Posts: 85 Advanced Test Server Up for Pre Order Code Holders

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For our faithful Homins who pre-ordered the game and have a code in-hand we have a little treat for you. You're now allowed to enter the Advanced Test Server. The ATS is where we try out all of the paches and bug fixes before they go live.

In order to access the server, please follow these instructions:

* Copy your Saga Of Ryzom client to a different directory.

* Open up your test client's "client.cfg" file with notepad and add the following line:

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

Start up the test client and log in normally. Your client will automatically patch to the current test version.

We apologize but only current registered players with their pre-order code entered into the system may join the ATS.
You can enter your pre-order code here: https://secure.nevrax.com/payment_profile/

Please note that there will be NO GM support for this server.

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"

umm ... bump?

Looking for a fix to this please ....

Based on your no access error and what I have read on the other posts on this topic, you either entered and invalid code or are just one of the folks that has yet to be added to that servers list. I think they are gathering up the names of folks this happened to and are working it... check the other similar threads and stickies, there may be an email address you can use as well.

My code is just fine, but I will look through the other threads once more.

Aye , same here, there was no problem with the site accepting my code, and even if I wanted to change it I cant. It doesn't let you once it is accepted .

Only thing I can think that possibly messed anything up is that I GOT the code in my Email from EB games 3 days AFTER I received the game and started playing ... haven't received the ingame item on the character I had been using or the one I logged in for the 1st time "after" I had entered the code.

The item isn't a biggy, but to see and test things new to see if they will work into the game... that I like.

Maybe I'm out of the loop or something, yet I haven't the fondest idea why only "pre-order" would be invited to the test server. This is crazy, you want to test the patches, yet limit yourself to those whom can test? Effectively over time limiting those whom will be testing the content.

Not to mention, this is a test server, and if following suit with any other MMOG's test servers, these are open to any sort of adjustment. That being any adjustment to player characters including character deletion if required by testing.

Those players testing on this server are doing you a favor! Not the other way around. In the mean time, those of us not pre-order, are testing for the first month at 44.95 & 14.95 each additional month.

Please don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy the game. It is however this type of attitude that reduces productive & quality testing for the rest of the gaming community. I certainly hope this decision will be reconsidered.

Thank You.

ummm .... BUMP !!!

Excuse me ... but is a Dev EVER going to respond to this issue?

After all, only asking for what was stated by SoR when pre-purchasing.

and far as I can see on my registration ...

"Account events
Event Id Date Description
4581 September 23 2004 Ryzom registration with the first month free
6221 September 26 2004 Special coupon for preorders "

Everthing looks in order except the error message when I try to log into the test server.

Hello,

I can help out here.

I checked the situation and the server is currently not available as we are doing to internal testing on the first major patch. Once we have done some internal testing, we can open the server once again.

The ATS (Advanced Test Server) will not be open 24 hours a day and does not have any standard customer service support. However, it would have been good to make sure you guys knew you weren't going crazy and tell you it is actually not up right now. Sorry about that.

Regards,
