From March 2010 to September 2010, I participated in the beta testing of LEGO Universe. I have compiled the screenshots I have taken during testing for the world to see.

To test your worth to Sentinel Faction, Melodie Foxtrot pits you against endless waves of Stromlings, Stromling Mechs, and Dark Spiderlings. Chainsaw Stromlings join in the battle around the six-minute mark.

Here, you can see fellow beta tester PowerMiner and I exploiting a glitch that allowed for infinite survival. That was our purpose as beta testers, to find these glitches, see their severity, and then report them. And that's just what I did; seeing that this glitch allowed for infinite survival, it could not be overlooked in the final game. In addition, you could say I was testing to see if the rewards for surviving ten minutes were worth it. Were they? ... Not really.

Beta Notes:
0:00 Beta GUI.
0:05 Players drop coins when smashed in Survival.
1:25 Chainsaw Stromlings are not wearing backpacks and are identified as simply "Stromlings" (changed in Battle of Nimbus Station update).
1:45 Slightly different geography in the entrance to Maelstrom Mine allowed for an exploit where players could hide in a hole in the rocks. The Maelstrom Fog would be unable to push the player away, and most enemies would be unable to attack the player. Speedy Pants and a few beta icons can be seen in the Backpack.

Music is "Bowser's Road" from "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games". I have no idea who arranged it, but it was originally composed by Koji Kondo for "Super Mario 64". I chose it for its intensity and somewhat-similarity to the beta Survival Instance music.
