Test Center is a crucial part of the Hellgate: London’s future. The players who use Test Center, report bugs and give us feedback are some of the most influential players in our community.
(超訳) TCプレイヤーは神様です。

So, I'm asking those of you who want to help to have a character on Test Center that you regularly play. To help with this, we are making some changes to how we run Test Center:
(超訳) TCプレイヤーのお手伝いをしたいので仕様変更しました。

1. No more planned character wipes.

• We will no longer wipe the characters on Test Center in order to copy characters over from Shulgoth. Copying these characters has had a negative impact on the population size in Test Center instead of a positive one.
  • (超訳) キャラコピーの際、既存キャラ消してサーセン。一気にTC人口減って俺ら涙目。

• I can't absolutely guarantee against any character wipes in Test Center – after all, this is where we try things out before they go live and things can go wrong. I can say that we won’t wipe the characters there on purpose, and I'll look at getting a database backup working for that shard.
  • (超訳) でも絶対消さないという保証は出来ないお！

• Personally, I am only going to work on my characters in Test Center – hopefully, that will be some assurance to you about my desire to prevent character wipes there. I don't like losing my character progression any more that you do.
  • (超訳) 個人的には、育てたキャラをこれ以上失うのは嫌だお・・・。

2. Double Exp on Test Center – That's right: Double experience gain on Test Center.

• • (超訳) TCならEXP2倍だお！

3. A free Skill Retrainer every time that you log in – If you have room in your inventory, we will make sure that you have a Skill Retrainer when you log in with that character. This should help testers to try out various skill combinations.

• • (超訳) ログインする度に、Skill Retrainer配布だお！Inventryに1スロットの空きをお願いだお！

4. Test Center Rewards – Occasionally, we will be looking at who is playing in Test Center and who is posting constructive feedback about what is going on there. These people will have their accounts marked as being “good testers.” We are going to cook up a couple little rewards for these people – which will be visible on Shulgoth as well as Test Center. It might be a few weeks until the rewards come, but we are working on it.

• • (超訳) Feedbackしてくれた人を探し出して、詳しい事情を聞く為にお話しすることもあるお！そういった人は"good testers"として、Accountレベルでマークされて、何かしらの御褒美があるお！ご褒美が来るまで数週間かかるかもしれないお！

These new policies have taken effect with the uploading of Patch 1.1b to Test Center, which completed earlier this hour.
