OK the big problem I see here is you are trying to do testing in a completely non systematic way.
You dump changes on the test server and expect people to test them. This is just total random and completely hap-hazard. Hence bugs get through, items dont get studied throughly etc etc.
You need to stop think of testing as a side issue and make it professional like a real software company. Employ some testers - from the eq2 gaming community if ness - pay them to do a job. Thats the only way to get througher testing.
Dont treat testing like part of the game. Treat it as part of the software developement as it should be.
Change your mind set.
Hmm... we have that. Its called the QA department. And I have to give props to them for the amount of bugs they find and bounce back to us developers! People tend to get very critical when a bug makes it through, but these guys and gals do a great job.
Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread. Back to the discussion of the test server.
