MCON Beta

The MCON Beta began on October 14th 2011 to a restricted group of volunteers. In all, there were a total of 14 participants, and the Beta Ran until October 28th 2011.

Origins
The MCON Beta was started to test for any inconsistancies from the concept. Previous testing had been done on a small scale using two or three participants testing individual elements. The Beta was the first time the Server in its entirity was opened and the gameplay itself was tested. For the most part testing was a success, only turning up a few errors or balancing issues. The Beta was also designed to see which features Players oriented towards, more than others, and players' reactions to different scenarios.

Closing
The MCON Beta closed two weeks later, due to financial problems and time restraints. Testing was pretty much complete by this point, and steps were taken to resolve the problems the Beta had turnned up. The indefinate hiatus lasted until November 22nd 2011, when Hyperjaw and Jaw's Consortium decided to resurect the server. As of December 8, 2011, the esimated ressurection date of the server is January 15th, 2012.
