Not surprised they have a form letter for it, not uncommon at all.

Was an interesting coincidence that both replies came from Javier.

Maybe he wants us 2 to join test, LOL. But now I know it just wasnt to me, and my bubble has been popped! Well, I'll just cross my fingers.

From the Grog Blog today - a more detailed answer regarding this question:

Test Server access is sent out via e-mail invitation. We start from our longest standing members (Pirates that have been Unlimited Access since Launch) who have had no account violations, are in good standing, no previous bans or player reports/complaints filed against them. You also must be a current, paid Unlimited Access Member subscriber. Canceling or changing to Basic Access will cancel your Test Server access.

If you meet all of these requirements, congratulations! You either already have Test Server access or are on the waiting list. We do not transfer any Pirates from the Live game over to the Test Server, everyone starts from meager beginnings on Test.

When we have large releases and need help to check out upcoming game updates, we like to message the community. If we are ever in need of recruiting more Pirates for the Test Server cause, we'll let you know and release the next batch of invitations ... so keep a watchful eye on your inbox.

Thanks for your interest!

no previous bans or player reports/complaints filed against them.

Are you kidding???? You hurt some obnoxious rep thief's feelings, you're reported and therefore won't be considered for the test servers?

I give up any and all hope that I will ever be invited.

[Captain Seaford]

Wait, so he's saying you have to be unlimited access since you started?

I've never been suspended, and I have no idea whether I've been "reported". I wish there were some way that D would let us know if we've been reported. I would like to be able to get an invite to the Test server, but I don't even know whether I am eligible or not.

There is nothing big about the test sever. You bairly find anyone online and
there is only 2 servers online anyway and they are both quiet. Sure
you get to test the new things comming online but its still boring because
you can bairly find anyone else online.
