[Mefune]

Well its been over a year since the Basilisk play server started yes?
Are we in Alpha or Beta atm?
Is "sometime in the far future" still that?

Any idea? No idea? Stop asking?

Just curious!


Thanks so much to the creators of the EMU!! What a genuine treat it is to be playing old school SWG again!

Technically, 'we' are in ALPHA testing still.

And, to quote the late great Master Yoda: Always in motion, the future is...

Personally I'd say Pre-Alpha..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwar...ycle#Pre-alpha

i'm 62, anyone older?

Me by a few years but a lady never admits to her real age.
It was mentioned earlier that fewer older folks play because they never did as children. If they decided to do online gaming now they would find SWG to be perfect for them. The extrovert and introvert can both flourish here perfectly due to the complexity of the social, combat and crafting network. You want to join a guild? Wonderful. You don't want to join a guild. Wonderful. It's all about the freedom to do what you love best. If you are lazy and don't want to do much but sit in a cantina and chat with your friends, SWG can provide that. If you want uber complexity and want to work hard, SWG can provide that. If you want to sit in a camp all day enjoying nature, SWG can provide that. We've all been through this discussion before but it's worth mentioning again.

Here's to us old folks!

Grenades do work. They were added with publish 3.

Nope.. Pre-Alpha ..

I can't tell if you're being serious or just trolling. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and respond as if you were being serious.

You should either re-read the link you posted before, or learn more about this project.

According to your link:

"Pre-alpha refers to all activities performed during the software project before testing."

"The alpha phase of the release life cycle is the first phase to begin software testing"

We are clearly software testing so, according to your link, we cannot be in the pre-alpha stage.

Not trolling, just stating my opinion !

If you'd have read a bit further on that very link....

"Pre-alpha refers to all activities performed during the software project before testing. These activities can include requirements analysis, software design, software development, and unit testing. In typical open source development, there are several types of pre-alpha versions. Milestone versions include specific sets of functions and are released as soon as the functionality is complete."

and since we appear to having 'Publishes' or 'Milestones' and design and development is still very active as there are parts that aren't even close to being complete yet. I would edge to say it's Pre-Alpha, however It doesn't really matter ! - if you want to call it Alpha then feel free to do so

• Alpha - The alpha software development phase is the stage where all features are in the process of being implemented. When it begins, there may be many missing features, but by its end, all major features should be implemented.
  
• Beta - The beta software development phase is marked by the implementation of all major features. During this phase, the primary focus of software development is to fix any and all bugs, as well as implement content that expands upon the major features from Alpha.

Its alpha

[TheAnswer]

It is alpha, usually during pre-alpha there is no functionality to test. When you move to black box testing, its when alpha starts (that doesn't mean software development and design halts).
