<p>Everything goes on test before going to live whether or not people chose to test it.  They don't just ninja post things into the game usually.</p>

<p>SOE really need to hire a whole bunch of players to actually test stuff, free subscriptions and SC/LoN perks would be fair payment.  Do It!!</p>

<p>Microsoft pioneered the pay to test model when it launched windows, SOE is just following suite.  We pay to test there products to make them better. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I dont get on test as much as I should but I do enjoy checking out the new changes to the game and trying out the quests. They should offer some more incentives. I know on the normal test server that doesnt get wiped you earn more XP. I wouldnt want to see them give out a free subscription unless it were to an account flagged as test only and maybe beta. What would stop a person from logging in for 30 mins a week to get free game play. I think maybe set it up so that people that normally play on either one can get something like the AA Pots from the facebook game. Just require X hours a week of playtime on test or test copy server. Maybe have them show that they are doing quests to test suff.</p>
