The Beta Starts

After about six months in development, it was time to start testing the game. We identified the fans we thought would make the best testers and invited them into Camelot 's first Beta test. The test would eventually have four stages and would run for almost a year; the first versions tested had only one realm and a limited number of classes, but as time went on, the game got more and more content.

The Beta test was very important to Camelot 's maturation ; it allowed players to tell us what was going on in the game, how the different classes performed, and how the world was designed and set up. We made many changes and tweaks to all aspects of the game during the Beta period; most were made because of tester feedback.
