using the test server will see if thing work in the mass access enviroment...
Like Walrus said about the E-mail bug it worked perfect within SOEs testing grounds, but once the update was released it didn't work as planned worse it blocked all e-mails
If you log on to the test server and some bug like that happens you can't whine about it because it's a test server and test servers are more open to bugs and bug caused instability. The fact it's a test server means you log on at your own risc.
It's up to the SOE team but I think a continuos open test server is good, it tests things out with mass users, without messing up the "stable" servers... Recursion has become more stable over last months Recursion stays the least stable server though, if anything leaks or goes wrong it's most likely to happen there...
Back on topic: They should open it we wanna help them make a better product... Only people wi.lling to risc getting annoyed by bugs will log on, bugs/sploits can be reported sooner as well
