Should BigPoint use the test server as a trial for merging the servers?

  1. YES, I will bring my best ship, I am tired of "fighting" NPCs!!!

  1. Bigpoint--if you want to see how much interest and income could be generated by merging the servers, make the test server the trial test

    Anyone who logs into the test server will populate there with the last ship they used on their own server. Can only have one ship for the test server "merge trial", but anyone from any other servers can come and play against each other there. You don't even need to have NPCs there.

    If Bigpoint announces that the test server is going to be used to test the possibility of a merger------------ anyone who is still active plus any of their former guildmates who have since quit the game will come back in and start playing again.

    This could be totally awesome.

    well i have a better idea
    open the test server
    and ask people if they want to move there
    the people that will say yes they can have their account cloned to the test server, so when the testign finish nothing will actual happen to the normal account because ti will be intact in its normal server

    this way the cloning, bigpoint will test how to migrate the accounts from one server to another without loosing things, ships, diamonds, items. also if you are the admiral of a guild you can ask to migrate your guild, so you can have your guild with 4 letters, the original 3 and the 4th inti gating from which server the guild originated, or maybe if the merge server goes alogn we start with fresh guilds???

    so bigpoint with the cloning process will use the test server to solve potential problems, and with the record of the company there will be many, the players will have a test environment to test , without effecting their account, and the company can see if there is interest or not in the merge. also it will be a great opportunity to get rid of all the fake ghost accounts they have. because the company is traped in their own numbers, 1.080.000 accounts on eu4 accounts is complete different thing from players bigpoint

    or advertise the game and bring people in the game

    you do realize test server is closed the majority of the year
    so i server that is not open is the same as a server that does nto exist

    and account in test server is not the same as your account in game
    and also you got some millions of diamonds so you can buy things in test server and test them??

    but test server is what it says its name is test, it was and it is not consider a server not playing there that you actuall play the game, you participate there to help the company find bugs so when they introduce new things it will be bug free.
     
  8. Anikhte---opening the test server to clone the original account is a VERY good idea, this way you can keep your account on your original server intact but can still fight other players on the test server. It would be like creating one HUGE arena server, but instead of limited to six players maximum in the arena, there would be only the limit that a normal server would have.

    When players can again play against each other and always find suitable human targets, they will come back. BP has a list of all players emails, send out a mass message that announces the test server opening for player to player combat. Even if a player has given up and left BP, they will come just to see if it is true and play one time to try it. If BP does this right, it will only take one time to re-hook them :)

    ...and whomever voted against this because they "liked solitude" needs to get off of their server and go play Farmville. :p
