Ok so once again something new comes out on the test server and Kainzo wants it tested. So about 15 people log in to start playing around with it and in less than 10 mins more than 1/2 of those people give up because of the mass spawn camping and stealing. Under these conditions it is nearly impossible to test the system to find flaws in it so that we can get the bugs fixed before it hits the Main server. This almost never happens at the moment because it is near impossible to test anything.

So in my opinion there should be some form of Rule put in place to allow for a good testing environment and with rules come consequences for breaking them. Such as banishment from the test server.

Perhaps if the test server's spawn was regioned and no-pvp. Everything would be fine.

I'm ok with stealing and killing on the test server, because definately the killing part needs to be tested.

But camping the spawn point for the whole map? Not cool.

If such a region can't be implemented, I think that (like mumble bans) just sitting there camping the spawn should give you a ban from just the test server. Since you obviously aren't testing anything.

That being said, if you build right by the spawn, don't complain when you get stolen from, on the 1.8 test my base was wayyyy far away,and it was fine :p but I agree we must end mindless spawn camping. It discourages would-be testers.

I endorse this wholeheartedly. If they're not there to test, then there's no purpose in them even being on the test server.

I yelled at dmil for this shit once, a region with no pvp would be helpful unless the testing is pvp related.

ugh. I remember one time on the 1.8 test server, he demolished the underground base I shared with 3 others and filled the entire thing, from entrance to bottom with Lava. I stopped testing for days after that from pure frustration. When people think they can get away with anything, they'll do... pretty much anything.

We'll just no-pvp the spawn, but dear god children - stop it!
Thank you :p
All I was is some semi decent testing conditions :p
