Good news - we have a beta that is currently being tested for release to the team and barring any problems will start off the beta testing. Those of you that signed up and were accepted to the team should be hearing more either today or tomorrow.

Regards,

- Erik

Erik,

Are you still in the market for beta testers?

At this point, we have enough for the current beta team. However, if you want to send in your info we'll put you on the waiting list.

Beta testing has started and we'll fill in any additional applicants as tester attrition takes its normal course.

Regards,

- Erik

For those who fancy the odds : average beta tester attrition is about 20% per month as reported recently by someone from Matrix Games (might even have been you)

Personally I'd recommend it as an experience you're not likely to forget and you'll soon find out if you've got what it takes (time, stubborness, pinch of crazyness, ...)

Greetz,

How is the beta testing coming along? I faxed in my completed NDA form and also a couple e-mails to follow up on it but so far, nothing from Matrix. I know that you folks are busy but if this is how you respond when you ask for help, then I fear to find out what your customer service might be like when a customer has a problem. I mean, in reading through the forum for about two years, I se how tight lipped this company is. Well, I am still willing to help out but I do have limits

borisbadenov,

The beta testing is underway and all testers have been added. When did you fax in your form and send your follow-up e-mails? The beta test coordinator is out today, so if you faxed and e-mailed over the weekend, you won't get a reply until tomorrow.

Regards,

- Erik
