The title says it all, it has been about two months. So when is the next one? It's needed greatly

According to this post, it won't be for a while.

CCP is being a joke right now, I have played this game like two months and have gotten bad customer service the whole time. It's been two months since the last one? They need to find better support for the test server and other things. This is ********

Well, to be fair, you don't pay for the test server. There is no customer support for the test server beyond reactivations and password resets. As for the rest, it would be nice if they at least appeared they cared to have their game tested.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

That is true but it goes hand in hand with their service as a whole which is sub par

And mirrors take quite a bit of work, hell the last one got delayed until almost the day before odyssey came out.

Quite a bit of work?

More like so much work that while trying to mirror TQ's database and implement it on SiSi... EVERYTHING got fried and jettisoned into deep space.


Dear OP:
Mirrors, such funny things.
It's probably one of the hardest things they do, just for us, so pay some respect to the technicians that had to put up with all that BS just to "Simply Mirror" or "Add my account" on Singularity. Asking for one of these once a month or even more often would be like asking a normal person to break their back because "Fun".

Ok, the test server is NOT for CCp to make sure your skills are updated so you can test things. At the moment they have more pressing issues so the need for them to mirror is so low on their list of things to do. Emo raging on forums is NOT going to change the fact that they need to work out the bugs with the patch they deployed before remotely considering a mirror. So get in line and wait for October like the rest of us.

Exactly. The test server is there to test out new builds before they are deployed over to TQ. Therefore, a new mirror is not needed as people are perfectly capable of testing for bugs on one/three/six/whatever month out of date characters. The server is not there so that players can test fittings/ships/etc without actually having to buy them on TQ.

You should try Tranquility.... your skills will be up to date there, and it has the added bonus of thats where the game is!!!!!


EDIT: never mind, OP was a bought character that has now been sold again. Guess that sort of posting (quoted) is what we get when we let new players come and buy their way into larger SP characters.
