10. Can I interact with Closed Beta testers during the weekend?

Yes, Closed Beta testers will have access to the same leagues that public players will. Since the public Default and Hardcore leagues are being enabled specifically for this weekend, the existing Closed Beta testers must create new characters if they choose to play in them.

Does this mean the current default league's characters will be moved to legacy before the public stress test?

Oh wait.. after re-reading it.. it sounds like they are creating new leagues named "Public Default league" / "Public Hardcore League". Either way I will be happy since I want to play on a new league that lasts longer than 3 hours lol..

This wording is left over from the original event - we haven't 100% finalised what's happening with the new event in terms of leagues.

Looking at current in game economy and changes that will come with the patch it would be nice to see an migration or a wipe too :) I think it would be a lot more fair for all the new people that come to game with the open weekend.

So I would vote for a wipe / migration or even full wipe / start from 0 and another test how the economy will run in game before open beta, I know it's soon but hey it's beta afterall. It would be great to test again how the economy / OP builds new ratios will work again in CLEAN new WORLD.

I keep refreshing the Beta Status forum hoping for patch notes, as I know it is Tuesday over there and thus within 24 hours of Wednesday and the release of the patch.

MUST. SEE. PATCH. NOTES.

Acrobatics is still at 20% for sure.

Very Vague Teaser: There is another bit of 0.9.9 enlightenment coming very soon!

Patch notes, perhaps?

Chris has said there would be one in 24 hours, about several hours before.

So 24 hours has passed yet ? No.

So why the hell all of you just can't wait like a bride that is about to enter the nuptial chamber ?!

Canceled?

Because you can't read what the 24 hours was from. Protip: It wasn't from when he posted.

Don't forget to update the Beta Manifesto next week, Chris.

Also, thanks to whoever pointed out how changed the Sixth's starting nodes are now. Totally different indeed. And since I've already driven a ranger down there...hmmm...

I wish to add in to the few who have asked for Genders. The difficulty is half the problem, Time while other tasks need completed and money required. The money requirements for genders of each class was already quoted long ago.
It also destroys the lore of the game.

Awesome! Glad to hear we'll have another public weekend for publicity along with 0.9.9 and the 6th class. I look forward to seeing the patch notes soon. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's already Tuesday afternoon in NZ, right?

Should be about 1.15pm NZ time by my reckoning (two hours faster than east coast Australia.)
