Well, I hate to sound like a hard ass but, it has always been said since
day one that test is not a live server and be aware that your toon could
always be wiped. Anyone playing on there agreed to that. People are
supposed to be there to test the new patches, zones, items . . . what ever.
Not to "play" like people on the live servers do. Anyone on test should
have seen that it would one day come down to a p-wipe.
