Public beta testing on active servers

Whenever you (Haypi) are going to release an update, would it be possible to hot fix all or most of the features on to an active server for a public beta? It would be beneficial to the whole community and you guys.

Re: Public beta testing on active servers

Public beta testing would just spoil the new features. However, a private server with a select few players - either by volunteering or selected by staff - would be a good idea.
I don't see any point releasing the new version to a public server available for all the players to just have it right after.
But this is a nice idea as they can also get some feedback to improve it as well, to not face the numerous complaints after the features are released.

This actually already exists as I have experience with this with a previous game.

Great idea! I think this would help the programers a lot more when it comes to development. And it would save them the MASS amount of mails about the same thing. Get a list of Elite players or ones who are most helpful and knowledgable about the game... Or give a Haypi Monster Quiz and whoever scores the highest can be part of the Beta test of a new server with the new updates.

Re: Public beta testing on active servers

Games like Battlefield 3 and 4 had and will have public betas, it's a matter of fact that not only do you increase awareness, but you also increase the amount of people who can locate bugs and glitches. Make them swear like an oath or something saying if they expose any information, leak anything, they're accounts are banned for a month or something like that.
