how do you know if you are or will be a tester. Im one of those who has been waiting for 2 yrs ( i think).

A lot of factors go into tester selection, and not just how long ago the application was sent. We really can't say which people will be chosen - a lot depends on our needs for each particular beta.

I'm one of those ones that signed up to beta ages ago, and if I get picked I will be SO excited. But Lady, is there some way to update an application? I put down that I would be getting a PC with Vista at work and I've gotten it since then. Plus I put my PC (at home) with WindowsME in the basement, so I probably wouldn't use it for testing.
I imagine that other applicants have made changes in that long of a time. It'd be good if a person could update. Of course I know ya'll have enough on your plate as is right now, but something to add to the to-do list of the future?

One easy way is to submit another application, and in the text field, say that you are updating your information. Alternatively, you can send an email to betatest@ldw.com with any updated information, but (of course) we don't accept new applications by any other means than the official beta test application. In either case, make sure that you include your forum name, so that it's easier to make sure I'm updating the right person! I do know all of the regulars here on the forums, but I don't memorize email addresses.

Thanks Lady! I thought about submitting another application, but didn't know there was an update field. I didn't want to submit again and end up back at the bottom of the waiting list!!

There isn't an update field, Marcey. You'll have to explain that in the "tell us about yourself" field.

PLZ can some1 tell me if beta testing has started or not. If it has started how long ago? If not when does it start? at 100%???? Im confused!!!

Somewhere between 95% AND 100% usually, Sharli I think that beta testing has already started but by all means i could be wrong.

I think you can become a beta tester even if you are not a programmer. You can find _bugs_ eg. at some point children can walk on water, food amt don't go up if female were fishing, _bug_ about sharks...

I think beta testing has started, because LDW still saids it will be out in Spring 2008 (according to the video released a couple days ago) and beta testing can take quite a bit of time.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
