well I can hope that they are looking for some older, more mature individuals to help out, otherwise.....I'm screwed.
Oh well, sent my in, will not worry over it since there are soooooo many applicants and there are very limited spaces (most likely). And the odds they pick a middle aged woman?

Good luck to everyone, hope for better returns than Nic gives out!

You know, I was thinking about this earlier, and I think apart from any number-crunching type players, they'd want a range of people from the entire population, to see how changes would affect everyone. So I think you probably have a good chance as anyone else =).

Aw they are suspicious of me being a robot lol
I couldnt read the first word at all, so I tried the help options. It made the security words to be replaced with a text so they werent visible at all, and I couldnt see an option to get a new word. So i hit submit without entering anything, ofc I got an error. But it also gave me new words that were easy enough to read hehe

I find it a bit odd that they ask for character name and age of that character.

I've moved between three accounts for various reasons, and no longer have my original Prophecies characters from release. My "main" is now probably only 8 months old, if that.

Then if I decide just to put account played time, I can't even really check that accurately due to my first account (which had about 3000 hours on it) getting stolen. I realize that is a somewhat unusual circumstance though.

Application submitted, but if my experience with beta application goes as before, the fact that I have no beta experience may well stop my application . We'll see, I'll be there if they need me .

We'll see what they are looking for, I've put mine in. I've been on a couple of betas before, including a couple for Micro$oft. I would imagine that a lot of people are going to be slightly disappointed when they don't hear anything back.

Just submitted my application. I must say, I have a good feeling about this.

I just hope my essay containing about 2,265 characters was overkill, though.

Not to suck up or anything, but somehow, I get the feeling Arkantos will go as far as being considering even if he doesn't make it in the end. Being admin of GWG and all, they're familiar with him. Just my predictions.

It sounds like fun, and I have a bunch of previous beta experience, but I won't have any time to do it! No point in applying

Well, even if I wasn't a guru admin, I'd have a good feeling about getting accepted. If they choose me, I hope they accept me because of my application, not because of my status on an elite fansite. Regardless, if they pick me, I won't care why they did.

Been nicer if they asked for account age rather than character age. Don't understand that, but application submitted anyways.

background checks on character's in-game achievements/history? i haven't been banned, so my criminal record is clean! but for reals though, what about those that play multiple characters or are constantly re-rolling pvp characters?

Is there somewhere that explains what being part of this test krewe entails? Like how much time it would require, what days, blocks of time, etc. The application is pretty vague regarding this information and I don't know if there's more listed about it somewhere else.

The vague information we have is the only information, sadly.

do you know many people who succeed without having a good feeling about it before ?

btw, I don't see what a mod status on guru has to do with your ability to be a good beta tester

or a way of authentication saying who you think your are, i suppose someone could submit a horrible application as someone else? haha then again this information could be found on their personal wiki page. Nah' i dont mean that ...

I hope criminal records if counted are looked into because i had a problem with a bank and got temporary banned for payment fraud then reset back the next day once i explained my situation.

Now I'm getting a little worried about that! My account is 49 months old, oldest character is 48 months old (tried out my first char and decided it was not the profession for me at first) and the only record I have on me was being banned due to someone trying to hijack my account. I got my account back and changed my pw while I was waiting for their response. I hope this doesn't go against me in their decision on accepting my application or not. If my experience will be overlooked due to the one ban I got recently, I will be sad but, either way, good luck to everyone who applied!

Think of it as GW2...we won't probably won't know anything until after it's released.

And I submitted...tried to keep my application short. :\

Doubt I'd get in either way though

good point. i can see someone being accepted as a member of the team, but due to lack of prior information are unable to fulfill the required responsibilities and end up leaving or simply not participating. it'll be a shame if this falls through due to bad application/selection processes. it is especially bad during this time due to the new school year starting soon.

Pssh, nvm. I just deleted 2 sentences and it went threw. Apparently, it was too long o.o

Yeah, I had the same problem when my answer to what can you bring to the live krewe was 3,000 characters.
