Unplayable State OF Test

[Evadne]

Any news?  Gradually, every character I log in becomes bugged and is locked at character select.  From the talk in the Test Channel, the rest of the server is becoming infected and has many characters locked at character select, by the server that is prohibiting them from playing due to an error.Love to see some sort of update on this.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Thanks,~EvaPhoenix of Fhir Rhuen<div></div>

<div></div><p>I have yet to be locked out - but don't know if I should be called the lucky one here. I zoned wildly through Q zones and all over KoS in the hope to find what bugs us. No result so far.</p><p>The only thing I realized is that in Q zones (esp. confirmed for Willow Wood and Q Harbor) the server seems to run on incredible lag. Trying to open any doors in those zones let's you wait for up to 2 minute to actual have the door opening that you activated.</p><p>I begin to wonder if our chars have the problem or if it's just the server completely lagging out from under us.</p><p>In any case : Give us some feedback here, SoE, please ! It's one thing to have your just gotten together group thrown out for a patch, it's another one to make it impossible to even get enough lvl 60+ people logged in to get a group going. It's 17 hours since you pinned us against that wall, meanwhile you have to have an idea  what you are dealing with. Thanks.</p><p>Purr~Test Server = priceless</p>

So the first post on this issue was at 10:35pm eastern last night. The last post was at 5:52pm eastern today. We still have yet to hear anything from SoE on this issue. When are ya'll going to start treating the test server players like the paying customers we are. If this was happining on a live server this issue would be addressed as soon as you could. I guess since we dont have the number of people to post here we just wont get the attention we deserve. I know, I know, we who choose to play on test are expected to deal with things like this and quoteing a CS rep from SoE " you get what you deserve if you choose not to play on a real server" . I dont expect special treatment or anything but an acknowledgement of the problem and a "we are trying to get a fix in" might be nice. If this issue continues into the weekend without a post from somebody at  SoE I will have to take some time to think about how I can better spend the 13 bucks a month I pay to play.Labb Accident<Children of War>Test Server<div></div>

It seems during the update yesterday a new issue occurred and it’s effecting several customers. We should see an update to the Test server shortly.</span></font></p><div></div>

We have a client on its way to Test right now. You should be able to run Launchpad again soon to get your characters fixed up. <div></div>
