From the official site, we find info about how NC is enhancing the test server so that more people will play on it for the time being.
From Wednesday, November 24 at 9:00 a.m. PDT through Wednesday, December 8th at 12:01 a.m. PDT (which is the launch of Chronicle 2), increased drop rates will be initiated on the Public Test Server. The new drop rates are as follows:
* Item Drop Increase = 5x
* XP/SP = 5x
* Spoil Rate = 5x
* Adena Drop Increase = 10x
* XP Loss On Death = Yes
* Item Drop On Death = Yes
* Party XP/SP = 5x
Remember, this is JUST the test server, and none of the effects on the test server will make that much of a difference, but it could be fun to just play around. They are doing this so that getting to a decent level, especially with a good party and getting decent equipment is much faster. About time!
