UO Second Age

Lately it seems theres only farmers on main shard, I say ban test shard and force everyone to go to main.

I say ban kabal for equally arbitrary reasons.

There are no rules against playing test, and there should be no such rules.

panthor always wins

heres what you should do kabal. go start killing all the farmers you find and they will all get off their other account on test and come to kill you...one way to bring them back lol

Get rid of all the regenent stones, unlimited kegs, free weps, and clear out the bank except for gold.

Boom Done.

remove the things you'll need to test things from test.

brilliant.

Theres no problem, theres at most 5 people on test at a time and it's laggy as hell. People using test doesn't impact the live shards population at all. Or anything else.

I agree with Panthor. I've never seen more than 5-6 people on test at one time, and more often than not, it's super laggy (for me at least). Leave test as is I say

When I use 50 recall regs searching all over and don't find anyone to fight, then I go to test and theres a bunch of people fighting, its somewhat frustrating. And its not like anyone is actually "testing" anything, people are just doing mage duels over and over, no new template or attack strategy, just playing the game . . . in trammel.

i agree it should only be put up to test an upcoming change.. linked message to test this change in motd or something and then say test center up for following period of time to test this mechanic.

however i think there is a benefit to it being up all the time for derrick because when it crashes he can use that information to fix the live shard. so people doing normal stuff with test code will uncover some bugs seemingly unrelate to changed code.

the problem isnt really test it is the lazy players

Hey, they have to find something to do in between events.

I wanted to use test to see what the combat system is like, see if I wanted to play this shard seriously. Has the server been taken down now?

I believe they no longer leave the Test Server running all the time. It was up recently, though. I see that it is down today.

-L/S

Aye, we would prefer that players play on the production server. The test server is for testing code changes and bug fixes, not for consequence free PvP.
