Test server report (part 4)
Yesterday Empereur Yorius, one of the members of Tibiacity's Dutch forum gave me his Sword of Valor for the duration of the test server. I went to Orc Fortress to try soloing 2 Orc Warlords at the same time, and it was pretty easy.
The day after I went to the Lizard City to explore the dungeon there. I ran trought all Lizards until I came at the dungeon, and then I cleared the dungeon that was very small, I had expected a bigger dungeon. After the dungeon was cleared I cleared the top floors, but on the upper floor I died because I ran out of UH runes, and also because I was too lazy to walk back to the city :p.
Later I went to the desert on my paladin where I was caught by a pk'er. He was level 50+ knight but I as level 40 paladin was stronger. Then he called his friend wich was a mage and she started shooting SD on me while the knight throwed teasure chests around me so I couldn't move. I ran around for 5 minutes avoiding chests, but after that time I died.

Test server report (part 3)
Even when test servers are mentioned to do tests, you can still have a lot of fun. I wanted to try and solo a Lich on test, and with that in mind I went to the Oasis deeper tomb. I took the middle exit of Ankrahmun and ended up in the desert between 3 Behemoths. I ran away from them back to the city and took the left exit. Trought this exit I went to the tomb close to the hills, and I succeeded in this. I entered the tomb, ran trought the firt 2 floors whitout encountering much trouble, and putted my scarab coin on the coal basin wwhen standing on the flame. I ended up in the deeper tomb searching for the Lich spawns. I first went to the south, but there wasn't a lich so I went west. I saw something familiar and I knew I have been there with Mysteriosu Lion and Mixxiphoid (look at previous stories). I was in a room 2 rooms before the Lich spawn, and I was killing 3 ghosts and 2 vampires. Then I got freezed for almost 2 minutes and when I unfroze I was still alive. After 2 seconds I got kicked.
The next day, today, I log in again, and I'm still alive and well standing in the tomb where I got kicked yesterday. I had a red health bar, so I opened my backpack with UH's as fast as I could and healed myself. I succesfully killed all monsters I was spawwning in and continued my way to the Liches. 2 rooms later I saw my first Lich.
The Lich wasn't so hard as I expected until he summoned a bonebeast. A little later he summoned another one, and another one, and one more. I was facing 4 bonebeasts, a mummy and a Lich. It took me a while, but I succeeded in my goal to kill the Lich.
I went on to the next room where I encountered 2 beholders, a few mummies and 2 vampires. I killed the 2 beholders and one vampire when another Lich appeared on my screen. He summoned a bonebeast, and after a while another one wich was fatal for me.

Test server report (part 2)
The new PM features have some nice things. A first thing you can do now is switch the PM's in the middle of your screen off. This might be usefull if you want to hunt whitout getting disturbed or if you're making a movie.
But this is not the only new PM feature. There is alos a new feature called a white list. People on this list can message you while you're ingoring PM's. To access this list just click on the icon you click on to open your ignore list. You can also select the option 'Allow VIPs to message you' if you want all people from your VIP list to be able to message you while ignoring PM's. Just as with the ignore list, you can make an allowed player permanent, or only untill you log out.
The new way trade channel works prevents you from getting banned by accidenlty putting a wrong message into the trade channel. To put a message there you now have to click on a button 'Advertise'. You can then enter the message you would like to see in trade channel. To prevent spamming the limit is still one message every 2 minutes, just like before.
There are more new features then you can read here, but the others are less important. E.g. there now is a chat channel for tutors only and etc. I hoipe this article helped a little into knowing what is going to come with the next mini update. I wish youy all a lot of fun on the test server, and later on in Tibia.

Test server report (part 1)
As you might have readed on the official homepage of Tibia the test server is online. It's not easy to log onto it, but it's possible. You'll probably get a message with 'Connection time-out' but if you keep trying you'll be online after a minute or two. Is it worth it, that's another question.
It's not really possible to hunt or explore something, since you're very likely to get kicked. I have been 20 minutes on test and I have been kicked 3 times. But remember that test server is to test new features, not to have fun. Now the client got an auto bug report option wich makes it easy for you to send it. The report window appears when you start the client, before you log in and looks like this:
What's new?
* New graphic options
* New PM options (white list, no pm's on game window...)
* New trade chat options
* New bug report feature
The new graphic options allow you to choose or DirectX5, DirectX9 or OpenGL. If you don't know what to choose and the old settings worked fine then choose DirectX5.
