MathCraft's first Free Beta Weekend will begin on Saturday, August 20 at 9:00 a.m. CDT and end on Sunday, August 21 at 9:00 p.m. CDT.
As part of the Beta Weekend, we're very interested in your feedback, like how MathCraft runs on your computer, your experience with the Beta servers, critical bug reports, and other game-impacting problems. We're pushing our hardware to the limit with this large public event, so don't be too surprised if you encounter a glitch: we'll be very interested to hear about it.
Each time you log out of the game, you'll be prompted to fill out a brief survey about your gameplay experience. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey at least once. We would also value any additional feedback you have for us, which you can send to mathcraft@cyc.com.
