- You need a ship with large cargo space to enjoy that game. To get to that it'll require lots of hours of mining!

Beta testers need to meet the minimum computer specifications – detailed on the application form – and have an internet access. They must be 18 years of age or older, as this is the minimum age to sign the Non-Disclosure Agreements needed to participate.
Interest in games, especially massively multiplayer games, is an advantage as is any testing experience you might have. Applicants have to be aware of that beta testing is not just about playing and having fun with the game and that there is work involved. Testers will be asked to devote several hours per week to testing and will be asked to test certain game systems or areas of the world of EVE, often on specific days at specific times. Testers will also be required to send in bug reports and answer the occational test survey to be able to continue their participation in the beta test.
We are looking for people that can communicate their ideas clearly and have an attention to detail. During the testing process you will have to explain to us how you found potential bugs and problems in the game and how to reproduce them. We will also ask for your views on game design and playability in order to improve the game.
The beta test will operate in a number of phases, with a large group of players working in concert to play the game. It will start early in the year 2002 in a closed beta testing phase with limited numbers of participants, later evolving into a larger community testing the game´s performance. We will initially select a small group, but will gradually increase the numbers of participants as the beta testing progresses. This gives participants several opportunities to contribute to the creation of EVE.
