Fair warning

[Alley]

I'm pretty sure the Admins have always known they need a Dev team, they freaking offered you a private server to be developed for your WHOLE TEAM to test on. Also, if my belief was not a belief, I would not be posting it. A belief is a certain trust or confidence in one thing correspondent to an individual or a group of people.

The dev test server is something that is always brought back to the table but when it's actually there nobody is using it.

Last year prior to the big OVH crash madness, I had a second freelancer server running on a separate VM on our dedicated with a script to automatically pull the latest revisions from GIT every 12h so nobody would have to constantly log on the remote desktop and stop the server, pull revisions and restart it. It barely saw any use.

Why? Because the people that really need a multiplayer capable dev test server are pvp developers and when they do their stuff they fiddle with settings every 5 or so minutes and having to rely on an external server requiring a commit and restart for every change they do introduce a noticeable waste of time. It's not worth it.

Everything else is more easily tested in SP. The only real use a global dev test server is testing stuff with the pre-deployment revision and ensuring nothing is game breaking.

It's really not the issue I would consider the most important out of the lot of issues currently standing.
