Basically on Thursday 23rd of November we plan to put the revelations code branch onto TQ and test a few basic things.
Server startup (does the server start up correctly).
Market startup (does the market services start correctly).
Agent missions (is it possible to use agents as intended).
Session changes (can you jump between systems, lose your ship, swap ships etc).
These are some of the main problems we have everytime we do such a big patch. With the release of Dragon, the problems we had was that the server wouldnÆt start correctly and when that was fixed the **** market wouldnÆt start in all regions. With the tests we have planned, we hope to iron out these problems and catch them before we do the full release.
We have a battle plan in office exactly how we are going to do this. The server will remain closed, so only CCP personal can connect. The main reason for this is we only have a 10 min time frame, so we do not want any lag and we will not be using TQÆs database, we will be using SISIÆs. ItÆs not possible to use TQÆs database because it would mean updating it to the revelations code branch and that simply isnÆt possible as we need to revert TQ back to dragon.
Hopefully if all goes well we can do this on Thursday, Friday and Monday. We really hope we will find any problems we might have on the Thursday, Friday then have a stable test on the Monday and do more advanced tests after that. Helping to make deployment a smooth ride.
Normal operations of TQ will continue as normal. The cluster will be started at 11:45 and will allow connections about 12:00.
As a lot of you peeps have been around some time now, you will understand why we want and need to do this.
Spank You later |

Good luck finding all thouse bugs, though im sure you dont need it  . Sounds like a wise precaution after dragon problems.
- Thanks Hutch.

First thought: OMG!
This could be a very good way of making sure, that the patch-DT will pass without really big problems.
But: Can you promise, that you won¦t damage anything, which could prevent the startup under Dragon? This looks like a very dangerous experiment.

I t÷talhelldeathen approve of this innovation in patch deployment QA.
Here's to hoping you'll be able to wire everything back to proper TQ status after testing or things will get very interesting very quickly

If we can get a smooth Revelations deployment out of it, I wouldn't care if you were punching orphans and stomping puppies in downtime 
Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing.

Will this affect missions, will they be reset or something?
Or will everything be normal?

Good job! Finally CCP understand that to test new code on TQ is the ONLY way to find out problems BEFORE kali will hit TQ for real. Again, well done!

Sounds good. This problem prevention idea is good and I'm happy to see it. So this means it'll be more of a test and then revert with actual revelations launch as planned on the 28th then?

Let me see if I have this straight...
You'll be running these tests during the standard down-time periods, so that we can still play over the US Thanksgiving holiday.
I'm assuming that's what the "Normal operations of tranquility will continue as normal" means. |

Take your time, extend downtime for 30mins or so.
Most people at work so we wont notice.
Good luck.
