Oh, well that has been answered by the LDW staff before. Beta testing typically takes place someplace between 90 and 99%. Hope that helps. ;\)

We've never started a beta before the progress bar reaches 95%, but when it reaches 100% you can be pretty sure that it's in beta. \:D

Yes, and the game must be finished before it can be tested.

Well, close to finished, anyway. It's never a good idea to make large changes in betas, but sometimes suggestions made by beta testers can get included if the coding isn't too complex.

Emily, its when a group of selected users play the game and test for bugs and any problems with the game before it is available for purchase.

As I said in another thread, we have quite a waiting list already, and many people have been waiting almost 2 years for a chance to test a game. It's not likely that anyone who submits a beta test application now will be selected to test VV3, although everyone will be placed in the database for future consideration. \:\)
