The game will be reset every few months though. I was just thinking about what the test server actually is... is it like an offline place? do you get acsess to all ships because it is reset every few months or when ever? is it just like a big playground while your waiting for skills/deciding weather or not you want to go omega on the actual server?

Public test server: Singularity The public test server, Singularity (or Sisi), is open to all players. Its purpose is to try out new features - normally the next major patch for Tranquility will be tested on this server. Character information is replicated (=mirrored) to the Singularity server every few months, but keep in mind that if your account got created after the last replication, you will not be able to access the server. Gameplay mechanics and playing environments may be quite different from what you're used to on Tranquility. Here, the world is constantly changing.

Singularity (Sisi) is a public test server for EVE Online that is used by both CCP developers and EVE players to test changes and new features before they are released to the Tranquility server. Test servers have a very strict set of rules. Its primary function is to provide a test environment as close as possible to the live environment of Tranquility. For this purpose, the Tranquility database is "mirrored" (copied) over to the Singularity server once every few months (or more often, if needed by the CCP Quality Assurance department). For testing the performance of the server and client with many players at the same place (especially fleet-fights) there are periodical mass testing events.
The Test server doesn't sound too bad, definitely sounds great for making vids and writing up guides.

Oh man, I remember that from years and years ago.
Thanks for linking it. Definitely bookmarked for nostalgic reasons.

By the way, just wanted to say I like the OP's idea, especially since I'm a PvE player.
Being an explorer / mission runner I choose to play solo against NPC's. I enjoy it and don't really need to engage with other players. Now don't get me wrong, I like the aspect of having other players online with me in the Eve universe. However I definitely don't need some wanna be PvP player come in and steal my loot in an attempt to get me to attack him. Also don't need some wanna be PvP player try to suicide gank me while I'm slowboating my way to the gate during a multiple jump route.
Despite those annoying nuisances I play this game for 2 reasons,
1 - I haven't found another space game that's comparable to Eve
2 - I haven't bothered looking for a space game that's comparable to Eve

DMC And what is the reason you don't just play on the test server where you can have that?
Basically the answer is what Brenton Darnbrough posted above.
Just to clarify, I didn't find out about the test server Singularity until after I had been playing on Tranquility for a couple of years. At that time I had started working on the Faction Standing Repair Plan, aka 'The Plan', which I contributed to the Eve Community and needed to show players my in-game progress. I also became active in creating and editing pages for Evelopedia and Eve Survival.
Main point is since Singularity is a mirror of Tranquility and gets reset every 3 months or sooner, all character progress would be erased. Obviously players need to first develop their characters in Tranquility and then use Singularity to test anything of question. And as I said earlier in this thread, the test server is great for gathering info to create PvE walkthrough guides.
