Thanks everyone for your patience A bit late, but test server is about to come. We'd like to hear opinions on what you'd expect from it. What rates, what you would want to test and how we should service that. Test server is mostly for players, as requested. Originally we didn't have a public one in plans, but thought it was indeed a good idea to let everyone test and verify our work before the actual start. So please, share your thoughts.
A few things to note though:
Please, keep in mind that any time we ask for opinions it doesn't mean 'voting'. Therefore it's not numbers that matter but the actual reasoning.
Test server will be open in just a few days. We might first let supporters only (for a day or two) in order to do some connections tests and take pictures for the upcoming promoting movie. Then it will be open for everyone.
A few things to note though:
- It is not meant to be a 'high rate edition' or anything in this kind. It is stricte TEST server only. The main purpose is to let people try the authenticity of Tibiantis server mechanics before its start. Hence you should not expect test server to be balanced and highly populated with typical rat race, wars etc. It's supposed to be convenient for testing, not playing. All characters will be wiped out after.
- Test server will start as a clean copy of real Tibia 7.4, which is not what actual Tibiantis will exactly look like. Some custom changes in mechanics may be applied during test server, but we want to give an opportunity to review the original first. Any custom content (such as new creatures, map changes, quests etc.) will NOT be included in test server at all, to keep it fair for everyone on the start of Tibiantis. So you do not have to worry, no secret knowledge will be revealed.
- Anything that's not in accordance to real 7.4 can be reported as a bug (unless already announced - in case of own changes).
- On test server everyone will be given premium account.
- Rates for test server can be discussed, except for loot rate which will remain x1. Loot is considered a part of mechanics and shouldn't be changed to allow testing its correctness. To let people afford testing whatever they want, we might put an NPC providing gold instead (for example). But that's also to be discussed.
