The very same rules that exist on the Live servers also apply to Testlive. The same Rules of Conduct exist here, as do the same regulations regarding exploits. Please read the Exploits/Exploitable Bugs FAQ to better familiarize yourself. Should you encounter an exploit while testing and playing, we urge you to report it.

The Purpose

The Testlive Server is used for testing upcoming patches and other changes in the game before Funcom puts them on the live server (i.e. where the regular Anarchy Online game-world is running). Every member of the Testlive Community is encouraged to help out with testing new and existing content, provide bug reports and feedback--helping assist Funcom to make sure the updates arrive problem-free on the Live dimensions.

Anyone with an Anarchy Online subscription can play on this test server. There are, however, some important things to be aware of when using it: There is no Support staff working on this server, and Funcom cannot guarantee your characters' safety. Funcom may from time to time have to do "player wipes" (i.e. erasing all player characters from the server), and they may do things that cause weird results on this server - so consider yourself warned. This is, in fact, a permanent beta-test server.

The Economy

Testlive is a small community and does not have an economy like the Live servers do. Members of the Testlive Community give away items to players who are in need. If one is in need of an item, ask in the Social Channel if anyone might be able to help. Please be patient and understanding that you might not get the item you need. Also, when you have items which you would like to give away, please post those items in the Shopping Channel.

Global Channel

The Global Channel is to be used by Funcom and Bughunters for official test related business. Please use the Social Channel for chat.

Social Channel

No swearing, no derogatory attacks. Testlive is a small community and the Social Channel can be seen by all. Be courteous and considerate of others as what you say in Social Channel does effect others. When appropriate, please use vicinity, tells or team chat to communicate, to prevent the Social Channel from being spammed.

Shopping Channel

Testlive does not have an economy, and as such, the Test Community often offers up items to give away. The Shopping Channel is the appropriate channel to post items which you are giving away.

Towers/PvP

The Land Control Areas on Testlive serve the function of providing personal tower benefits and organizational advantages to the Test Community to better facilitate testing. As such, attacking towers and engaging in PvP without there being a need to test tower battles, and receiving consentual agreement first, is highly frowned upon. Please be considerate and thoughtful of others in this regard, and do not attack towers without having a need to test something specific to towers, and receiving prior consent and arrangement with the organization to whom those towers belong.
