We want to announce that Issue 10 will be entering into closed beta testing today, June 13th. This means the Training Room Test Server will be closed to normal access while we conduct this phase of the beta test. Our experience with the closed beta testing of Issue 9 earlier this year showed that such a process pays big dividends in the end quality of the release version. We are driving toward similar results with Issue 10!
We know that this closed testing will impact those looking to use the Training Room for other activities. Whether to test out character respecs via the test character copy tool or people looking to meet for global PvP, we hope those affected can understand our reasons and support us while we work toward a fun and bug free Issue 10!
As to the exact timing of how long the Training Room will be in closed beta testing, I can only say that it will be multiple weeks. The actual timing will depend on how testing proceeds. Our aim is to conduct the closed testing as quickly as possible to deliver a robust version for everyone to check out in an open beta test. Everyone who wants to play Issue 10 and provide feedback before it goes live will have the chance to do that in the open beta test.
We are excited by everyones enthusiasm for Issue 10 and looking forward to bringing this next free expansion to you!
