Why can't Test have their characters appear on EQ2Players like everyone else?

Well, this has been addressed many times before. Short answer, Test is not a pristine environment. The discovery for example gets reset.  Items on test may never make it to live. There are buffed characters on test. Transfer issues.  The station players status and standings also include across server comparisons and that would be invalid for Testers.  There is never going to be a separate system for test--too costly. <div></div>

<P>While the idea of test being attached to EQ players is attractive, it is understandably impractical. Just give us a different page with a more relevant link, like our update notes <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  pleeeeease</P> <P>Minnah Mousze of Test</P>

While the players on test are superior to the players on the production servers, we are also more humble.  We have no need to proclaim our greatness, it's pretty obvious.Besides, like the commercial says, <i>"What happens on Test, stays on Test</i><div></div>
