Test Copy Locked?

[Katz]

<p>Unfortunately I made all 7 toons on testcopy.  Now I can't delete one to be able to start a toon in Halas on test.  Any ETA on when testcopy will be available?</p>

[Morrias]

<p>Yup, running into the same problem here, I really dont even want the ones that are preventing me to playing, but theres no way to delete them with test_copy locked.. :s</p>

[Allforgrog]

<p>Same here for both myself and the GF. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Ok i stop now my testing, the server is not working since 1 week and i cant copie a toon to the test i have many times used the /testcopie add but no changes.</p><p>Sorry SOE i dont play a new toon to 90 on the test server to test things...</p>

[Naggasaki]

<p>Is there any way we could get an ETA on Test Copy being unlocked? I'm currently not able to check server status but it was still locked when I left for work. How are we supposed to 'test' GU56 on existing character makeup and gear if the server that allows this testing is 'locked' until the GU goes live.</p>

<p>still locked <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Cyliena]

<p>Still locked morning time EST, and copy requests are still not being copied over. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Test copy is still locked have the three toons I copied over there and no way to play them. why after saying they were to be switched back to PvE for the weekend did you lock them the whole weekend.</p>

[Naggasaki]

<p>Ok, so we were told to /testcopy add to come over and test the new 'stuffs'. But since I added my toon I have been waiting for the 'add' script to run. Now that it has run *i can see my character on character select on test copy* the server is locked. It is currently Monday, 26 April 2010, current time is 0826 Pacific Standard Time.</p><p>Wanna bet the GU56 goes to live in a week?</p>

[Gninja]

<p>Test_copy should now be unlocked!</p>

[Gaige]

<p>Now it says server down >.<</p>

[Child]

<p>it was up for about 5 minutes, EQ2CLIENT.EXE stopped working, now it says server down.</p><p>someone trip over the power cable?<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/499fd50bc713bfcdf2ab5a23c00c2d62.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Quick..someone give the hamster a Jolt cola and some chocolate covered coffee beans!!</p>

[asaron]

[Neskonlith]

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Any indication on when pvp will be enabled for testing on Test-copy?</span></p>

[Gninja]

<p>Likely later in the week right now raids are being tested so PvE is needed.</p>

[Rekno]

<p>Anyway of getting the buffer to buff us 90/250aa? and maybe some marks and seals, and 90 gear and enverted myth?</p>

[ScubaEtte]

<p>any word on the buffer to get to 90.  the one in TD is only buffing to 80</p>

[Kain-UK]

<p>The one in Darklight is also only doing level 80.</p>

[Nevao]

<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Test Copy is still showing locked for me. Is there some trick to "unlock" it, or is it really back down again?</span></p>

[Runelaron]

<p>Test copy locked again, think I broke it, Says im in The Halls of Fate Expi01 Sepulcher</p>

[Naggasaki]

<p>Well, I must say I am amused. I woke up, checked the forums....'test copy is up and unlocked'.....YAAAAY!</p><p>Log in to 'character select for test copy' and lo and behold...it's available...but I never got a chance to zone into the world....after 4 minutes of 'recieving zone resources' i got kicked to CS and ... guess what....server locked. I sure am glad whatever you pushed to test copy isn't on live right now.</p>

[Gninja]

<p>It is back up and unlocked.</p>

[asaron]

<p>I still dont understand how we cant test pvp stuff while the bluebies test there raid stuff  are you afraid of the lagg that would happen fear not it could never compare to the lagg we have felt daily on nagafen due to your commodore servers from the 60's.</p>

[Lodrelhai]

<p>1) Getting raids together is already difficult since Testcopy has a small population.  Enabling PVP at the same time further limits the capacity because of alignment</p><p>2) Most raid guilds who are best suited to copying over and testing the raid content are of mixed alignment. PVP immediately cripples their effectiveness.</p>

<p><cite>Gninja wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>It is back up and unlocked.</p></blockquote><p>It's 12:50 EST (9:50 SOE time) on Tuesday (well, Wed. morning for me) . . . Test Copy still locked . . . /shrug</p>

[Child]

<p>yup...... locked again</p>

[Mayve]

<p>Yeah good news is my toon got copied over bad news is server currently locked.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/0320a00cb4bb5629ab9fc2bc1fcc4e9e.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Ashlian]

<p>Glad to know everyone, whether PVE or PVP, will be able to THOROUGHLY beta test the new content before release. During the ten or fifteen minutes each day when the stars align correctly, because I think most of us have not yet discovered the magic login formula we need to make it onto Testcopy to actually test anything. Wait, was I supposed to click my ruby slippers two times or THREE times? There's no place like Halas.....there's no place like Halas......</p>

[Catria]

<p>.... still locked.... sigh</p>

[Rocc]

<p>Wow it's STILL locked! I give up. No more testing.</p>

[Nevao]

<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Just checked at 6:43 EST and it's still locked. I think I've been able to get into Test Copy twice since they were first patched.</span></p>

[Kinvore]

<p>Still locked.  ETA on unlocking, and will it stick this time?</p>

[Kain-UK]

<p>Still locked here too...</p><p>I managed to get on for about 3 hours last night (which involved camping the server to get on in the first place) and it locked as soon as I logged off...</p>

[Jesdyr]

<p>Was locked for me lastnight as well ..</p>

[Khiara]

<p>Wow...locked AGAIN?  ....mebbe I gave the hamster too MUCH Jolt cola and chocolate covered coffee beans...my bad guys ><</p>

[FireKat]

<p>ya seems to have been locked all night no idea what for =(</p>

[Kreton]

<p>Can we please get test copy unlocked.  It was locked all weekend and it's been locked since last night's patch.  It seems to stay locked more than it is unlocked.</p>

[Khiara]

<p>Per Gninja...it's having "issues" and will stay locked til said "issues" are fixed <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Thanks G <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Child]

<p>i wasn't able to get on it all last night because it was locked, finally got a break in my job, thought i'd sneak in some eq2.</p><p>i was on for 5 minutes, kicked to login screen, and now it's offline/locked again.</p><p>what's with the extreme unstability of test-copy lately?</p>

[Blaidd]

<p>Finally got a character to test and since then its always locked. Not been able to do any testing on this character at all. I assume its not normally always down?</p>

Sometime during Omega testing by the live server populace.</p>

[asaron]

<p>been live beta testing for 5+ years this is gettin old  they beg us to test for them but cant keep the server up  then rarely listen to feedback and push buggy  patches or expansions with little thought in them to live happens every time  EVERY! and for the love of norrath you bluebies please by all means test the raid trash if and when they ever get test sorted out so we can test the pvp stuff  far too often pvp updates are not tested and pushed live for the simple fact test is rarely pvp enabled</p>

[Skiy]

<p>So far Test Copy seems to be back up for now</p>
