Before developers release game content onto the official server, they'd like feedback from other developers and playtesters. This testing server regularly restarts for content fixes and tweaks.
IRC
Those interested in content testing should come to irc.themanaworld.org channel: #tmw-dev.
Github
Keep track of our testing phase by following us on github.com: Server data, Client data.
Forums
Before content is tested and/or while it is being tested, content is often discussed on the tmwAthena development forums.
Client
Those interested in playtesting need to get a client, which can be found on our downloads page.
GM Abilities
There are several levels of GM ability, depending on the person's role on the development team. Note that the primary purpose of this server is to allow developers and testers to test new and unfinished content. To keep it open to the public, we've restricted access to certain GM commands which have been abused to interfere with testing.
