Just ONCE, I would like to try out flying EVERYTHING available in eve online.
It would be nice to have all the skills for ONE day on the test server only, and use some of those mods that I will never be able to afford on TQ.

So many features are unavailable to the majority of the playerbase due to ISK or amount of training time involved to use properly.
Try before you buy etc etc.


i think it would be cool for there to be a event once per year where every one goes wild and just dicks around with the devs. A end of the year type thing with some sort of requirement for being chosen. would be hard to make sure a person isnt selected twice though since there are so many ******* alts.

unfortunately the two posts above are right but at the same time you have already missed out. There was a time not to long ago when all characters on sisi had all 5 stats and all ships (literally all ships) in eve were seeded.


Indeed. The players that matter already got to test in this way. It is unnescessary to re-run this form of testing as the players it would benefit are completely irrelevant.

Well you could set up an occasional "armageddon day" for mass tests, that should bring in some extra crowd for latency testings. P
Having full skills on sisi all the time would be bad I agree.


I recall once in the distant past they did have an Armageddon day on sisi. All of the universe was 0.0, non-con pvp was allowed and everything was seeded, and they wanted everyone to come and kill the crap out of each other. It was awesome. Seriously good fun.

Problem was, that was a unique circumstance. If I recall correctly they were testing the new tq cluster, running it as sisi and making sure that it worked under silly stress. That's almost certain never to happen again. Too bad you missed it dude.

Maybe a compromise would be to allow you to "re-allocate" your skill points for ONE day???

You still may not be able to fly a titan but at least you could try different race battleships.

This way noobs can't hop in a titan and start to mess things up, also it would be a reward for loyal customers with 40 million skill points or higher.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

Armageddon Day was at the end of beta - or at least the one I remember was. Sisi didn't exist, or if it did then it was literally a desktop machine in Iceland.

I think they ran a second one on the "new" Sisi in late 2007 but there was only about 2000 people online as that's all sisi could handle then.

I'm pleased to see that CCP have said no this time. Some things should stay unique.

Thing is that this would probably be good for toons trading, I mean if you really know what you want has toon you just get your credit card out buy some plex and that's it, you have it.

No silly year of commitment training for training, learning for learning, and years of time wasted just to fly with 3 or 4 ships you really like in the game.

Serious business for CCP but apparently some players rather do this business on their own on private forums where everything has a price in real money....

There was a second Armageddon day, 2007/2008 sounds about right.

Took forever to log on, and if you crashed then forget getting back. Load on Sisi was so high that any session change took half an hour or more. Sure it was fun, but not an experience I would care to repeat.

I want to test the stuff I can fly on TQ,not mess about with things I cannot fly, or never intend to fly.

Why do I always see these

"I want free stuff because its just a test server, and I want to pvp because the test server is for testing pvp and not bugs. How else are we supposed to test fits before we get them blown up in tq? So give me all the ships so I can fly anything and feel like a god because I'm awesome and deserve it"
