We've been talking about ways to get people interested in moving to test or starting there. Things like accelerated exp gain, flying mount weekends, no exp loss on death, etc. Nothing is set yet, but we obviously need incentives to draw people in. I am actually considering moving my character there strictly out of principle. When we have the final details I will make sure they get posted here. |
You know, i've never liked the concept of the Test Server being in Live Server format. I understand why you need it as such, but i would much rather be able to make whatever character i want at whatever level i want which starts with some baseline gear so i can get right in and test changes/additions. New Zone? Load up a level appropriate char with baseline gear and go test it. Class changes? Load up a PC of that class and test them. etc. Seems like you detract from actual testing if you dont allow for flexibility in what people can do/test. I want to TEST on the test server, not play.
Just my 2cp.
