The test server is more fun than the real game.

Reason no one does voidwatch like they 'should' is because it's a horrible reward system. It has decent stuff, but quite honestly, compared to what Abyssea offered, it's no secret why VW is done by only a select few.

Thus why the 95 Emp trials will no doubt require 100-180 VW II items.

you know what i love about this post ... the fact dat mining has already found the next empy path takes 1500 of an item no ones found yet.

Actually, the Magian Moogles share that information on the test-server. ^^;

Though I can't know where other players get their information; it might be just as you suspect but yeah, more and less of this information is freely available for view on the test-server without any kind of 'reverse engineering' and the requirements may very well be changed before release still.


As for the test-server in general... I don't really find it more fun than the regular game-play but then again, I've been doing similar testing and otherwise helping on different games so it's not exactly all that exciting for me, meaning that the fun of it will die down, especially if that is the only thing it is for you.

It is, after all, not for a joy-ride but for testing and while I am sure they want people to have fun too, it is more than likely not why it is open for us.

I'm not exactly sure of the woes of the subject, as being able to get the items and job levels as well as skill levels up is particularly helpful for testing; it is not how they intend the game to be for you but rather to make it possible for more people to test more things instead of limiting to what they have attained on the regular servers.


The game itself is in kind of a transition period and only when the level limit of 99 will be here, will things settle down a bit though I'm not saying the game is going to be stopping there, of course, but it is a little bit awkward for the time being.


This might be the first thread where I post in without reading each and every post so I'm sorry if I'm repeating something that someone else already has said but seeing the amount of bickering and whatnot...

At least remember to have some fun while you're at it!
Kind Regards,
