How does one start?

<DIV>Severe newbie question here, but if I wanted to fire up a couple chars on TEST to help out with testing new changes and such... How do I get started? Can anyone, without trying to make me look stupid, break this down and point me in the right direction?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Black</DIV>

Look in your EQ directory on your hard drive (C:program filessonyeverquest II) and find the testserver folder. There is a file called testserverhelp.txt that details the steps you need to know.  There is a FAQ on the boards also, but this is pretty straight forward. Cheers, Fekkin <div></div>

You end up with an EQ2Test icon on your computer desktop, almost as if you were playing a second copy of the game with a whole new character set available. It was very easy, but its a BIG first patch so be prepared for it to take some time.</P> <P>When you create a character on Test, make sure to "/join test" which is the chat channel that everyone seems to use for most purposes. Good luck.</P>
