Rotate the beta testers!
Here's an awesome idea! Rotate out the current beta testers w/ new testers. New testers = fresh eyes. Also, it'll deflate a few heads I believe! Thanks in advance!

Like I said back when they added all of you "new" testers, that was likely to be around the high point as far as activity went. I'd be willing to bet that a few of the people that were added in the last batch aren't very active anymore (although I think there's a good amount that are). I still check the FF servers all the time and it's empty most of the day. If you want people playing more regularly, 30-40 (that's how many I estimate are beta testers at least) aren't enough.
It was probably a good idea then, and still a good idea now, to add more testers if the level of activity desired was more than that. However, I realize the problem is more that there aren't enough active devs, not that there aren't enough beta testers, but whenever there's an infusion of new people, there is usually a corresponding pickup in interest from whatever devs there are. I realize that it's hard to find people you trust, but adding a bigger batch might do wonders as far as getting the entire team excited. My guess at a magic number would be around 30 more (maybe more)? |

Fear the Mullet!

Actually, a fresh set of eyes would be great!
I would take 8 new beta testers who know nothing about "Fortress" and let them have at it! Let's see what the viewpoint from a n00b on Fortress Forever is |

...actually, we can't make listen servers...
Devs can, but not testers.
