Anyone else get an invite out of the blue?


Dear EverQuest II Beta Candidate,

We are pleased to offer you an invitation into the beta test phase for both EverQuest II PvP and the EverQuest II: Kingdom of Sky expansion. Thank you for joining the effort to help us build a stronger, more enjoyable game.

Please read this entire e-mail carefully. It will provide all the information you need to install the beta client.


** How to get into beta **

In order to access the Kingdom of Sky and PvP beta servers, you will need to get the appropriate files. You may download the Beta LaunchPad from the following web address:

http://download.station.sony.com/patch/download/eq2/BetaEQ2.zip

To get to the web address:

1) Enter the web address into your web browser. Downloading should begin immediately.

2) Save the file to your computer. It is called BetaEQ2.zip.

Note: We suggest that you create a copy of your existing EverQuest II directory and name it EQ2Beta. This will allow you to keep your Beta and Live files separated from one another.

3) Unzip the file into your EQ2Beta directory.
4) Create a shortcut of your BetaEQ2.exe file and place it onto your desktop.
5) Double-click the shortcut to sign in.

After you've signed in, you will be asked to Subscribe and enter in your beta key. Click the "Enter Registration Key" button and enter the key that is found below:

Once you have patched the files you need, log into EverQuest II to begin. Please make sure to run the BetaEQ2 shortcut each time you plan on logging into the beta server.


** Character Copies **

For us to copy your favorite EverQuest II character to the beta server, please indicate which character you want us to copy by logging into your play server as your favorite character. You indicate that you want us to copy an individual character by typing the command /beta in your chat window. Periodically we will run scripts that will copy characters to the beta server. Please monitor the Beta message boards for when the character copies will occur.


** Beta Feedback **

As part of your participation in our beta program, we rely on you to report bugs and give us feedback on the things you like or dislike about the game. The place for discussing these issues and receiving feedback from our developers is the beta section of our official forums: http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2?category.id=kos

Additionally, there are two in-game commands for sending us information about your experiences during the beta. /bug should be used to report bugs. Bugs are gameplay features that do not work, spelling errors, and anything that just does not work as intended. Please give us as much detail about the bug as you can think of when reporting it.

/feedback should be used to send in comments about parts of the game that work properly, but that you would like to see changed. If you discover an item that you think should have less WIS and more INT, then use /feedback. If you think a certain encounter is too easy or too hard, use /feedback to report it. You can also use this command to make general suggestions on how to improve the game.

It is important that you distinguish between these two options, as one is read primarily by our testing team and the other is read mostly by our game designers. Sending a bug through /feedback can delay our ability to fix it, since we'll have to route that to our testers for verification.

Once again, thank you for your time and effort. It is very much appreciated.


Sincerely,

The EverQuest II Team
