Beta 2 is now closed and I want to thank everyone that took the time to report bugs and stated their opinions in different matters. This shard wouldn't be anything without your help
The next stage will be Beta 3, but with a big difference from Beta 1 and 2.
The plan is to first do a complete itemwipe and then transfer all characters from XUO and IN:R to IN:X. This means that Beta 3 will become the "real" shard where you will be able to login to your account you had on IN:R or XUO, and train skills. We won't do any more itemwipes and you will be able to play on the shard like you play on any other shard.
The reason it will still be Beta though is because there will most likely be bugs left even after we fix all the current bugs. When people start training, hunting, pvping etc they will notice bugs they didn't before. Also, we might balance different things like skillgain, loot drops, monster toughness etc. Everything for the better
I do not know when Beta 3 will come online. It will be a huge project moving all the items and chars as well as fixing all the bugs we have listed. Expect that it might take some time, but I don't want it to take as long as it did before we brought Beta 2 up. Patience is the key though
More info about Beta 3 will come before we bring it up. I know many will have forgotten their accountnames and/or passwords etc. This will be dealt with accordingly.
So in the meantime... uh.. spam the forums or something :p

Hmm, alright. I understand if you want to go ahead and open it to the public with saved characters and skills that won't be wiped, because people are getting impatient. Still, please make sure you have balanced loot groups and no economical exploits (i.e. fancy shirts, smith hammers, etc). I wouldn't want INX to have to deal with the same problems INR did when it opened too early.
Good work.

ye, taran and coldrake have to assign that to some staff (me for example) to try out, if everything not have been tested yet.

Rackull you spend more than 15 min per week reading and posting here don't you?
As for loot groups, maybe it would be good if somebody from IN and somebody from XUO worked on it together, since apparently neither got it right in opposite extremes. Or, the staff could solicit the help of some players they think would have time and do a good job.
