It is live now. You can apply here :http://www.guildwars.com/community/test_krewe/

It does not really work for me yet, it says "Could not open soket". (What does this mean? :P)

Admin Edit: Just a note, the page is not currently up and working yet. Anet is aware of the problem and they are working on it.

Welcome news. While I won't be joining (not enough gaming knowledge to take up a space), everyone should apply. The ultimate input opportunity now exists.

They want to employ me at $15/hour with *benefits*, then I might consider it. Really, their employees should be able to play/debug.

Only $15/hr? Sure are setting your standards pretty low. Me I wouldn't do it for anything less than $22/hr with full benefits and profit sharing plus 401k.

I was expecting a bit more details on exactly what the Test Krewe is supposed to do. Are they just supposed to test changes that have already been decided upon and simply help discover any bugs, or would they also be able to give feedback regarding those changes? How much time does Anet want them to invest into testing? I find it odd that people are already expected to sign up when we don't know any of those details.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to decide what to write about in the "What Can You Bring to the Test Krewe" box.

Also, seems like the page is down now.

Seems that the content was taken down for now. Both Opera and IE (it was just a test, don't freak out) give the "Requested page could not be found." message.

I wish I had time for this, but too busy to maintain a standard testing schedule.

Good luck to those applying

This is what happens when you let 2 foot tall weird things work on a website.

Anyways, yeah. I think it would be good if you guys could explain a little more as to what the live test krewe actually is, and what players are going to be doing in it. With the vague information we have, it's kind of hard to answer the what can you bring to the LTK question...

I probably missed this by only a few minutes...I hope it comes back up soon. Does anyone have the page details? I'd like to know what the page said so I don't have to wait for them to fix it. I'm very curious of the details of the program. Anyone still have the page up and can copy and paste the contents of it here (or in a PM)?

The questions were:

* Name
* E-Mail
* Address
* Age
* Language Spoken
* Character Name
* Character Age
* Favorite Playstyles
* Beta Experience
* What can you bring to the Guild Wars Live Test Krewe

This is what we posted about it:

Quote:

* Introducing a Guild Wars Live Test Krewe to help test upcoming updates and skill changes. We’re opening up the testing process to players, and if you are selected you will be able to access our test server and directly interact with our developers! We’ll put up an application form on our website once we finalize all the details. Two things in advance: due to legal reasons, you need to be at least 18 if you want to apply, and you need to speak and write English fluently.

Test Krewe Members will give input and feedback on content and balance changes. Any further specifics will depend heavily on what the priorities are in a given time period, so I'm unable to answer that question. Those details will be communicated to successful applicants who have submitted a signed NDA.

Our Asuran engineers have informed us that they're going to start working some of their special magic on the application form. We're taking it down while they go do that, and we'll have it up for you as soon as we can.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience.

Wonder if your character age is a factor in determining if you are selected for the krewe. My oldest character is 49 months old, but it's on an old account and never sees the light of day. Sounds like something I would be very interested in, if anything it's something to do.

So, what, you can get paid for this? Do you have to move or something?

Cause if you dont have to move...and you get paid to actually fix skills...from your home...thats pretty much the best gig ever.

Hell, screw benefits, i'd do this for $10/hr, lol

The page dosen't even Exist for me. Though this dosen't seem like a browser problem... im using Firefox 3.

http://i30.tinypic.com/ief0vo.jpg

I would love to apply though.

EDIT: NVM back up now.

EDIT 2: I hit send and it failed, saying it didn't like my application. I am over 19. I tried to resubmit by hitting the back button but my application was cleared out. I will not be applying for this now.
