Harmonic,
The problem is that 99.95 percent of the time NO PERSON on test knows
what to test. We aren't told the changes most of the time, and if something
is broke we dont know what to look for. We dont get a " ok we did this " now
go out and test to see if its stabe, exploitable, if it even works. We are
kept in the dark just as much as the rest of anyone else. And it is
unfortunate. I read a really great article to day over on the xrgaming
network about Asheron's Call's Dev team. Man i really wish that was a better
game...if EQ had AC's dev team we would have an awsome game and a much
better relationship between the customer and the MAN.

BTW about getting a character buffed to your present level on test? dont
hold your breath...they havent done anything like that since the population
explosion.
