WEDNESDAY, 30TH OF NOVEMBER 2005 :: CORWYNN MAELSTROM TCoS Beta is LIVE   As of today, November 30th, we have gone LIVE with the TCoS Beta servers. The first (of many) round of invites has been sent, and a small number of applicants are now able to join in the testing process. Included are friends and family member of the TCoS staff, as well as some contest winners and community members. Individuals in the Asia-Pac region have not been added to this round, as we wanted to make sure we had a reasonable representation of EU/NA testers. The first Asia-Pac invites will go out in the next round, expected soon. The participants will be testing a small portion of TCoS, and as the pool of testers expands, the range of the tests will grow. Over time there will be many more testers included and the game will open up more and more. Ths gradual approach will allow us to build up experience within the pool of users as well as to target very specific aspects of the game. We want to thank ALL of you who have applied. We appreciate your desire to help in the testing of our "baby", and hope that you will contribute to making TCoS an excellent game as we continue development towards release.

TUESDAY, 29TH OF NOVEMBER 2005 :: CORWYNN MAELSTROM The road to Beta (Part 8 final)   The road to Beta is at an end. On the 30th of November, 2005 we will be sending out the first batch of Beta invitations. It's been a long hard road for the Development team, as well as for those of you who have been patiently following this process. Our closing screenshot of the road to Beta series is of Shana, once again fighting with the Arionites. She's managed to defeat one of them, and we can bet that her attention will be focused on the others soon. The last bit of concept art for the series has been posted as well. Read through the discussion and take a look at past articles. Some good pieces of information can be found within! 30 November is a big day! We'll announce when the Beta officially opens, so don't worry about missing an invite because we don't mention it. Check back here on the main page for a news article!    Comments

MONDAY, 28TH OF NOVEMBER 2005 :: CORWYNN MAELSTROM The road to Beta (Part 7)   Here we meet Shana, who happens to be very busy fending off a few of the Enclave's enemies. These Arionites are dangerous to say the least, but Shana is not unskilled herself. One thing is for sure: it's going to be a tough fight all around! Yet again we've brought you some more concept art today. Stop by the forums to discuss it, as well as share your thoughts on the new screenshot. A strange buzz fills the air, becoming almost tangible . . . something is coming . . . very soon.    Comments

SUNDAY, 27TH OF NOVEMBER 2005 :: CORWYNN MAELSTROM The road to Beta (part 6)   Having met Moirna yesterday, we're going to give you another look at her. She's very concerned with remaining flexible, as you can see. We've caught her during her daily warm-up routine, lucky us! The day wouldn't be complete without some new concept art. This time we show you something familiar yet strange at the same time. Please take the time to share your thoughts on this artwork as well as Moirna in the forums. Tomorrow we'll meet another new face, and see some of the enemies of the Enclave in action, so be sure to come back . . . you can almost smell the Beta in the air . . .    Comments
