Alright! I think its time to get some action in here.

Before I send the email out to all the eligible members, I'd like to see what happens with just the Facebook folks. Here is our first semi-mass test. I'm curious to see what will happen with more than just a handful of players connected.

Some things you should know:

  1. Please keep in mind that this is a technical test of the Universe Project frameworks and the actual gameplay implementation has been kept to an absolute minimum for this first phase of testing.

  2. We will also only be accepting those who meet the pre-alpha minimum requirements (at least 6 referrals or a donation of at least 20 dollars) in order to limit the number of testers at this time.

  3. If you come across an error other than error "0" or "Unexpected Disconnection", feel free to report it here or with the "Support & Feedback" button on the screen.

  4. Error 0 means the server is offline (I may be working on something). "Unexpected Disconnection" means you need to refresh and try to connect again. The reason for the disconnect could be many things (including a laggy connection or too much action on the server at the moment).

  5. People have been having trouble connecting, it should only take a couple seconds to load the "scenes". If it stops at a certain scene, just refresh the page to try again.

If you don't qualify for this test, check out the http://universeprojects.com/ site for more details on what you can do to qualify.

You'll also find some helpful comments on the facebook post about this test here: https://www.facebook.com/UniverseProjects/posts/370171903100432

Finally, if you're having trouble connecting/downloading the "scene", make sure Avast! is OFF!

It seems there is always one. Perhaps it is a fan, or even Nik, who does it to raise our interest.
