Question: Is the test server ever going to be used again?

**CHRIS2005yeah**

Just a quick one, will the test server ever be used for anything else in the future?

It would be cool if some of the things that get messed about with in these patches is tested before hand (so we can see what they are :smileytongue SMILEY

What do you guys think?

hope fully it will be used for testing the new orginizational abilities which are :

Comming soon

I hope so, it would be a shame if they only opened it up for testing of the CR2.0.

It's a great tool to use for us to test future patches that haven't been finalized yet. The community could catch so many exploits and bugs that a limited Dev team wouldn't be able to in time.

Any word on this, NoRepro?

I think it will be used again as stated above with the new org abilties

However they will not keep it open all the time as then it costs money to run the server and costs them time to keep it running, time where they could be working on new content.

**RemagDiv**

Yeah, new content that we could test on the QA....

**burntspider**

yeah im sure it will be up again as soon as we are needed for the testing stage.

**Riac.**

the devs seem to use it to test stuff .... alot of the time its open to dev only

Which is puzzling, wouldn't they want as many people possible testing new patches? This way, more bugs and exploits get caught, thus less hotfixes and headaches when they pop up in Live.

HCFrog once stated that there were things that were wrong with the test server that they needed to fix.

They also apparently took the parts from the server and used them for other things :O So who knows!

As far as I know, each world server is made up of several physical servers. Rarebit mentioned once that he can't run the entire city on his test server boxy thing. My guess is that they repossessed the servers and stuck them into some other game that needed them, probably for a test of their own.

We'll get em back, someday.
Or maybe better ones. SMILEY

well lets hope it doesnt open at about 6GB i whiped it off my system as i assumed it wasn't going to be used again. and if it does open for the abilites that means i cant test them SMILEY

I wiped the test server off my coputer to gain space during the test of CR2.0 i was able to d/l it again so i should imagine if they were to use the test server again for upcoming events then you will be given the opportunity to d/l it again.

where there is one there are many
