Funcom Producer Tommy Strand has posted up a message where he describes what's going on at Funcom (sounds like lots of caffeine consumption) and also what we can expect for the last two days of AO Beta. The brief is: p-wipe, followed by 11.4 download, followed by buffing to lvl 75 with tons of credits, followed by all-out death match (which Clans will, of course, win). We have now stopped to count the time to release in days and have gone over to hours even though there are still two days left. In the works for making the launch day as painless as possible we want to make a general rehearsal with the introduction of new 11.4 patch also know as the launch patch. A total character wipe has been performed to simulate that a fresh start, as we will have on the 27th. The rehearsal will then escalate into a beta event where all characters are upped to level 75 with millions of credits. All characters created before Tuesday 26th at 12 noon (EST) will be upped. All those not with buffed characters at that time, will be unable to participate in the event. I would like to thank everyone for a wonderful beta period. Some of you have been with us since the start and have bearded with us through thick and thin. We could not have done this without you. We have learned a lot during this beta, knowledge that will help Funcom to run even better beta tests in the future. With only 2 days to launch I know that many of you already have your retail box and that many of you are going to be taking advantage of the online offer. Wish us luck and bear with us when we launch the first ever Science fiction MMORPG on June 27th. - Tommy Strand Producer and Lead Designer
