6.15.2010: The test server was broken. The same day, it was promised to be back up by the following day as they possibly knew what the cause of the problem was.
6.18.2010: The test server is still broken and there is still no response from CCP on a time frame to get this fixed. The alliance tourney is this weekend and there is still testing that needs to be done. Is the test server going to be fixed or not?
You guys are ignoring the threads in the test server forums so hopefully this gets your attention as CCP stated the Petitions will be ignored. If you think you know what the problem is, fix it already instead of saying it will be fixed "tomorrow" and delaying it 3/4 days.

You have absolutely no right anywhere to have access to the test server. It is a privilege given to the player base by CCP.
See it as a free cookie. Most of the times it works, sometimes it don't. Keep annoying CCP about this and they just might even take the free cookie away.
Just wait, relax. They are aware of it, no need to go OMGWTFBBQCCP!!!!

The test server is not intended to be used to reduce the risks central to Eve on TQ, but rather to help find bugs and test new game content. It should be down more often to be honest. Fewer players taking risk on TQ makes for a less interesting game for all.

Since most of the testing is done by players it's kinda weird that you think CCP might revoke the public access to it.
OTOH bugs reported on SISI usually do make it to TQ so it wouldn't hurt much I guess...

What you've got is simply an unfortunate timing with a holiday, internal things and a weekend colliding in short succession. All that aside, the test server is for us to test stuff on; certainly we do ask for player assistance and when received we're very appreciative, but the server exists to allow us to do what we want, and if that means leaving a broken build on the server then we will leave one there. Perhaps there's some crucial cure-all-lag fix in there that we're testing

This schizophrenic "please come to the test server and test with/for us" and "if we decide to leave the server broken we will leave it broken" is really great.
Go take your test server and ***************.

That's all we wanted was some sort of timeline and a clue to what exactly was going on, Thanks. Updates on this would be appreciated.

Not only is there no mass testing going on right now, but it is to your benefit as well to help with mass testing. So this is really not a good point at all.
Finally, that simply proves that the server is for CCP testing, and not for whatever it is you want it for.

You might realize this is not the best way to convince someone to spend 2-3 hours on the test server doing what a CCP guy wants them to do... or maybe you don't.

And you might realize that sometimes "some players want to test some fits on the test server" is not the most important thing there is. The exact nature of that means it is prone to unexplained downtime, game breaking bugs, and other issues making it unavailable for chunks of time. If you don't understand that then I sincerely doubt you'd be much use in a test anyway. Never, is test server uptime, or it being public guaranteed.

You are correct we have no "right" to be on the test server but history has shown that tourney testing is what players (the people that pay your salary) use it for from time to time. Not fixing it and saying "meh, not like we had to!" just proves that you are pretty far out of touch with whats important for a small but significant niche of the players. If a big alliance loses unexpectdely its because "CCP didn't fix the test server" which fairly or not, reflects badly on you.
Face it, in another thread a CCP employee said the cause was isolated and its a pretty quick fix. The fact that you (CCP) cba to do it doesn't reflect well on either your professionality or on your customer service. Anyway, rant off. Your server, you can do what you want. Message received.

I don't think anybody is really ranting about this. It's just that CCP have given us some shiny new toys to play with & we can't get into them.
If the main server don't work & is sometimes broken with lag & other issues do players sometimes want to move to the test server for some respite? Yes it is for testing but it don't inspire confidence when the most basic right click wont work & it takes days to fix that "little" issue.

Maybe you should join one of these tests. Then you could see that there are no requirements whatsoever: just be there with a ship and do as you're told. BTW, what kind of relation do you see between thinking the test server should not be broken for a week and being able to help in a mass test with 200+ people?
If everyone only keeps on insisting what they don't have to do then this will end in no one doing anything and guess who wants to earn a living with this.

With the number of players that think that access to Sisi comes with their paid subscription and the child-like behavior they exhibit when they don't get it, it is nice that the Devs put them in their place from time to time.
Most of the time the Devs are too nice for their own good, in my opinion.

At the end of the day its only the 'Test Server' so it aint that important so dont have a cow about it. Personally I only use the test server when there aint much happening so dont get so angry about it its only a game.

Well, I think everybody can understand that. But, in this case, act like a real DEV team and tell us the truth. Like "We are doing something on test server and all of you players are interfering so we want you out of SISI for a while".
Otherwise you are acting like politicians.

bottom line its a test server, and to be fair.. if your alliance needs to practice this bad at this stage of the tury.. then you guys don't normally fly with one another and probably wont stand a chance. I don't mean to be rude but the test server has always been around for testing and we as a player base get to take advantage of that and have some free pvp learn'n hands on kinda fun. But no one here other then CCP really knows what is going on and just because you can't "Practice" is no reason to put the breaks on an entire plan to help you out. Again the major factor here being were near the end of the tury and i can't help but feel that lack of practice on SISI will not be your down fall. We are all watching the vids of the current matches and lets face it some folks in there know what they are doing before they even got there
and if you check out their alliance stats , track records, mixed with the active members of the teams you can clearly see some groups that have been flying with one another for a long time
and others who just got togather to be in the tury, so if your a pick up group in a turny you should expect what you put in.
so much crying online about this and it just seems to dumb, eemm... TEST SERVER!!! .. really shouldn't have to say more then that.. USER VS OWNER.. who do think knows more about the bigger picture...
the fact that a CCP member was trying to be an adult and honest with you guys about why things were bad in timing and other real life issues..and most of you jump on his a$$ about it without at least being appreciative that they responded (something they don't have to do in any timely manor what so ever) do any of you guys get special time off from your real jobs because of a eve online tury??
do you think its fair to make them work harder because your not prepared at this stage of everything.. suck it up if practice is what you need that badly then maybe you should't be in the tury as it is.

You're absolutely right.
I mean, it's not like alliances would need to test new setups that they've just thought of, would they?
No, that's silly talk. Why would they need to test setups? They can just imagine if they work or not in their heads!
