Hello everybody.

I am considering playing on the test server for many reasons, some obvious and some not. I have a few questions before i invest anytime there.

1. How large is the community?
2. I have tried to play on the eq1 and 2 test servers. I had no noteworthy characters to mention on them, mainly because the community seemed closed off and very difficult to talk to. This question is, at present how friendly does the community seem in terms of tolerance and bahavior?
3. Do you think that a character on the test server would be a lonely proposition?


Before anyone asks me, Yes, part of the reason i am interested in test is the newly offered double exp as an incentive to test. I would like to add though that i was considering playing on test before that announcement was made, it was this that swung me further into the decision of playing on test. If rewarding enough i might be able to pursuade my small guild to join me there. If however the community is anything like the eq2 and eq1 test communities then i will not even waste another moment of my time.

I want to add here i do not dislike those other test server communities. However a few individuals i really felt ruined the whole.A good example would be that when i said hello for the first time after i learned how to join the global test channel (in eq2) what i got was people asking me why i felt qualified to play on test. Before i knew it five minutes later i found myself trying to defend my MMO experiences to these people. I felt that was no way to welcome a new comer. So i never logged in there again. I dont want a repeat of this type of experience.

I really am looking for a smaller community that feels more nuclear than playing on a large population live server.

Thank you for allowing me this post. I look foward to reading and appreciate in advance anyone who takes the time to answer my questions.
