The Test instance is a DragonRealms server dedicated to testing. It is where new systems are released for beta testing and commentary by a select group of players, before being incorporated into the "live" servers (Prime, Platinum, and The Fallen).
Current Status
December 10, 2013
The Test Instance is currently open to all subscribers for beta testing of DragonRealms 3.1, a major upgrade of many game systems.
Access
Access is normally available for Platinum Subscribers, Community Leaders, Mentors, and other players individually selected by the GameMasters.
Before major system upgrades, the test instance is typically opened up to all subscribers for final beta testing.

Healing Testing
To facilitate testing of the 3.1 healing system, in front of the Empaths' Guild in Crossing there is "a hurty thing" and a GameMaster named Testone. The hurty thing can be used on Testone to generate wounds for testing the healing systems. Additionally, shock tester dials are available for sale for 1 kronar, which allow an Empath to set or clear their shock if they become shocked during the course of testing.
Notes
Experience and items gained or lost in the Test instance have no effect on your character in the live game.
Typically, character files will be copied over from the relevant instance into Test en masse, and may be recopied without notice as the GM's see fit and as testing circumstances warrant.
