ZOIKES!!!! I'll have to look into that

Yes.

Pros:
Free gold status, all vet rewards, serverwide double xp, /testcopy every 6 hours for infinite plats and items (Firiona Vie is highly useful for this...almost all no trade items are tradeable there.), The faceless Order (progression guild) for dogmatic-Classic people. Less trolls and assholes (except for one guy, other than him, all super nice friendly people)

Cons:
It's a test server so buggy shit passes through here (as of this very moment I can't log my mains in because of an issue with task rewards with a platinum component crashing toons. Awaiting a rollback or patch on them) you're expected to report bugs to better the game, lower pop (Emu-like in population), no real economy (a few guys /testcopy the same shit and put it in the Bazaar for ridiculous prices) most people will just give you what you want for free if you don't beg and attempt to obtain it legitimately and they notice that.

It's not on the regular server list. When you run the patcher go into options and then to the "select Version" option and pick Test from the drop down and repatch.

F2P is just a hoax. Its just a demo.
Your AA's have a fixed limit unless you subscribe which is a gamestopper for any serious player.

Besides a whole load of other features you have to pay for.

Typical SOE greed

No. All items on Firiona Vie are tradeable....people buy them there and /testcopy them for their toons.
