Advanced Users - An Approach to Developers
As some of you may have already noticed at the bottom of the board there is a new usergroup created recently:
...at the very beginning a few of you who are reading this.
This is a new approach of L2j to the Community to get users involved into the active development, users who cant code fixes/patches or new features to L2j can still help a lot, we need people with strong willpower and participation to help us to make more stuff.
What objectives did we want to achieve by creating this group?
- In the first place, we wanted to form a group of trustable users; a group closer to developing activity and, specially, to developers, either providing support, retail info, test reports, bug information, feedback, etc.
- Secondly, we wanted to somehow award those users who offer altruist support to either the team or the community users with a new position within the community and some new privileges.
- Create a bond between users and developers as community representatives.
There are many little trivial work that we would like to share with you:
- Providing Quality Support to other Community Members through forums.
- Testing 0-day patches
- Testing New Features before being commited to the SVN
- Testing New Releases during Closed Development
- Providing Retail Gameplay Information
- Providing feedback about our work and the Community.
- Idleing on IRC with us
- Becoming Wiki Editors
- Getting involved in team decissions.
