Forging in Testing 03/31/2008 09:28 AM CDT
I'm really enjoying the 64 bit testing stage. It's a lot of fun!

Because it is an instance that doesn't affect how the real game is run, is there any chance I could have a kertig bar or some other exotic metal to do some forging experiments in testing? :D

I'm correct in assuming that anything I do with my money, equipment, or Eeary in that testing stage will not affect the actual game's money, equipment, or Eeary, right? Like if I randomly gave someone 500 plat, for example, I won't suddenly lose 500 plat in the real instance after the testing stage is gone.

Thanks!

Eeary,

The test instance is a direct copy of your character...You can walk Eeary and your prime character would be ok...First make sure yer in the test instance before you walk...Why forge when you can go trash your soul or hunt something you normally wouldnt.

I believe they already said no to adding rare metals to the test instance.

That's true and a good point. I'm just interested in how some exotic metal stuff would come out. Maybe I'll ask around to anyone that will give me some of their metals.

I must have missed that post, thanks Taghz!

Well...you forge in the test instance to be sure to test...forging...This will expose any bugs in that area of the game.

Problem is Forging has enough bugs already...Look at fitting, zinc, and etc...

Correct, except in regards to getting warnings/LOs/etc. Don't break policy in the Test instance, but if you really feel the need to try ask for a clarification first.
