Some info here: Singularity
Easiest way to install separate Sisi (= Singularity = test server) client has been Sisi Launcher which still works, but is going to be removed.

When you have separate install done, you start it and login with your normal account name / password. If that doesn't work try your older password if you have changed it recently. (Account password will be whatever you had at last Mirror - see below.)

CCP occasionally does new "Mirror" on Sisi, which means that everything in Sisi is deleted, and all data from Tranquility (main server) is copied to Sisi - accounts, characters etc.. From that point onwards you can continue training your characters differently in Sisi and Tranquility, and everything you do in Sisi will be completely separate from Tranquility - but also all that will be lost at next Mirror. So don't plan too long projects in Sisi.

I dunno. Maybe you can find some info on this very forum?

so is the test server a good place to go to just fight and learn PvP without having your character get the losses you do not want while figuring things out?

Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.  Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!

Not really. The population of SiSi averages around about 150 except on CCP mass tests.

SiSi Launcher tip:

If you have problems patching SiSi:

1. Delete the "Singularity" folder.
2. Copy your EVE folder to "Singularity".
3. Start the SiSi Launcher again.
