    Testers - a no BS answer

    Well, I have been a long time follower of this game. The Dev time is killing me.....

    I want to ask the Testers here a few Questions..A straight up answer would be nice..

    1) How many Players are actually on the servers on the weekends ? and how many can the server hold ?
    2) based on the pace of the Game DEV how long would you guess until BETA ? 6 months, 1 year , 2 years ?

    Gee, for $60. +/- USD, you can contribute and get access and answer your own questions.

    And it will take as long as it needs to advance beyond tech alpha. There has been no delineation of a schedule.

    1.) Gets to around 64 players on weekends when events happen (which is every weekend.) Also, during the week and when events aren't happening you have drills happening as well as sometimes people just randomly pour into the servers.
    2.) And nobody knows, I'd say a couple of months at the minimum.

    You're wondering if its worth the money to get into the alpha, at least that's what Im getting from your questions. All of us would love to have you, the alpha does not look or feel like an alpha. It is very much a functional game its just missing some of the features that require more time from the developers. I would very much so spend the $60 all over again (lol already spent it once)

    I Skirm Daily and would estimate 20 to 30 on the weekday evenings and 30 to 60 on the weekends.

    Even when there are not that many people on the servers, if you have a love for history like the majority of the people here, you'll enjoy playing around at the drill camps with the range, seeing the different weapons, uniforms etc. I've gone for a walk to explore the drill camp map on more than one occasion, even just chilled by the campfire and chewed the fat with other players.

    1. 30 or so when an event is planned or if people wanna play. and the servers at the current time can hold up to 64 people, it's possible they will be able to hold more in the future, however I will not say for sure.
    2. so Skirmishes or Phase 1 Alpha has just been released, it took about a year for it too come out after teh drill camp was released to Colonels and above, from what I see there are still some minor crashing issues, being solved of course, and some small bugs that are being tweaked. an Educated guess would be a year for the Beta to release, maybe more, maybe less as there isn't a real pace to the game development, it kinda is just getting done whenever whoever can work on it, small team so it'll take time. thats for Closed Beta, Open Beta maybe another six months added on or so.
