This week's Friday Update is live and entitled "Answers from Kalanthes #1". Featuring questions submitted by fans, Kalanthes takes on thirteen of them. Here's one to whet your appetite:

What does the AoC team look for in a beta tester?

Lots of different things, actually. Sometimes, it's about the hardware they have (like we need to test high-end machines, low-end machines, laptops, whatever). Sometimes, it's location-based (like we need more North Americans to test servers there or something like that). Sometimes, we pull from the forum "veterans," as we call them, and selection criteria there can basically be described as "Has this person been around for a while? Are they a good poster that would give us useful feedback?" rather than simply relying on their registration date or postcount. Above all, we look for a good attitude and someone who seems like they can deal with the fact that it is beta and not a free trial of the game, rather than someone looking to play for free or demanding a key for various reasons.
