Clarification on Pendragon (Test Server) Policy

Posted By: Jeff Hickman 2001-12-14 16:39:09

We wanted to post a short message clarifying some issues about Pendragon, the Test Server. Hopefully this will clear up some issues that have arisen, and answer some questions about how we utilize the test server to make DAoC better for everyone. 1. We use ONLY the test server for testing. We do NOT ever test on the live servers. 2. We may do any number of things to characters on the test server, to help facilitate our testing. This includes bumping levels, giving skills, making items, and any number of other things that will help us to test certain aspects of the game. 3. There may be times when a character is increased in levels for testing purposes. When this happens, we will always try to de-level the character back to it’s original state, once the testing is complete. 4. We may at anytime ask others to help us with testing. If this interferes with anyone’s play time, please let us know and we will not bother you with special testing requests. 5. We have many employees from Mythic that play on the test server. These employee characters do not have any special abilities, powers, etc… They are exactly like all other characters on the server. However, we often use our employees to test on this server, and they may level, de-level, and have generally strange things happening to them. We will always make our best effort to return these characters to the exact way they were before testing with them. 6. If asked directly about being a Mythic Employee, we will answer directly with an affirmative, in hopes of preventing any misunderstandings. Hopefully, this will clear up any issues or concerns that have arisen about Pendragon and how we utilize it to make DAoC a better game. Thanks! -Jeff
