As many of you know, the next private beta of WotE is coming quite soon (probably in 2 weeks or so), and that's why I made this topic. People now have the chance to become testers of the exclusive Dorwinion faction, plus all the evil factions have been finished and a lot of new units have been added.

I will test the factions myself, but it's better when there are more people who are able to spot bugs. Therefore I'm looking for testers who have
- time to play a lot
- experience in beta testing
- been active at the forums and have knowledge about the mod

I will only take about 10 new testers (the more testers, the better, but it's a private beat so not too many people should have it ;) ). The "old" testers still have their beta testing position, they are listed below:
- GilGalad
- YodaWarrior
- Lord Homer of the Shire
- GrandMoffDima
- Tubaloticus
- LordOfNazgul95
- Servant of Sauron

Also the people who have made donations/helped me with the mod (and have RotWK), are free to download the beta. Unlike the testers, they don't have to report anything to me ;)
- robnkarla
- Caluadan
- JEV3
- Juissi
- Karsh
- MorrisB
- Elendil the High
- jimmyman
- Puppeteer
- elvenfury
If I've forgot someone's name, please let me know :)

So if your name isn't on any of the above lists, now's your chance to apply for the beta. Give me info about why should you be a tester, and I will most likely give the permission to join if you apply fast enough ;)

Get your applications rolling :D

Here's the list of the new beta testers:
- el kevo
- Captain Beremir
- lotrfreak
- Sheephoof
- lasman
- angelastar
- thenewch
- Havefun

Altrough I'm mentioned on the list, I'll now make an application.

I'm not an experience Beta Tester and I don't have so much time to play (damn the school exams :D ), I think I still could prove useful due to my current knowledge about the mod, plus I'm good at bug spotting (you yourself know this Ithron ;) ).

I'll be glad to report any bugs ;)

I'd like to apply. I'm very expieranced in the magical art of beta testing i have tested for:

Battles of Gondor
War of the Simirals
Last Alliance (At one point in time)
Wars of Arda
RJ-Rotwk

I report big lists and usually nose my way through every faction one at a time. Also this mod has become quite exciting and i would like to do my part to help it

I'd like the next Beta too. This mod is turning out great, and i've loved it since i first saw it over the summer. I'd be glad to try and find any problems/bugs, too, as well as continue to come up with more ideas.


Only, one thing :D : I am unable to download WOTE onto my ROTWK comp. Would it work if I downloaded it onto a disk and tried bringing it there? If so, how would I do it/instructions please. Because I haven't played any WOTE yet ;) but want to so badly, and am just wondering if I would be able to get it somewhere by disk.

Thanks, Beremir ;)

download the mod on the other comp
put all files into a memory stick or whatever you like (cd seems overkill :lol:)
plug it in to your rotwk computer
place the file ending with .big in the application data rotwk map
C:\Documents and Settings\########YOUR USERNAME########\Application Data\My The Lord of the Rings, The Rise of the Witch-king Files
and put the .ink file (the shortcut) wherever you like

sorry but you cannot nominate yourself. To be honest with most people the only beta testers i think are who ithrons chooses. You can beta apply but i think you did it in the wrong manner imo. i know you like the mod :lol: thats great and ithron will probably choose you cus hes a nice guy but the way you wrote it was imo wrong. and ithron dont forget to put my map in i nearly finished it :p

Looking forward to it. Unfortunately I'm very busy with studying atm, that's why I can't do the audio. But I'll try to work as hard as I can.
