I thinking of playing tonight on the test server. Anyone else going to do this? Should we stick with Vanu or just screw around with another empire?

Here's how to get to the PlanetSide Test Server preview:

Patch Planetside normally.
Copy (do not move) the entire Planetside directory to a new location on your computer.
In the PS directory, find "PlanetSideTest.exe"
Make a shortcut to the test patcher on your desktop.
Run the patcher and, if desired, hit "play" to enter the Planetside test environment.
You'll go to a server selection where three servers will be listed. Select the "Public Test" server.
At this point you'll be able to enter "Public Test" normally.
