TEST server now open to everyone - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Ooooh, plenty of new wall glitches. My favorite so far, is under the bridge. Brings me up right by Lucinda!

Crashed launching ship...

~~May I please have a test guild invite code? (Which guilds exist on test?)~~ Thank you.

So Disney is no longer sending invites for the test server and you just go and log in?

Edward Edgemenace · #3 01-30-2009, 06:50 AM

Apparently! :-)

Changing out of full screen mode does some evil things to my display.

Impressive how many wall/door glitches they closed in that jail. I tried over 20 and only found three that still work.

I wonder why they said memory leaks are fixed? Seems to still grow, just like open servers.

Tutorials were jumpy, I assume because of the server overload.

New crew matching is FANTASTIC, so far...

wow this is so chill
cant wait 2 try it

ROTFL - god mode glitch is gone - you can't leave the jail anymore. Main jail door no longer opens. Yay.

Made it only to level 5 in the one hour it was open. At one point, saw at least three people level up at the same time, on a level 8 sergeant. F9 quirks seem to be back to the old way of leaving the location, forever. Linked accounts don't match OPEN, but apparently they should?

Man, like a kid in a candy store, I tell ya. Didn't collect my thoughts well enough to report any wall glitches. Nothing major seemed to be broken; didn't get to SvS nor PvP yet. Totally in love with the new crew stuff - clicking on people in the HUD is the way to go!

Ed.. I haven't tested out the evict a crewmember yet.. apparently can only be done in svs mode... but the possibilities just bring a smile to my face

Deuces Wild (spelled right this time) has a guild on test... lol... do you meet our criteria? PM Sarah...

Edward Edgemenace · #8 01-30-2009, 08:15 AM

Wow, they are back up already. (I'm older than dirt - are there other qualifications for the test server guild?)

Molly Ironbones · #9 01-30-2009, 08:19 AM

Disney sent out an invite tonight for all to join test server. I am in awe. Looks fantastic!!!!!

There was a previous post about test server access and the links, look there for the download.

If you account is activated on test, you can play on test. Re-downloading the separate executable, isn't the limitation they've put in place. I can't see anyone getting in trouble for trying to login there, only to discover that they were in the batch of activated accounts and are authorized to test.

I was referring to those currently without an "active" Test account. I should have been more specific.

Thanks.....

Posting (Advertising) Unapproved IP Links is against the POTCO Forum Rules and Guidelines. We already know the link has been removed from the Official Site, and Testers have the ability to re-download the Test Program if required.

Those in The Helm can always re-download the links (as found by Edward 'cached') already here (and has been for some time - no one just bothered to read

) - just review the Sticky in The Helm for details (link also provided below).

Thanks for clarifying. The post I was referring to (looks like it was removed) had an unauthorized URL that redirected to what appeared to be a "hacked" version of the main Disney site with download links to an executable file.

Edward Edgemenace · #15 02-06-2009, 08:14 PM

I didn't find that cached link. I fail to see how that is "unapproved" as it links only to the official Disney place to (re-)download it, to check to see if you are authorized on test. I for one, had no way of knowing the main thread here has now been updated (for the longest time, it wasn't.)

At any rate, anyone who has not checked their TEST server access, probably should, by following the link Maximvs provided.

Um, no. Google cache is not "hacking" by any stretch of the imagination. The executables linked are the official Disney TEST server executables, from the original Disney page.
