If you are visiting this site because you are running, or want to run, on the test server, this page will contain some useful info and links for you. Much of this information is extracted from the forums at Eternal Lands (eternal-lands.com) and many of the "(check here for updates)" links will send you TO those forums, where the latest information is available.

I. Getting your 'client' set up for the test-server

First, if you don't already have version 097 of the Eternal Lands game installed on your computer, get it here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/index.php?content=download. Once installed, you may proceed:

>>>IF YOU WEREN'T RUNNING ON THE TEST SERVER DURING PHASE ONE, YOU'LL HAVE TO START HERE <<<
(taken from:eternal-lands.com Forum Index -> General Chat , topic: New test server up and running! (Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 11:16 am )) (check here for updates): 
Ok, the test server is up and running. 
Instructions for those who want to help in the beta testing: 
1. Copy all your el files into a different folder. 
2. Download this file: www.eternal-lands.com/test_server_client.zip
 and overwrite the existing files with it (in the new folder) 
3. Edit el.ini or use elconfig and change the port to 2001 
4. Look at the manufacturing list here: http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/manufacture.htm 
5. Report the bugs in the special thread on the Bugs forum. ONLY in that thread please.
 Also, read what others posted before you so you won't resubmit a bug twice. 
6. Have fun
The zip file mentioned above did not have the linux binaries included within, so check here for updates!

II. Updates and bug-reports for test client:

An updated el.exe (#ver=0.9.7p4) is available here: el.exe which activates the functions in the knowledge/research window (left-most of 2 'tools' icons), when used in conjunction with the knowledge.lst. (If running in windows, right-click on knowledge.lst, and select 'Save target as... be sure to select 'all files' (not 'text file') and choose location of your game folder in the popup window). Both files must be copied into the game folder (you must NOT be logged into game test-server) for the function to be enabled. See these topic threads for details, or if you are running under LINUX:
New server: Knowledge/research window bugs
knowledge.lst where you can find it!
also:
Sticky: New test server up and running!

>>>>Report ALL bugs in the special thread on the Bugs forum:<<<<

III. Phase 2 testing:

Tuesday April 27, Phase 2 of the new-server testing begins!
>>> If you can't login under your test-server name, <<<<
>>> try logging in under your old-server name. The accounts may have already been changed! <<<
(taken from: eternal-lands.com Forum Index -> General Chat , topic: Second test phase comming tomorrow (Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2004 11:22 pm [GMT-5])) (check here for updates): 
Ok, tomorrow I'll import all the old accounts on the test server, 
   to see if there are any problems with the transition. If no problems will be detected in 2 days,
   we'll complete the transition. 
So, all your test characters will be deleted/overwritten tomorrow. 
After the test is complete, we will do the very same thing again, so you will not get any
   permanent exp/items/etc. in those 2 days.
