tl;dr - I don't know much about the Test Servers but Here's some of my thoughts. (Freebies/Boosted Skills/Shopping Mall w/ EXIT to Testing Grounds)
I am not sure if this is even in the right spot. Please bear with me on this.
I have yet to do anything on the Test Server and would love to help out but wouldn't it make a lot of sense for you to have some "preset" missions that players could do to get an accelerated Learning ability or an automatic 10million SP given as a 1 time deal / give players missions to do to get ships / modules "Dead Space Pockets" that way it's harder to scan down and not all players are bumping into the same missions?
I don't know who / where i should send this suggestion to. However if the Test Server was less focused on the skills that the players have on TQ and more on trying to give all players a chance to get into the SiSi Tests with decent setups. Especially for Fleet Warfare.
It might get more people interested to be able to go in and get boosted to a level that makes the game more interesting. Such as an automatic 10million SP - Would allow Pilots to get tech 2 guns and bring tech 2 ships to the fight as well as allow them to build up to a certain aspect of the game.
or given players current skill points "with the boosts of 2mil SP here and there" give out ships / mods for next to nil?
You have the ability to Place Wormholes / Portals to Specific Points in Space why not place some of these "Hidden ones on the test servers and allow players to warp into them and pick up what ever they need for the tests "48 hours total on the test server with a roll back expected"
24 Hours before the Event Starts you could open Wormholes in Major Hubs throughout the Test Server and have one of the Wormholes that are Leading out be Marked as EXIT to the Testing Grounds. Once Players get their ships all fitted they'll be poof right there where you need them. It'll also allow for the splitting up of players into fleets and give people a place to converse about what they should be bringing into the fight. |

Later than 20:00 UTC (=eve-time) is quite difficult for us, as most EVE devs are located in Reykjavik, Iceland. But we will keep this in mind and perhaps we can have some mass-tests again with the help from our office in Atlanta.[quote=CCP Habakuk][
Thank you DeadNite! I've been wanting this too. Darn bankers hours!!! lol I know there are test server things on the weekend sometimes but those times are usually filled with much needed pvp or other EVE functions.
Coordinating with Atlanta sounds like an excellent solution!

Hey just out of curiosity, how long do these mass tests take? I just finally got onto Singularity last night and plan on getting on it every once in awhile to test out fits and such before I use them (especially since I may be heading out to low/null for a long period for the first time soon)
I want to try and make it to this mass test for the SP bonus on singularity but I just don't know if I'll have time since I'll be working :P
So how long would you guys say they take? |

Is it on Duality or Singularity? http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4768&tid=1 says singularity but this thread says duality. |

Guys,
You have to be more clear when you set a test to be held on Duality instead of Singularity, and doublecheck your texts. It doesn't help that the SisiLaucher tool is mentioned everywhere, it should be called "TestLauncher" or something.
If you expect to get over 500 participants to get ready and patch for something like this, get your announcements right please. I'll be there (if I manage to patch for the correct server).

Duality in Duality is password only. That I dont understand.
Things seem FAR too unorganized for this test. Half the people are going to show up on sisi to just then learn that they need to go on Duality and a 1+ gig patch.
Love the look of the new Captains quarters in Duality tho. And the icons from going in and out. |

Looks like I'll be missing this one, spent some time on sisi earlier getting ships fitted up and ready to go, only just found out it is on Duality so now waiting on a 5.32gb download at 750kb/sec
It seems i am not the only one to not realise this was happening on duality, there was still people on sisi asking how to get moved etc so i guess they won't be taking part either.
Hope it all goes well, A little more clarity next time would be good please CCP. |

Yeah, I'm trying to get updated and logged in now. Just got home from work (Left early to attempt to get things set up). Is unfortunate they couldn't release the patch for Duality this morning or last night. |

Yep CCP please make it woth some more for testing, I mean, 2 M SP on Singularity is a waste after all.
For players who play & test for you on Singularity frequently, the SP reward will be lost after the next mirror.
Would be a good sign to really put the reward on Tranquiity Acc`s. Better to lose them there by dying in an pod without an upgraded clone than getting it deleted by a mirror.
That will help players who are rather new capsulers to boost ther character a little.
I hope i could persuade you guys...

The SP from the last 5 tests is carried over each mirror. |

The next mass-test is now planned for this Thursday at 20:00 UTC. This time we will be using Singularity and we will testing the latest fixes to Time Dilation to make sure, that Time Dilation is really ready for being used on Tranquility for fleet-fights!
Bring your friends, corps and alliances to really stress the server and Time Dilation! Contact me on Sisi or per EVEmail, if you are a FC / alliance leader and plan to show up with a whole fleet.
See you on Thursday on Sisi! CCP Habakuk | EVE Quality Assurance

O.o being im an old goat dont help as well....lol ill see if any of my alliance want to come but they dont like loseing there sp all the time so they may not even come here anymore, but ill check. |

Thank you all, who participated in this mass-test! We had well over 600 players at the same time in a system (and over 800 on the server) and yes - we strained our poor test-server quite a bit.
On the bad side we experienced again some problems related to Time Dilation, which caused for a few players problems with their shield and armor display in the HUD. We expected, that we managed to fix this in the last days - but the mass-test showed, that we need to take another look at it. We will post more info, as soon as we have analyzed it better and we will probably schedule another mass-test (on next Thursday?) before we feel confident enough to enable Time Dilation on Tranquility.

GÇóAll participants of the mass test will get 2 million free skillpoints on Singularity as small reward
I am a noob... after reading it again.. not sure what the point is of getting 2mil SP for the test server?
It was fun but not sure I am going to do it again if no reward on the main server.

SP on TQ would be game breaking... SP on Sisi lets you jump ahead a few months with your training and try different paths without consequence.... That's pretty much the beginning and end of the reward. If you don't want to help make the game better and see how it changes, your loss.
