Focus Group: The Council of War

As the conflict heats up in Britannia, we’re looking for a few players to join a Focus Group to test the final portions of this event arc. We’re looking for the following types of people:

- Players who are familiar with large-scale, high-end PvM – paragons, champ spawns, previous event invasions, any and all of the above.
- Players with significant PvP – specifically Faction – experience
- Roleplayers – those of you who have been diligently following the storyline and can put your hand on all the loose threads with a moment’s notice

Please keep in mind that being in this focus group means that you will see spoilers about the event content, and being a part of it means you are willing to agree to keep those spoilers to yourself.

To apply, send an email to jdalberg AT ea DOT com with the following:

-Subject Line: Council of War Focus Group
-Real Name:
-Account Name(s)
-System Spec
- Handle (if you post on public forums - Stratics, etc - let me know who you are!)
-Why should you be a part of this focus group? (See above for the sort of experience we’re looking for – give details!)

If you are selected, you will receive an email that contains the information you need to get on the internal forums. Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis, and we will be choosing applicants who have a wide range of playstyles and experiences.

should be fun to have some sort of say in the future moulding of uo, hopefully some say in the way PvP has leaned of late

"past few years

Everyone, please don't forget to abide by the non disclosure agreements if lucky enough to be selected. And oh Queen Mum...are you a legendary macer with those rolling pins?

Great to see the UO Team working on these systems.

Sent my email - My faction experience is about 6 years old but I'm still hoping it'll be good enough

Noty to worry, we won't allow anything that breaks that disclosure to be posted.

Where are these "internal forums" that one would gain access too? Hopefully not on stratics
