Advanced Test Server Up for Pre Order Code Holders

[cerest]

Couple of questions I have regarding the ATS:
1. Do they have character wipes?
2. Is it one server for all communties?


I really like having the Beta gang allowed to gather in one place. Good job here Nevrax.

Yes there are character wipes ( unfortunately) but this is because it's the test server.

And there is only one ATS, so there may be people from other countries on the server the same time you are.

I don't understand why the test server is only available to those that pre-ordered. It seems to me that Nevrax would want as many people as possible to play on that server. Restricting it to a subsection of the community seems counter-productive. :/

We're using the pre-order code holders as a sort of "focus beta testing" for the first patch. I don't see how this would be counter-productive, especially as they will be reporting any bugs that come along so that it won't end up on the live Windermeer server. This way you won't have to deal with them.

Thanks for enabling the bug report tools, eating the patch notes now so I know what to break.

Please wipe somewhat often and more importantly introduce a way to copy characters over from the live servers to the test server. Many MMO's with public/semipublic test servers say wipes are possible but basically never do. While nothaving wipes on the test server isn't a bad thing in itself, the lack of ability to copy yourself and equipment over to it eventually creates a place that is hostile to folks just wanting to test impending changes to their 'class' since they get flak from the long time testers and are thrown into a place where they need to get equipment, possibly someone to help them get it, someone to make it for them, possibly someone to help them buff into it, etc...

I did everything as directed and it gave me error code 53: You cannot use the Ryzom client live_test

- N

does the test server not work with retail app.if not what a rip off for pre orderers...also sounds like a pain in the ass to set up... my 2 cents

It took less than 5 minutes (four was copying the data)...simple as could be.

You could simply add that line to the retail copy sure but then you would ONLY be able to play on the test server. With char wipes, would you really want to do that?

I made a copy.

Double checked, made sure my Pre-order code was in and accepted to my account (silly EBGames sent it via Email 3 days AFTER I got my game)

Added the line
Application = { "ryzom_livetest", "./client_ryzom_rd.exe", "./" };

And get an error 53 that I cant use the client application "ryzom_livetest"

Yeah I'm getting this error code as well.

Error: you can't use the client application 'ryzom_livetest' (error code 53)

I did add my preorder code after I had already registered, so many that's causing the problem...

Just troubleshooting here. Does the pre-order code you received from EB contain 20 characters? I know there was a problem with the codes they originally sent out.
