There will be a player test of Vallatio in version eight coming soon. If you wish to be of the eight selected, enter the drawing with the enter drawing command inside the game. Please make sure that you will be able to be online on Friday, November 11th at 6:00P.M. central time.

The time zones, in the united states (most of the player's area) are, in order, 4 pm pacific, 5 pm mountain, 6 pm central, and 7 pm east coast. That should help give you a general idea as to when to be on, if you are not sure of what area you may fall under.

On Friday, right before the testing starts, so that way people will have plenty of time to enter.

When the 8 winners are selected, we will post their keys here in this thread.

Just for those who ask, this will be on a private server. You will not need to worry about leveling, new character making, or planning until Friday comes.

I'll say this once, and please do not ask on here or the game. The battle layout has changed drastically, and made it much more livelier. You guys just worry about what characters you will make, I will provide the levels, gold and trip. Also, I will be locking the 'hosting' once all 8 are in. Preferably, no quick remakes because someone else pick a class you have. So, better all start planning around what you think others will pick. That will help you guys learn to be more supportive of each other on mett's server.

On the same topic as Reap, just so you guys don't give out the test server's address, I am going to get a block on where only the Brotherhood and the 8 winners can enter it. Of course, in the future when we do testing, the address will be different then the one that is used for this drawing.

You guys just worry about what characters you will make, I will provide the levels, gold and trip. What about the drinks? We don't get any drinks? I WANT A FREE COKE! ...Nah, j/k. Preferably, no quick remakes because someone else pick a class you have. So, better all start planning around what you think others will pick. That will help you guys learn to be more supportive of each other on mett's server. I already know what I'm picking, and if someone else picks it too... Well, that just means we'll have 2 of 'em. Assuming I get drawn, anyway. If I don't... I'll just sigh heavily, go back to Dragon rending, and console myself that I'm making more EXP than the winners are.

I can do any of the 10 classes, so I'll just do whatever fits in with the rest .... if I get lucky (Picked)

I think it'd be more fun if the 8 winners just picked what class they'd REALLY like to play, and not one to just try spreading party effectiveness. I imagine the former would be a more normal party than a perfectly even and considered matchup with 8 different people at the same time.

Sarm's got it right. There's no need to be calling classes ahead of time. Everyone can pick whatever the hell they want. If everyone picks, say, Knights... Well, that just means Test Val's gonna get Slashed to shit. Who cares about balance?

The eight should do a Challange party, lol

Post by U. Dye on Nov 8, 2005 16:30:58 GMT -6
That would be the first challenge party to ever succeed in geting through Val... or so I've heard, anyway. Well, more like so I haven't heard. Can't say I've heard of one ever reaching DM.

I just have one question... Can you ensure that all multikeys are taken out of the drawing? It would be unfair for a person to have more of a chance to get into this player test than others...

Some people are able to put more than one key if they change their IP address. Although that is not something that we can exactly stop fully. But we are going to use IP addresses to allow players in, instead of the key, so it will not be as bad as a problem.

Post by Kyou on Nov 10, 2005 17:05:21 GMT -6
The only way to "Multi-key" in the drawing is to have a different IP each time you entered, and since the test server will only be open to those IP that are registered on the list, if you don't have the IP, you don't get in.
Maybe Kija or Mahn can explain it better .... meh.

Wait...the same EXACT ip? Uhh...>_> Dial-up IPs change slightly with every new connection...they seldom are the same, if ever...
Feh, intarweb...

Post by Mahn on Nov 10, 2005 22:00:20 GMT -6
We will announce about 5-10 minutes before we choose the 8 random players. All those that have dial-up and such, can enter then so they have same IP. If not, shit out of luck.

Slick, I have DSL, and my IP changes daily

Post by thor on Nov 11, 2005 16:05:03 GMT -6
Does that mean that if a person with dial up previously entered, and is selected, because of IP change, will not be able to actually be IN the party?

Post by Kija on Nov 11, 2005 16:22:59 GMT -6
A few minutes before the drawing, we will annouce it to give anyone time to reenter the contest so that the IP address will be the correct one.
