Turbine recruiting a few good testers
Turbine is looking for a few good testers for its Palantir Private Preview Program (gnarly fingernails and deep vocal inflections are optional). In addition to flexing their alliterative muscles, the devs have also listed out the qualifications for the volunteer testing team on the official LotRO forums. The program, formerly known as Isengard, is designed to make use of interested players for quality assurance feedback and is open to all players regardless of their level of game experience.
"We want players who are new to the game, who are experts, who are hardcore, who are casual. Everyone has valid opinions we want to hear -- whether they are positive or negative," writes Kehleyr on the official boards.
The only real restriction currently imposed on the selection process is the exclusion of F2P community members, a fact Turbine attributes to its new billing system and one it hopes to change as the testing program moves forward.
