19.12 RULES FOR USING A TEST SERVER
From time to time, we set up a mirror image of the game on an experimental
server. This is to isolate and test major features to some of the underlying
framework that runs Lusternia. Basically, we copy the entire game to a test
server and invite people to try and break things there. Once the test session
is complete, all data is wiped and you return to normal life in Lusternia. They
are completely isolated and things that happen on the test server remain there
(and are summarily wiped at the end of the test). So, if a test is announced,
feel free to partake, generally it's a free for all there are little to no
rules, but cooperation with the test is expected.
Outline of the rules:
1) The data/player files/etc is a copy and may be slightly out of date. Don't
complain about this please.
2) There are no admins watching, so please, behave. Anything that happens
during the test is NOT a valid reason to take retribution back in
Lusternia proper.
3) Any changes that take place during the test will be erased when the copy
is discarded. Nothing will transfer back to Lusternia.
4) No, we won't make you a guildmaster or give you uber-skills "just to
test".
5) The test server is generally a much slower machine, so there will be lag.
