I played on test for more than a year. There are alot of great things about the server, and alot of cons.
PROS:
Not many people. You can get what you want , I never had problems with any camps.
Less idiots in general.
More contact with GM's/Testers. I routinely chatted with the near famous Ester the Tester alot, and several of the developers and lead GM's. Nice people all.
CONS:
Not many people. Forget an economy, forgetting using trade skills and making money with it. Not as immessive of an experience.
ALOT more down time, and they dont tell you when its dropping. They will drop the server out from under you anytime they want. We had drops during planes raids for an hour or more.
Bugs. It is a test server after all.
Guilds and folks on test tend to be SNOBS and ELITIEST. Im about the most laid back person in the world, but some of those smug assholes really got on my nerves....
You have to weigh it. I enjoyed the time I spent on test, but ultimately because of the type of gamer i am (more RP'ing), I would have enjoyed that time on a live server a bit more.
