In the timeline it said were we going to get a test server to try out new patchs before they were released. SE still planning on having one or what?

500 thousandth post on this subject. The test server will be available after this update for testing the next one most likely.

Japan had an earthquake, Tsunami, power outages and possible large scale radiation contamination due to nuclear power plant meltdown concerns during which a lot of the time the company wasn't running due to no magic juice we call electricity.

Give em a chance to get their priority items done first. They are still behind schedule.

Why do they need another test server? They got 16 or 17 right now they've been using for 10 years.

In Sendai maybe, luckilly there's no big international corperations there. It's highly unlikely that SE's buisness decisions were based off this earthquake.

A the earth quake had a major effect on all of japan , B. the spare servers they had previously shut down were used to host 14 ,C 10-1 youll have to restart from scratch to play on the test server.... there will more then likely be wipes of data your game will crash etc , sounds fun to have everything first on paper until you realize you have nothing you used to.
