Beta Testers for VIP pass system

[wihadmin]

We are working on a "VIP pass" system. The way this system will work is that if you are a VIP and are trying to connect to a full server, the server will disconnect/redirect a non-VIP to make room for you. In addition, the VIP pass holders are exempt from being disconnected when another VIP pass holder is trying to join. We are looking for 3 beta testers for this system to help us test for 1 or 2 weeks. In return, we will reward you with a VIP pass for 1 free month, if and when the system goes live.

Please reply to this thread if you like to sign up. We realize that there are many of you so we'll have to pick the beta testers based on the amount of time they've spent playing on the servers as recorded by PsychoStats.

Sign up starts now and will end at 8am CST Tue 2/8/05.

Thank you for your help.

i'd be interested in being a guinea pig for you guys!

[wihadmin]

Ps. All that is really involved is you note down the times you're trying to join and the server is full and how long in (seconds or minutes) you had to wait before it connects you. And when you're playing, if you ever get auto-redirect to the FF server.

That's it. It should be a no brainer.

A VIP system could work, but i have a few questions.
How will someone get to be a VIP?
Is it something that we will buy, or is it based on being a regular on War is Hell?
I would like to know more for sure. I like the idea, could be a great thing if done well. Good luck getting a VIP system up and running.

At this time, we are not able to discuss those details. We are focusing on the technical implementation of the system right now.

I understand, thanks for your time.
Again, i hope it all goes well.

Here's what we need you to do. When the server is full at 32 or 33 in the evening,

1. Disconnect if you're playing, wait for the server to get full 32 or 33. Then try to connect and note how long it took to connect. Only count the duration that you're waiting to connect and when it connects, not when you actually got into the map.

2. If you ever get disconnected from server involuntarily. Note the map, date, time.

Thanks!

[wihadmin]

Forgot to say that this was all taken care of on the server side. So you do not have to do anything on the client side.

hey wihadmin

first of all thanks for letting me test! Secondly, do we need to report anything to you, and if so when and where?

-thanks, prowl

[dbodenheim]

I think we just pm him every day.

[wihadmin]

Yes. Just PM me or post here of your connect times and if you got disconnected in any way.

[APOC]

Well so far It has worked perfectly for me. Havent been disconnected and have joined the server with 32/33 in it at 8pm and 10pm and was connected instantly. And I like how the auto assign is off for the VIP I thought it was something enabled that wasnt but then was set straight by an admin saying it was part of the VIP package.

You can also go Spectator when you're afk.

[wihadmin]

Since the weekend evenings are typically very busy on the Public server, can you guys make sure you test out the VIP functionality for us?

Thanks!

[Prowler130]

You betcha :thumbsup:

[Prowler130]

things have kept me away from trying to join the publice server during primetime so far, but the team select option works great :D

i will be on quite a bit friday and saturday though, so plenty of time to test :thumbsup:

[Prowler130]

i tried getting on 7:07pm est when the server was at full capacity and for about a minute it said i could not logon, server fulll...but after that i was able to get in and select a team as usual :thumbsup:

[APOC]

Yah as long as the 33rd spot is open I get right in, have had to wait no longer then 2 minutes when the 33rd spot is full. (during prime time)

Thank you for testing out the VIP system. This concludes our evaluation of it. If and when we roll it out, we'll grant each of you beta testers a month of VIP access.

Thanks again!
