We're looking to accept up to 15 players. Which will hopefully average to two teams of three at anytime online. The server will be up and online indefinitely, so you'll be able to play whenever.
The Test will run these stages to properly test the different phases of the game.
<stage minlevel="1" maxlevel="7" multiplier="2"/>
<stage minlevel="8" maxlevel="20" multiplier="3"/>
<stage minlevel="21" maxlevel="35" multiplier="4"/>
<stage minlevel="36" maxlevel="50" multiplier="5"/>
<stage minlevel="51" maxlevel="80" multiplier="7"/>
<stage minlevel="81" maxlevel="100" multiplier="10"/>
<stage minlevel="101" maxlevel="200" multiplier="20"/>
Most of the time you'll be online there will be a GM online also.


Compensation: I'll preface this with we are confident the game will release in a reasonable amount of time. Also we take a hard stance against unfair advantage and corruption so we will be compensating only with things that will not give unfair advantage. Upon release testers compensation will be as follows:

• For every 10 levels gained a tester will receive one month of premium to their account upon release.
• Every tester who reaches level 60 will receive a decoration-item that WILL only be attainable if one was a tester.
• Every tester who reaches level 100 will be given a house of their choosing on the 8th Day after the Server is Released which is Day 1.

Application: If you're interested in being a tester please

• Start a Conversation or Direct Message me, ZowN, through OTLand.
  • Or if you want a more immediate response, message us on Discord:
• Message DuraAris#7391 ( Preferably message this one first )
• Message ZowN#9599 ( Else you can try this one, if previous doesn't respond )

You will then receive instructions how to make an account and character and be able to login. That's that.


Like any game, we desperately need testers and value
your time and energy a great deal and are grateful.
Thank you so much!

In light of the fact that there have not been enough testers to meet our needs we are offering the added compensation that at the end of the Alpha Test (running currently) the 2 highest level characters will receive 30$ each (If you do not reach level 45 you are ineligible.)

Questions:

1. When will the Test End? Most likely 15-20 days from now.
2. How will one be payed? PayPal. (We'll cover transaction fee)

Notes:

1. Again, the game is team-oriented. You will be probably have an advantage to progress quicker and reach a higher level if you work with others.
2. You're still eligible for our other compensations.

Disclosure:

1. We reserve the right to stop receiving applicants after a certain number of Testers. We're hovering around 15 Testers.
2. The highest level character, which is eligible, on the Test Server currently is level 7. This should not present an unfair advantage as this is achievable in less than an hour.

An Update.

In the past week though many have enjoyed our Test Server and we've benefitted from their feedback we still desire yet more testers and we'd therefore like to be more clear about a fine point. We want your testing experience to be whatever you want to make it. If you want to start from scratch and work your way up through the game that's great and we encourage that. But if you'd rather, from the start, or at any time want to accelerate your progress we're happy to facilitate that -- through levels, skills, runes, supplies, or anything else we can help with.

Note: You won't be eligible for any of our listed compensations if your character is boosted, but if you have any character that is not boosted or helped in any way by one of your boosted characters you are of course eligible.​

Also we'd like to notify people coming in late that the highest level eligible for the 30$ is still only Level 10. So if new players still wanna aim for that it's well within reach.

Note: We're dropping the level goal from 45 to 40 for eligibility for the 30$ compensation.​

Our Thanks,
as always all feedback is greatly appreciated
