The reason would be to TEST the bugs. This is the test server so I don't understand why everyone is flipping out about losing everything... Nothing is guaranteed on test.

I do too. I do not understand the complaints about test. It is called TEST for a reason.

It's still up; maybe they're about ready to make the switch to Open. After hours ( days ) of Test being " closed for maintenance" it might finally be time...

I have a test account but it is only lvl one so I don't use it much (just to check out the new system when it was realeased) so can anyone tell me if the bugs are still there. I know from James that mac users still can't get in, sorry to here that, but "I'm Pride of Pearl, and I'm a PC"

[Jamesvsthekraken]

and test is down once again for maintenance i hope they fix this soon :/

[pirateLPS123987]

"The site is closed for maintance".
I reported a few NEWER bugs, from after the big fix that took 3 or 4 days. I think they might be fixing some of those... and hopefully I might ablet o log in to test again after days of waiting. I'm starting to lose my patience... but hopefully most testers will be able to get on soon.

The last time they were trying to fix bugs, they accidently brought new ones in, so who knows? I say that we are lucky... since we get to report these bugs... and the more of us report it, the more chance of getting a fix, the less chance of having these horrible bugs on live.like Jamesvsthekraken, I couldn't log in to test cuz it kept saying it lost connection to the servers. I inspected it, and it was downloading the islands, as i could see in the background, the top, right corner. That means I did not lose connection, so it was, after all, a bug.

[Jamesvsthekraken]

Aye, same here lol but feel free to call me James or James O'martin

We never know it could come for Easter... So really, you never know... only disney does

Yes James, only Disney knows. However, an update this big needs to be thoroughly tested before it gets released. A few days is not thorough. Especially since mac users still can't log on (last I heard). It may come out soon, but don't get your hopes up. Personally, I think someone needs to get El Patron's sword that turns you into a ghost so that aspect can be tested before it is released. You never know what can cause something to go crazy. But, once again, who knows.

[William ORoberts]

Actually, I don't think Disney knows yet since they keep introducing new bugs. They probably have a date set but will postpone it if there are major issues. I never had much patience in the first place, now I have less....

If the update is working the exact way they intended, that could be possible. But considering how long Test has been unavailable for people to test, I don't see this happening. The developers have been focused on the major problems with Test for a couple of days. Without testers having access to Test during that time period, only bugs that the developers themselves discover will be noticed.. so it could take longer than that.

Yes, the El Patron's sword definitely needs some testing. But who knows? It's the rarest weapon out there.... a tester might not get it for weeks, if not months. There is probably a bug on the sword, but no one knows when we will discover that one. If we had to wait for a tester to find El Patron's sword, then disney would have to make it less rare, which I don't see happening, or else we would simply get the update on live maybe even next year. Already, the update is delayed for live (3 or 4 days of no testing when there should be basically a lot of testing, and disney introduced new bugs during that? Seems like it wil be released later then it should be), so I don't think Disney have time for us to discover the rarest weapon in the game. If someone finds it before the open, then yes, Disney will probably delay it a little cuz of the sword, but I simply don't see that happening right now.
