Regarding testers, that's another 10 added today, and we are now down to 25 remaining folks who have not yet gotten a key. So that is 102 testers added to the alpha so far.
I've gotten pretty much everyone who didn't specify a round, or who wanted an early round, in. For the most part, anyone who wanted round 3 has been absolutely left out so far, and most of the round 2 requests, too. Most of the round 1 folks are in.
There are still some particular people that are longtime community members that I want feedback from at a slightly later stage, so if you haven't been included yet, please don't be miffed -- you will be. Probably almost everybody will be added by the end of this weekend, I'd say. If there is anyone with scheduling stuff that means that really you're not useful unless you get it sooner than later, let me know and I will add you early.
Thanks to everyone who is taking time out to help us make the game better -- it has made a world of difference, both from those people who give their detailed first impressions as well as those who have been racking up dozens of hours scouring the game from an advanced point of view. Both sorts of information are highly valuable to us, so thanks to everyone.
And if we haven't heard from you... well, now would be the time, if you want to be heard prior to 1.0, heh.
We're just about exactly a week out now -- 4/18 is the day!
