Kazopark BETA release date has been extended!

[Blinger$]

Unfortunately we have been unable to execute our plan for Alpha testing outside of the Kazopark Staff/Moderation team due to strict NDA's having to be signed, and we are unable to ask for the personal details of any user from this Forum.&lt;br&gt;<br>
&lt;br&gt;<br>
We look forward to seeing you inside the BETA.

&lt;br&gt;<br>
wow... good job.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;you lost me as a user.&lt;br&gt;<br><br>edit: does that mean garion/oli/mattgarner etc signed this NDA ;l?<br>

[Kimber]

That is correct.

[Blinger$]

Why couldn't us "alpha" testers sign one then ?

[Kimber]

We would have required your full address for the document to be sent to, which was not something we were allowed to do.

So you lied to us pretty much.. This was before the open beta:

Also wtf is this about? An NDA is between you and the end user, why were you not allowed to do it? Habbox forum "management" stopped you? Pathetic?

Mhm, the list of "alpha testers" (at the time they were: ,Park, Bolt660, Cola, CowBiscuiits, Deathstowel, dogboy123, DUBSTEP, Grig, HotelUser, ihatehash, Inseriousity., Mathew, MattGarner, Blinger, Neil, Oli, Stuto) were used to give feedback about what they designed, and if you ask me, we did a fairly good effort.. In return we were promised alpha testing of the client and possibly (and i quote) "a Super Rare... Or maybe an Ultra Rare during the BETA."

I am 19 and sure would have signed this NDA. -.-' Their constant excuse was "its too buggy/laggy"...

A process where, as an application approaches full functionality, it is often made available to a carefully selected subset of sophisticated users. This differs from later beta testing, where the product is more functional and made available to a wide group of users

An NDA is needed if they wanted everything to be kept confidential. I can understand why they wouldn't want to get users of the forum to sign these as they can't know for sure you're over 18. Not only that, but hxf being associated with users giving confidential information such as your address is damaging. You probably need to be 18 to sign one of these contracts, so I can see there reasoning behind it. Perhaps they hadn't thought of this before they thought about alpha testing and picking users lol

And not everything needs alpha testing. Just so yknow, I'm not defending them cus the game looks a bit iffy, just, stating facts lol

Are you the old Matt from MF who I stole the name from?

O/T: All sounds like poor project planning to me. I had a ritual on MMOCCForum, back in the days of the failure MMOCCs.
