For me it was a matter of sinking in. I saw it but had my attention on other things.
Test server thing; I'd be great for that since I'm not competing as a way of life. But I boast solid activity and virtual vacuum results since I'm not in any circles that have strategic bias.
love that thick mahogany back with no belly carve or anything...pure thick wood ! The thing ROCK is made of !

I cast StarCraft II and Overwatch, and host Esports events here and there - have done a few DreamHacks and IEMs in the past, and I love it :)
Amusingly I used to be a competitive CS1.5 (yes, 1.5!!) player back in the day. Nowadays, however, there are about 20-30 super solid ridiculously good CS commentators and I enjoy their work - trying to also become 'one of them' while holding down a full time job would be awesome, but perhaps unrealistic. :)

Ooooh I didn't even know I had crowns, are they edible?
I don't often agree with Bart, but as to point 1 I know that the test server was open to select players (or through some other means of allocation I am not aware of). While I think that this is essential to work out bugs etc, it's unfair to have certain strata of the community know ahead of time what works and what doesn't. Half my decisions this age were made from leaked beta testers information. While I am not going to chop down the devs here like Bart is, he does have a point to make about access. I proposed elsewhere that testing could be given to every kd OR maybe the top 25 kds as an option pre age so they can both help, and be aware of the changes.
Again, there have been good developments, but to say that this is an unbiased community in which we are all equals is incorrect. Every age is the "age of nepotism" as far as I am concerned. Many great voices in this community go unheard - (like Attero) etc, and then the loudest (bart), or the established (faceless men) seem to be the most rewarded.

The test group is available to everyone. It has been linked in the message of the day (which everyone gets when they login to utopia), on IRC, distributed via munkbot, and here in the forums. All anyone needs to do is ask. If you don't pay attention to any of those channels, it becomes a lot harder. What would you want us to do, email everyone?
The vast majority of formulas used in the test server have been altered, or new formulas are not implemented until after testing for functionality is complete.

And worth pointing out that the explore pool numbers were posted on the forums and in the changes thread before the age started specifically because they were first tested on the testing server, so that testers wouldn't have an unfair advantage knowing those details

Emailing everyone is probably the best way to get everyone involved. I'm not saying it wasn't offered, I'm saying that it wasn't as open as it could be. 90% of people I spoke to had no clue about it even with the above mentioned ways to gain access. Again, this isn't an attack on you guys as I like the revitalization of the game, just that if everything is in one easy to digest format and accessible to all we can more easily make the community tighter. I will still argue that getting access to the test servers was an advantage though.
