Im sure we all realise how feckless Nexon is but I couldnt even begin to imagine what kind of crap people would have reported to them. Well that is even if they reported anything at all. All anyone ever wanted to do was kill Zakum, Horntail and plantain around as a level 200.
I do agree that it is better if Tespia is just put to rest. It didnt work the first time around and the revival was no better.
Nexon could have dealt with that. From the first to the second session of Tespia, they could have locked out the people who didn't report anything meaningful, and left only the dedicated testers. But they couldn't be bothered even to do that.
And btw, even at 200 in Tespia, the gear you get is so weak that trying to boss with it is a pain. Not to mention that getting all-cures for a zrun is not a simple task. People who just wanted to kill bosses and "plantain around as a level 200" quickly got bored of Tespia and left.
There were many of us seriously trying to test stuff, even with Nexon completely ignoring Tespia once they got it up. If a channel crashed, it remained crashed. If a game-breaking bug was reported, no patch was released, so entire sections of content couldn't even be reached. In the first few sessions, Cody wouldn't do job advances or give out skillbooks, which made testing higher-level content impossible. And so on and so forth.
It could have been a useful tool, but the way Nexon America handled it, well, it was just a waste of money for them and of time for us. R.I.P.
