Test server questions

[Katorone]

A few questions about the test server(s).

- At the moment I can only connect to Battlemode of any of the 4 test servers which are online. I'm not whitelisted for Build & Event, and getting the errors: EOFException on the OLD-DB server.
-> Is there a way to contact anyone quickly when this is the case? I don't know who has access to restart the test server when there's an issue with it.

- How is it communicated to players when a specific issue needs testing?

- Is there a subforum or chat for people who are interested in 'community building' on the test server?

I'm a newbie so I might be entirely unaware of this. It just seems to me that if Schine needs a pool of testers to be active, the best way to do this is to facilitate communication with and between people who want to play on these servers.

Fastest way is to poke me or Lancake, for restarting the server or getting information about their state/stability.

Battlemode server is one version behind, forgot to update it.
Make sure to always have the latest dev-build to see them.

There is a chat for people frequently playing there, but as many just step by once, we do not immediately pick them up.
We usually wait at least a few days into the next dev-builds.
As this separates the players that
just visit them because they match the release version,
from the players that actually play dev-builds.
