Same here. Hope they fix it before the mass test though.

I dod get past the EULA just fine but I cannot connect to the server: "Unable to connect too 872373850 on port 26000"

I´m running the newest mac client built. I checked eve offline and saw that other people get online just fine. I was hoping to particiapte at the mass test, so if you find a solution or something please let me know.

Edit: You guys with the EULA problem can have a look here, seems like they found a workaround: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=16103&find=unread

Is there any way we can push these a little farther into the evening so those of us stuck at the office until 5 can participate :) Maybe not all of them, but a certain percentage of them?

Is there going to be a new copy of TQ before this latest mass test? I'd like to participate with both of my accounts, but the last copy was before I even made one account, and the other is about 8 mil SP behind.

Later than 20:00 UTC (=eve-time) is quite difficult for us, as most EVE devs are located in Reykjavik, Iceland. But we will keep this in mind and perhaps we can have some mass-tests again with the help from our office in Atlanta.

This mass-test will be on our event test-server Duality and yes - it will have a new mirror from TQ.

tl;dr - I don't know much about the Test Servers but Here's some of my thoughts. (Freebies/Boosted Skills/Shopping Mall w/ EXIT to Testing Grounds)

I am not sure if this is even in the right spot. Please bear with me on this.

I have yet to do anything on the Test Server and would love to help out but wouldn't it make a lot of sense for you to have some "preset" missions that players could do to get an accelerated Learning ability or an automatic 10million SP given as a 1 time deal / give players missions to do to get ships / modules "Dead Space Pockets" that way it's harder to scan down and not all players are bumping into the same missions?

I don't know who / where i should send this suggestion to. However if the Test Server was less focused on the skills that the players have on TQ and more on trying to give all players a chance to get into the SiSi Tests with decent setups. Especially for Fleet Warfare.

It might get more people interested to be able to go in and get boosted to a level that makes the game more interesting. Such as an automatic 10million SP - Would allow Pilots to get tech 2 guns and bring tech 2 ships to the fight as well as allow them to build up to a certain aspect of the game.

or given players current skill points "with the boosts of 2mil SP here and there" give out ships / mods for next to nil?

You have the ability to Place Wormholes / Portals to Specific Points in Space why not place some of these "Hidden ones on the test servers and allow players to warp into them and pick up what ever they need for the tests "48 hours total on the test server with a roll back expected"

24 Hours before the Event Starts you could open Wormholes in Major Hubs throughout the Test Server and have one of the Wormholes that are Leading out be Marked as EXIT to the Testing Grounds. Once Players get their ships all fitted they'll be poof right there where you need them. It'll also allow for the splitting up of players into fleets and give people a place to converse about what they should be bringing into the fight.

Thank you DeadNite! I've been wanting this too. Darn bankers hours!!! lol I know there are test server things on the weekend sometimes but those times are usually filled with much needed pvp or other EVE functions.

Coordinating with Atlanta sounds like an excellent solution! Blink

Hey just out of curiosity, how long do these mass tests take? I just finally got onto Singularity last night and plan on getting on it every once in awhile to test out fits and such before I use them (especially since I may be heading out to low/null for a long period for the first time soon)

I want to try and make it to this mass test for the SP bonus on singularity but I just don't know if I'll have time since I'll be working :P

So how long would you guys say they take?

Is it on Duality or Singularity? http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4768&tid=1 says singularity but this thread says duality.

Nodes, It is back end server stuff and nothing to do with navigation in game.

Guys,

You have to be more clear when you set a test to be held on Duality instead of Singularity, and doublecheck your texts.
It doesn't help that the SisiLaucher tool is mentioned everywhere, it should be called "TestLauncher" or something.

If you expect to get over 500 participants to get ready and patch for something like this, get your announcements right please. Smile
I'll be there (if I manage to patch for the correct server).

Duality in Duality is password only. That I dont understand.

Things seem FAR too unorganized for this test. Half the people are going to show up on sisi to just then learn that they need to go on Duality and a 1+ gig patch.

Love the look of the new Captains quarters in Duality tho. And the icons from going in and out.
