CSTM Episode 49a: Beta Roundtable

This is our Beta Roundtable that was recorded Tuesday, August 3rd. We have with us five special beta testers who agreed on very short notice to talk about their experiences. We appreciate them taking the time to share their adventures in the beta so far.

• Azz: our resident warden and who has been on several podcasts
• Elborigorn: recently heard on the Captain’s Roundtable as well as a writer for CSTM
• Kiarane: known for her decoration posts and was heard on episode 44
• Geiri: heard on the Dungeon as well as the Captain’s Roundtable
• Bryandt: who has guest blogged for CSTM as well as added his expertise in the Minstrel Roundtable

We tried very hard to avoid major plot line spoilers for things like the epic quest line and the changes to the introduction quests. I believe we did accomplish this however if you are sensitive to spoilers and really want to be surprised when Free-To-Play launches, perhaps this is not the best thing for you to listen to.

It gets asked every roundtable so I should mention that a transcript will not be available for this show. I’m very sorry for those who prefer to read.
