Open beta is... open!

As of a couple of hours ago, the open beta is... open!

Remember, this is just a test site, and it is not a live game launch, which is why we are not creating much fanfare about it. After a few weeks of testing this will become the live game. For now, it is just a voluntary test platform and it will not impact your live account at all.

When open beta is complete all data and accounts on the open beta will be deleted, and the game will be launched on igpmanager.com, where your old accounts will take over. So, don't become too attached to your open beta account, use it to test everything as thoroughly as possible. That's what we need to make the game as polished as possible by the final launch.

I will be writing more blogs in the weeks ahead about the new game and what will change as we migrate to the new platform. As I have already mentioned on the forum there will be changes to the subscription system and the Tokens system has replaced Reward Points to make everything much more straightforward and integrated in to the game. If you are a subscriber on the live site, rest assured that we will ensure that subscribers get better value than anyone else when the new game arrives. It is thanks to your support that we are still here, after all.

FAQ

Will the open beta use my account from igpmanager.com?

No. The purpose of the open beta is to test the game and find issues. The open beta test will be totally voluntary and run on a separate website from the live site and both will co-exist at the same time for a period, until the update is ready to go live.

Will I need to create a new team on the new iGP?
&
Will I need to re-build my team / drivers / staff when the new iGP Manager is released?

No. Your current team will be moved to the new iGP Manager in its entirety. The only thing you need to do is re-assign your design attributes as the new system will be totally different. Your design progress will be converted to a value on the new system and you will be able to assign it wherever you wish on the attributes of your car.

Will my results on the open beta count for anything?

Nope. All data, teams and results from the open beta website will be deleted when the update goes live.

Will I lose anything when the update goes live on igpmanager.com?

Everyone will lose the Commercial Director and some facilities (e.g. Commerce) which have been removed from the new game, but you will keep drivers, most staff and facilities. You'll pretty much keep everything you have on the new iGP.

Will my league continue on the new iGP Manager?

Yes. We have worked hard to ensure that there will be as little disruption to your leagues as possible. The worst case scenario we can foresee is that there will be one day of down-time while the update is put live, and all races are postponed on that day. Other than that, leagues should continue as if nothing happened.
