    Public Test Server

    Would there be any way to possibly open up Atomos (Official Test Server) to the public. I myself would like to help out find bugs and exploits!

    Plus it'd be a break from the normal gameplay. Testing out new features and what not.

    Re: Public Test Server

    One of the many ideas SE should take from WoW. Giving people a 10-20 day preview on a test server would be awesome.

        Yeah keep WoW out of any FFXI questions..mostly because FFXI came before WoW anyway..

        It would be cool, but then the random jerk/idiot who gets his giggles from hacking FFXI would find ways to mess that up -.-

          Eh, if SE did that then it would just cause problems, seeing things before they come out, and exploiting them, not to mention having to add a LOT to client software to make it work, most likely having to update clients every day... no thanks.

            No one said everyone was going to do it -.- And it doesn't have to be Atomos they could make 1-2 new test servers to test out stuff thats not conceptual.

              Well, think about it.

              SE adds a new NM.


              They test it and test it, and finally decide where to place it.


              Now instead of a bunch of people looking for it, everyone logs out their main character there.


              SE obviously is able to handle testing by themselves, and I see no reason to put players into testing roles.

                It's not like if they make a "PUBLIC" Test Server they'd release stuff like that anyways. I mean it only takes a few days to find a new NM regardless.

                A PTS would be fine for testing skills and balancing out mobs. They could do the more fragile testing on Atomos.

                  EQ2 has a test server like that as well. It actually works out rather well to clue the Devs in on what works and what doesn't. I think it's a good idea, personally.
