About 2 months ago I moved to the test server for personal reasons where I have been very happy (this has nothing to do with the community on the main, I love everyone there, really). I have made the test server my home and my char (CitizenMyths) is now lvl 93. I have explored most of the new maps and have some of the new armors, teleportation scroll, pirate shield, etc. I am asking all devs/dms if you need anything tested or a players opinion on something please please use me. I would really love to help. I am currently between jobs which means I am on the test server all the time until I find a new one. So I am easy to contact and have the time to do WHATEVER a dev/dm might need me to help with on the test server.

Lastly, I know all of you are very busy so if/when one of you has some free time I have a request. The only problem with the test server is 95% of the time I am alone. Unlike the main server there are no other characters to buy items from or get hints from for where to search out artifacts. There is only one artifact I would like which I bought and my char Myths has on the main server…A koatw. There is no reason why I should be given this item even on the test server but I would like to propose that I be allowed to buy it. If a dev or dm sees me on the test server I have saved up almost 2 miths that I would like to use to buy this as I would if I was on the main. Everything else I want I will find with time like I did on the main.

Thank you and I hope I can be used to contribute to the game in some small way.
I hope to hear from one of you soon,
Myths
Ps. I am unable to get on the test server today, is it down?

Good stuff, myths.

I have lots of stuff which will need testing RSN (maps and quests, and server features) but unfortunately currently the test server is in a bit of a state of forced limbo.

That said, I believe Grommit would be pleased to have his Loneworld revisit thoroughly playtested.

As for the koatw, I'll happily /create one for you, but I have no idea what a koatw is! Smiley

I have also spent a bit of time in the test server recently, and have been thinking a long Myths lines-
 that if the dev team were to post specific areas that they were interested in having people test out-maps that were getting close to completion, new mobs that needed fine tuning etc. that I would spend more time in the test server (it's kind of fun for some one whose lvl 110 in the main server to have un-explored areas to wander).
Basically what I'm saying is that perhaps a note on the opning page of the web site guiding people to various areas of the test server would be fun for players and useful to the dev team.

first off it's kaotw, the A comes before the O and it's full name is "killrin armor of the warrior" known on main server as KAoTW Smiley

Thank you very much Smacky I really appreciate this. This game has given me a lot of pleasure for a long time and since it is free it is important to me that I contribute in some way. I am going to go visit family for 5 days but when I am back I will be all yours to do whatever will help. As you suggested I will spend some time on Grommits map until you give me my first official task. (I've been mostly on Uni's, Cleo's, Sherocks, Mysteria's, and was a captive audience (literaly) on Grunts for a day toungue )
As I said in my first post I am between jobs and nothing ever happens in France in August which means I am going to have an abundance of free time for the next month...So anything I can do no matter how mundane will be welcomed and hopefully it will make your job a little easier.

Thank you for the correction Zaurbock, I have a horrible habit of always putting the O before the A but it is vice-versa.
I hope to see you on the test server Zrubavel, it is always more fun with someone you know.
Take care and see everyone in a week.

This is more or less what is meant to happen now. Some time ago I made it so that map wizards (and now map masters and devs) can sticky/unsticky threads in this board:
Quote
MW can now post stickies and create polls (only MW can do this). Try not to overuse this or it won't work. The idea is that you manage your thread -- so if you have some spiffy new feature which you want tested you sticky it, and when it is old and boring you edit your post and unsticky it. Don't sticky every thread you start. Wink
Unfortunately the idea has never taken off, and for the dev/map master side of things, the current block on server development has (temporarily, but long temporarily) killed development entirely. Sad

One of the map wizard's map sets were bugged, and kept killing the server. So I've notified him of what needs to be fixed, how, and why, and restarted the server with access to his maps temporarily disabled until the issue is fixed.

Just to clarify: Loneworld is (almost) entirely Sammy's - I have just been tweaking them to get them ready for the mainstream. Tweaking (mainly Mahewa) is not yet finished and I have been too busy to work on completing them lately. Hope to get back soon.

I have also modified Sammy's lobby, so that if you enter the maps from there, you will go to my version.

You can also enter Loneworld from my lobby, and also my own maps, such as Tetranesia (the islands) which you are welcome to explore.

Myths: I greatly appreciate your offer of helping to test the new content. I don't really have anything that needs testing right now, but i'm sure Lippy would like some testing to his newest dungeon--and you'll get a kick out of doing it too! Smiley

Cheers,

For the sake of not giving away any map makers surprises i'm not going to say to much about my adventures on the test server in the past few days-but I will say this-
Lippy- I died quickly  happy
Uni- I left u a gift in your item testing room  Angel
Grommit- I could not stop laughing  laugh
