I was in a game with a test server like this and they too removed the server access. I suspect the reason for removing, might have been more players started using it over the actual server. On that game server, the test server allowed god-like mode at a fraction of the cost.
I never played here on singularity.
Have fun!
while titans, still had to be built, everything on the market seeded by ccp was 100isk even PLEX.
Your skills are the same, unless youāre awarded extra by CCP for participating in a Test Server āEventā.
Up to 5 million.
Itās their flagship, if they need feedback on how content is from players.
Are players just stuck in the station doing nothing. We need a mini game that lets us flip burgers in the station. At least that will get people thinking about the job of a fast food worker. I thought CCP would make casino games and go arcade eve. Imagine going to a casino station and gambling in texas holdem.
I would love that.
They say they canāt because of different jurisdictions having laws against gambling.
They have hypernet.
Isnāt that gambling?
Bullocks!
We donāt need no test server. We need devās to test their stuff before sending it for approval.
Test server 
The test server was for carebears who are too scared to test things on the live server. They just want to āpracticeā without any risk.
CCP made the right choice to get rid of it.
Says the most risk adverse player in the game.
averse /É-vĆ»rsā²/
āinvestors who are averse to taking risks.ā
Is your name āSmarterā ? Smarter than what, a seal?
Smarter than the letter āUā, which is completely meaningless as a measure, might as well say smarter than a rock.
From you thatās a compliment.
You.
Losing a 2m ISK Catalyst isnāt considered a risk little buddy.
Smarter Than @Uriel_the_Flame was taken. 
You mean I could have tested out my X-Large Ancillary Shield Booster, or rather accidentally hit it and not realised it was still on, and got a ā you are out of capacitor ā right at the gate of Kubinenā¦without having to flee when someone with 10,000 solo kills showed up ?
I voted no, but itās a qualified no in that I donāt think we need what the test server has been in the past: a general access playground for people to test fits and mess around in safety.
I do think we need a test server where expansion mechanics are deployed for targeted testing, analysis, and player feedback before they hit Tranquility. The current dev model seems to be ādeploy to live and then patch, patch, patch until we get it right.ā And I donāt think that is working well.
Same as it should be open only to the pilots who are in the CSM core group.
We might vote for our CSM members along with creating theads containing our suggestion though it is the CSM who send such information upwards.
Maybe in lieu of SiSi an actual ātest groupā?
And yet, you voted ānoāā¦
And yet, you didnāt read the rest of what I posted (apparently).
I did. Maybe you should read it again.
Thereās a reason they voted noā¦ no to what sisi wasā¦ but a more targeted sisi, like the mass tests, maybe more of them on a regular basisā¦ targeted to what ccp wants to test.
I think one of the things that led to getting rid of sisi, was the fact that too many people were using sisi to test out abyssals and other game play safely before doing it on the main server and therefore already having an advantage over those who chose not to test.
