Talarian News
04:08 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]
This mail was sent out from the Talarian Gaming Staff:

With the success of the initial functionality test of the early versions of Telarian Gaming, work on newer versions of the client have already been put into progress.

In anticipation of new releases, Telarian Gaming is putting out the call for pilots to assist in testing newer versions of the Telarian Gaming client and the system it utilizes. With work continuing at a steady pace, testers will be needed in the very near future. The goal of these tests is accessability to Telarian Gaming. We encourage every pilot interested to sign up, as we need to make sure everyone can enjoy Telarian Gaming regardless of their setup.

For Telarian Gaming to be successful, we need serious pilots that can follow directions given to them by the testing staff.

Interested pilots should apply at http://www.telariangaming.com/app.htm.

As applications are received, you will be notified by the Testing Coordinator of dates and times we will need you to be available.
