[linen123]

Ill give you cookies if you do so <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Kiara]

<p>I'll try and hop onto test-copy later to do so.</p><p>Test... well that's a different thing altogether and you'll have to hit up the GM's for that <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I toyed with the idea of playing on test-copy this weekend, and I know some folks were looking for me... All I can say is, sorry.  It was my birthday and I decided to vegitate.</p>

[illaria]

<p>How long does the buffer bot stay up on test copy? If I log on late tonight I hope he is still there : D</p><p>Thanks</p><p> PS Happy Birthday, I too was vegitating this weekend -I spent all weekend on EQ2 : P</p>

<p>Happy 21st Birthday Kiara.... (have no idea how old you are but arent all women 21 forever?) /nod brownie points to Cigam</p>

<p>Moosh is AWOL so /bump <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

That would need to go thru another department and be something that wouldn't probably happen immediately. And because of this, it runs the risk of being problematic when they patch the game to the live servers. Imagine if someone forgot to remove Moosh from the codebase and it was uploaded to live servers. Moosh would be spawning on live servers and that would be terrible.</p><p>As far as having Test_Copy have a different codebase/database then any other server, that would require more time and money, something Sony isn't likely to give. Everytime a patch was done they'd need someone to come in and tweak the moosh spawns. Yeah way too much of a problem.</p><p>It's easier and safer to have friendly people like Reahov and Kiara to spawn Moosh manually.</p>

[Khiara]

<p>ACK...Moosh is gone again!!! *looks about for a toddler leash in xxxxxxxl for the wayward buffer and hands it to Kiara* Here ya go!!!! And Happy Belated on the Bday =D</p><p>Btw...test copy gets wiped? Can someone explain why this is? Ye Gods I have to remake ALL my girls O.O /faint</p>

<p>Moosh down on the test server</p>

[hussle]

<p>Does it take a GM to spawn Moosh or is there something a player can do to get him up?</p>

[Chalysa]

<p>I know that this may be a bit of a strange request, but is there any way to get moosh to give T3 Hybrid armour as well as the T3 Tank armour to a toon that is a lvl 80 Berserker and NOT reset the masters that she has to the Expert lvl?</p><p>I want to test something out that I have noticed on the live server.

[Reahov]

<p>Unfortunately, Moosh isn't capable of such a thing.  But please, go ahead and /bug it if you think you have a bug.  Just be as specific as possible.</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>Has Moosh done a vanishing act already or is he somewhere other than Ant/CL docks?</p>

[Trellium]

<p><cite>Gaatz wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>Moosh down on the test server</p></blockquote><p>He is up at the character spawn point in Greater Fay right now, but he isn't at CL docks.</p><p>Also, you say Test server and its actually only Test Copy server that has him.

[Enever]

<p>Not at Chrykori Beach either.</p>

[Trulaf]

<p>He was at Chrykori the other day when I was on. Is he gone again?</p>

[Enever]

<p>He was down as of 3 am CST. Any idea when he'll be up? I need to get an evil class balanced with my good level 80 XD.</p>

[Vonotar]

Can we have Moosh back please, and while you're tinkering with test.copy can you enable house layouts as well (we appear to be the only server not enabled at the moment). Much appreciated!!

[Arturoz]

<p>we need a LOL cats pic with intsead of asking for cookies he is asking for moosh..</p>

[Rosana]

<p>Any chance to have Moosh respawned please? He seems to have gone on another unexpected vacation. Thank you. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Kithica]

<p>I was hoping to check out the different scouts and bards. Could you guys spawn a moosh again please?</p>

[Alenna]

<p>PLease respawn the buffer, I've been waiting since beginning of november to buff the 3 toons I copied over and have never found him at the antonica docks. i"ve tried early morning, afternoon and evening times I really want to try some fo the new stuff before it hits live. </p>

[Kithica]

<p>I found Moosh at the newbie area in Darklight Wood. You might have to sneak in if you're level 1 though. there are a couple guards there.</p>

[Elunid]

<p>He's run away again *^_^*</p><p>If he's not up ~ how do we test the instance he was promoting?</p>

[Rezono]

<p>can someone please spawn moosh for a couple days??? that would be awesome! i need moosh!</p>

[RaidenSF]

<p>Yes please spawn Moosh once again. ty.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /></p>

[wolfsberg]

<p>Yes... Please spawn Moosh...   I have been logging on a couple times a day and checking the ANT & CL docks... TY!!</p><p>Also... sorry to highjack a thread but does anyone know how long it takes to copy a toon to test copy?  I did /beta add over a week ago for my 80 toons on Permafrost.</p>

[Lillaanya]

<p>you need to /test to go to test copy.  /beta copies them to the beta server not test</p>

[sandwarrior]

Mooshy come back! You can blame it all on me!

[Sceveth]

<p><span style="font-family: andale mono,times;">Moosh is gone once again lol. Could u please respawn him. I really wanna try out dirge see if i like </span><img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>We don't have anything on test right now that requires Moosh's presence.  Please let him have his vacation <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Trellium]

<p>I saw Moosh up. It was near the beach ... in Hawaii. Had a colorful shirt on, drinking a Pina Colada. I asked him to up me to 80, now I have grey hair and a hearing problem.</p>

[Sceveth]

<p>All i need him is for one day please. You can dispawn him like the next day i really need to try dirge out. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /><img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" />please</p>

[Ardan]

<p>Moosh needs too be up all the time so ppl can test new toons and give feedback</p>

[Sceveth]

<p>I agree i dont see why he needs to be taken away.</p>

[EQ2Magroo]

<p>I can't seem to find him anywhere. Why has he been taken away ?</p><p>The biggest overhaul to combat mechanics for years, and we have no way of testing it.

[Wintter-AntoniaBayle]

<p>I hate to be a pain, but I apparently missed Moosh when I was patching the test launcher and I'd like to try out Battlegrounds. Could you please beckon him away from his pina coladas in Hawaii so we can have some Battlegrounds goodness?</p>

[Belak]

<p>Personally i agree the buffer should always be up. The server gets wiped so nothing really harmful could happen of it.But ehh thats up to the Q/A's /Gm's Kiara you should get on more and give out phat loots! pvp gear ftw seeing as people are just PWNing the buffbotted people.</p><p>and can somebody (gm or anything) Log on and put my Character out of Gears of Klak'Anon it keeps happening!</p>

[Santander]

<p>Why does SOE spam live to ask us to test BG's and then not have Moosh up? How does such a simple disconnect happen? You want us to test it for you, but you don't give the players the means to do so. Does anyone at SOE understand this basic flaw?</p>

[Reahov]

<p>Each time the server is updated or taken down for any reason, moosh despawns.  If he is not up, please don't hesitate to send me a PM or remind us on this thread as we will be monitoring it. </p><p>Thanks!</p>
