[Accepted] Test Server

#1 » Post by Kengur » 08 Feb 2015 21:06

I was today on test server and some people played there and they didnt get it that its truewow test server. I dont know if its possible, but you should make a switch to public server when someone changes realmlist.wtf or logges his account first time

Theres a chance that Truewow lost some Players because they didnt know they are on test server

Ye I was also wondering why test server is above the playing realm

I don't know why the public testing realm is above the actual realm but I'd assume it's the last server you've logged to. I don't really think we've lost that many players when literally everything points elsewhere... Status page,account manager, numerous announcements... The world welcome message being Public Testing Realm... The realm being named Public Testing Realm.. So on.. So forth...

However I'm thinking of limiting PTR access to players that got a level 80 character

It looks like we have 300 accounts that created a character at the PTR but not at the live server. So they joined and then left again as I can see from their last login, apparently some people just aren't that smart... We should indeed require players to already have a character before they can log on the PTR.

I'll work on this at some point, it'll probably require some work but I'll eventually get something done after I'm over with all the other assignments I still have pending. Marking this as a pending suggestion for the time being.

I'm thinking of something like

Now, I could make it unlock automatically once they reach level 80... or not. I'm thinking I won't, that way it'll ensure the ones logging there know what they're doing.

This seems to be rather simple than I had thought so I'll get it done tomorrow.

The Public Testing Realm might have a downtime while I test this.

This is live. You must unlock access to the Public Testing Realm at the account manager. Otherwise it'll just show as offline.
