Patch 13 was almost as bad as 12.6....and oh god was that bad! I have to say almost as this time we can actually hit something, but death is still just about a given.

Is it that hard when you publish a new patch to the test server to duplicate the player database over to it? The reason if its not obvious that there is always so many bugs in the patchs is because no one is really at a high enough lvl to actually find them. And they won't play on the test server to make a ultra high lvl char as you once said chars might be deleted from time to time. So copying the player database over would give us all an incentive to partake in helping to make the patching actually work and not a new way to make yet more bugs as it currently is.
