Re: Why even have a test server?

This gave the testers a total of 16 hours to test the content of 1818a before it went live. That is not enough time. Are you that desparate for patches that you dont want it player tested? We may be a small community, but we try to be thorough. If you keep this up, the only players on test will soon be only the ones that go there to see what the new content is and not care whether it works or not.

PLEASE GIVE US TIME TO TEST CHANGES!!!!

Thank you.
Well thats not good if the attitude over at SOE is "hurry up and bandage" and nothing thorough gets done prior to going live. We need this game to live and attract customers, not scare them away. Currently I have had a change of attitude, at first due to the takeover I wasn't going to subscribe at all, but since I have gotten over my anger about the whole thing, I have this to say.
Those of us who still want this beautiful game to succeed, should be putting our money where our mouthes are and spending a little time on Test helping out.
I know that doesn't appeal to some..and I can understand why.

Lets not drop the ball..as Microsoft did..and eventually..unfortunately Sigil did. I feel for the Sigil employees...but lets see if we can do a little something ourselves.
I have several characters on test, some who do craft, diplo and adventure. Will be restarting my sub soon.

Hope there are others out there like me that have reconsidered (for now!).

If Soe isn't willing to give time for the bug reports and testing to get done on patches due to go live..then I think they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

Come on Soe.....lets see some changes in attitude here...please?

In the long run if care IS taken to get this game up to snuff...then you will see the monetary rewards you are after.............
