The developers are currently testing new features on Amun. Amun will be up in a few days =)

Actually,

We are not currently testing anything and that's exactly why it's closed.

We are also aiming to change the impression that Amun is just another official server, it was never meant to be open at all times (Its purpose is detailed here). We did analyze the possibility of keeping it always open but you'd be surprised the amount of misplaced feedback we receive on a daily basis (bug reports on things that are work in progress, reports on loss of items because Amun database was reset, reports on discrepancies about the characters).

On the other hand, we appreciate all the feedback gathered unnofficially but it has proven to be more efficient if we organize the tests (There is already a testing team made of volunteers).

Last but not least, the fact that Amun was constantly open in recent months was due to constant server performance and stability testing (keeping the server running just to see if it crashes was one of the reasons). While this could be usually the case, it's not guaranteed.

Regards

but when you reopen? and then if amun is a server that is used to test the ximerini us how we do it is always closed?

Thats really a point, as we dont have a possibiity to check if a painting fits our imagination without actually buying the colors on live, the testserver is much appreciated.

Another thing is testing configs, pvp and be able to chat with each other, tests how this or that armor looks like without wasting gold..

Couldnt you find a way to get both interests solved? you could eg. make a window like the premium Advertising one pop up on login wich explains in some sentence what this server is about.

Its a pity that its closed and the possibility to test things out is really wanted by many players i know.

I was hoping the sever would be up in a few days, but I see why its down. Amun should stay experimental, and I totally agree with Aensor. Amun also gives us a view of the upcoming updates before hand

I have a suggestion.

Why dont u make appair a window when u press Amun saying something like "ATENTION: Amun is NOT an official server. Things that you do here won't be done in the official servers. We wont solve any problems caused in this server.". This way, they wont have any excuse like "Oh, I didnt know that it wasnt an official server", for example, so you can just ignore the feedbacks from Amun.

I (and most of us) find Amun very useful to check some skills, buy some weapons, etc etc.
