First off I really liked your post Naiya it was very well put together but there is one part of it that does not set well with me. I do not think that there should be copies to test server. Myself and some others who play on Test are against this type of service and for good reasons. Copies would only hurt the test server community. I know that we have a very small population at the moment but those we do have here are here because they consider test their home. I do also believe that we will continue to grow in time as Vanguard becomes increasingly polished.

If copies were allowed I doubt that it would be used as anything other then an opportunity to come on test to get the scoop on upcoming content for one's personal gain then after return to live with no benefit what so ever to the process. If SOE wants new people for test then may I suggest that they promote free 1 way transfers to the test servers. In EQ2 this one done and we did gain new people on the test. A Tester Recruiting drive done quarterly would be great imo.

I also believe that our testers as of right now are not being used to the full extent in which we could be although I must say that last week it felt really good that the Developers came over and we got to talk to a few to fix some problems on the spot. Don't get me wrong we /bug as much as we can but there is nothing better (and faster) then being able to talk to the person who is responsible for the fixes and getting things done. Hopefully we see more of this in the coming months.
