This
Week’s Hot Feature
:




The Rigors of Beta Testing: The Past, Present and Future - Since the
earliest days of MMO gaming, beta testing has played a pivotal role in
the success or failure of our persistent worlds. We've come a long way
since the initial tests of href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/taxonomy/term/154"
target="_blank"> style="font-style: italic;">Ultima Online
and The
Realm
, but what role do our
current beta tests play in the potential outcomes of unreleased titles?
To answer this question, Ten Ton Hammer turned to current and former
beta decision makers at Cryptic Studios, NetDevil, Sony Online
Entertainment, Funcom, and Mythic Entertainment. Some of their answers
- and the information they reveal - will surprise and shock you.



On top of that selection, we also asked our Ten Ton Hammer premium
members for their thoughts on beta testing as well! As the first of our
Ten Ton Hammer Premium Articles, we've allowed our premium members to
take the first crack at reading this content, but everyone will be
granted access this coming Monday (April 20, 2009).
