Test PvP

[Hammerofg]

This is a message for the dev's, is there a problem with the pvp server seem I cant log into any of my test characters or make one on it.Anyone else having this problem

An announcement a while back indicated they closed it for now.  My guess is that it was repurposed or some of the beta testing for RoK.

I think that the test pvp should still be open since it's play style is different and does not have anything to do with live non pvp servers only the pvp ones.

Thank you for the PVP status posts. Those 7 gals I wanted to get rid of are gone. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" width="15" height="15" />

Can we get a dev to put fluffy destroyer of worlds back on the server since it went back up.

<p>Hammerofgod, </p><p>Other than hitting SoF, which you stated as a desire, why do you want a buffer there? The major changes that are upcoming are being beta tested now, GU 40 isn't in yet, and SoF is already live. So other than skipping ahead to test content that has been tested already, what is your real goal? Because honestly, it just sounds like you want to see what it is like to be 70 with fabled and go dink around with content that is already on the Live servers. Which, if that is your goal, then just be straight about it and say so. Form the request something like this,"Devs, I would like to have a place that I can buff up to 70, be given raid gear, and go play in areas that are already on live."</p><p>My point is, Test PvP is a great place for testing out large changes that haven't impacted the game yet, it is not your personal playground.</p><p>Brega - 70 Ranger, Test Server</p>

First off I already got 3 fabled out players on test pvp who are lvl 70 but you can also change your faction with fluffy as well you can still find bugs even if it did go live..and brega being a know it all does not a friend make..as well the channels of test pvp has people asking about the buffer so i'm actually taking a active role in helping in trying to get the buffer back
