    Test Center?

    Will a test center be made available to players looking to test housing, crafting, general game mechanics, etc.?

    Test centers eliminate a bit of pvp on the original servers... Whenever theres a test center you end up with a lot of people who wont fight on the legit server, instead they run around on the main server talking shit and saying "duel me on test" *sigh* I hope if there is a test center here this isn't the case...

    Yea I'd hope against there isn't a test center. Maybe during the open beta it'd be nice if there was one though

    I disagree with this. Test center shouldn't be implemented until the server fully launches (if that isn't what 'open beta' means ;p). Launching a test center now would just lower the overall population. Players would just 'test it out' rather than take the time and get a feel of what the shard really has to offer.

    If that's the case then I'd just rather there never be a test center. If you are afraid of test center lowering the population during beta what do you think will happen when the server launches? There is always lazy people who would rather just play on test center because they can set their skills and build instant housesm, come on to the main server, pester people with characters on 60 max skill and then demand duels on test. Still dropping the population, and when it really matters.

    I fail to see how launching a test center at the same time as the grand launch would be any different..

    If you're worried about people just "testing it out" can't they "just test it out" when the server launches?

    The only way I see a test center not having negative impacts is creating a very low cap for the number of people allowed on the server. I think it might make sense to give people an server to hop on really quick to test something out, but leaving the possibility of people playing it over IPY itself open would be a mistake.
