In PL, Apple users had it months before android was added

I'm sorry Faot. Given the limitations of releasing beta products on the Apple App Store, we are not likely to pursue a beta phase on that platform. We are unrestricted on the Android Marketplace to release beta apps and we will probably go that route again.

Yea this is where the two platforms butt heads. In PL, Android players were last to get it and Apple users first. In SL, Android players with Verizon had access to the closed beta first and Apple users last. Sounds super fair to me.
We must also remember that a beta game is not just a way to start playing early but to go over it for the devs while giving thoughts and suggestions to twink and fix some things for the full release so that all players can enjoy the game.

Yup hopefully we'll have a short closed beta. The community was awesome in the SL closed beta then till the releases. :(

At the end of the day, the game is being designed for mobile. While we will bring it to desktops, we're likely to focus on a mobile beta. Again, no guarantees as to how the beta will shape up.

Cool Sam hopefully I can get in on the closed beta like I did with SL. Some questions;When is the closed beta? Since its coming out for droid platform 1st will we be able to share plat from either PL or SL? Also hopefully its out before the 2012 olympics.

Apple hates the thought of us transfering platinum from game to game. That's why the sharing of platinum was dismissed so that STS could be on Apple products.

Can't remember. It's around the house some where lol but if it ran pl then it most certainly run DL

I wouldn't bet on that. Somewhere around here one of the devs were saying that the system reqs for DL will be higher than PL or SL.


Here it is:


We haven't announced specific requirements of the game. However, I can say that the art team is turning out some awesome looking stuff that will likely need some good horsepower to run. I don't know that the iPad1 is one of the devices we currently support that might not have enough horsepower. I think devices that fall in the "lack of horsepower" camp are old 2nd generation iPhones and iPod touches, for example.

Yea iOS wise I'll be fine. 3 iPhone 4's and 2 iPad 2's in the house lol. My brother has that razr droid or w.e it's called, so it SHOULD run on it right?

Just an idea, but is it possible to release the full game but only allow access to certain players with the "beta key?" This would give IOS players the ability to access the game early also.

I think the issue is with Apple and their beta app rules.

To counteract apples beta rules, WoM is doing an open beta by releasing it as an actual app under a different name. But being that they've had a handful of betas already and DL will have just this one, I don't think it's the safest way to go about it. Looks like its going to be just for droids. Maybe they'll do a chrome open beta? I doubt it though..

That was sort of my point...release the full game for IOS but still somehow make it beta.

But my point is that World of Midgard is on its 3rd beta, with the fourth secretly being on the apple app store. With all those betas the game should be polished enough to get away with it. DL won't have as many betas, so releasing a beta secretly in the app store isn't favorable. Just wait it out man.
