BETA testers needed for my (MM)ORPG

    A little about the project

    When I started learning PHP, MySQL, CSS and other web based programming languages I figured the best way to start to learn was to make a game. Thus, Kingdom Of Alrond (KoA) was born. I planned on making KoA a huge game, so I just wanted to start on a small part of the game to begin with so I've been working on the BETA version - Sheep Farmer - which will later evolve into one of the 'worlds' in KoA.

    What I need

    I'm looking for people to just play my game and report back any errors that they encounter, or something that just doesn't seem right. People who could advise on new features or changes that they'd like to be made.

    This may seem like an odd request, but if you ever felt the urge to, I'd like some people to try to hack or exploit the game and then let me know how they did it so I can patch it up.

    I don't mind people from other environments, but the game is currently being designed under these conditions and is only really expected to work on them. But I'd like to know if there are errors under any other circumstances.

    What I don't need

    Since this still is in BETA, please don't give feed back asking for more content or story base, I'll be working on that later on. Also, I don't want people asking for more images or a better layout - this is the least of my worries for the game at this stage.

    What's in it for you

    BETA testers will get a special type of account so they perminately get to keep a 'Paid account', so they receive the features that other users will have to pay for later in the game. I'm giving you guys paid features for two reasons: 1) so you can test them and 2) to say thanks for your help.

    You'll also be getting to see everything before anyone else in the world does!

    You can see a "changelog" of sorts here.

    To send feedback, please use the "contact us" link at the bottom of any KoA/SF page.

    Is this game a MMORG or a single player game? I really like economy based game. It looks interesting but is it really ready for beta?

    I think it will just be an ORPG, since I can't figure out how I could make it MMORPG with it being web based.

    It's basically a slash between some of Neopets' stuff and RuneScape's. But completely different at the same time.

    A lot of the features are ready to be used even though a lot still need to be added and building up the three skills (there will be more obviously) is pretty easy at the moment, but I still think it's good enough to be tested. BETA may be a strong word for it, but I think I'm a little past ALPHA.

    I bought carrot seeds before potatoes and now I don't have enough money to buy anything else. It might be a good idea to start players off with a few potatoes to prevent this.

    I am an mmorpg addict, so I will give it a check. Should we just login and check it out or what needs to be done?

    You should have gotten two potatoes with your start up pack, did you not?

    You can just register and start playing ^^;;
