The difference between Tranquility and Entropy
Tranquility is the server' the EVE game world where most of the action takes place. Entropy is the test server where players can experiment with new features and changes without risking loss or changes to their favorite characters on the live server. Periodically' the latest data from Tranquility will be uploaded to the Entropy server. This process allows players to use their existing characters from the Tranquility server rather than having to start new characters on Entropy. Data is not transferred from Entropy to Tranquility' so whatever is done on the test server will not affect characters in the real game world.
How to access the test server
The test server is open to everyone' but the information about the accounts and characters is only updated periodically from the live server. You may not be able to log onto Entropy if your EVE account was created after the last update. From the EVE log in screen' select the option to enter the test server. A message will be displayed to alert you whether or not the build you have of the EVE client is compatible with what is currently in use on the Entropy server. Role of bughunters
Bughunters are not game masters or EVE developers. They are members of the Interstellar Services Department' our volunteer program' who assist our programmers by testing game features and items on Entropy' filtering bug reports that are submitted and helping to establish a priority for fixes and changes that need to be made. Bughunters do not have special characters or abilities on Tranquility. Becoming a bughunter
Although interested players can use the application on the website to apply for other branches of the volunteer program' acceptance into the bughunter group is by invitation only. Leads for the division observe and invite candidates based on participation in the #eve-chaos channels' on the forums and by the quality and quantity of the bug reports they have submitted. The best way to become a bug hunter is to help out frequently and express an interest to someone in the division. Consequences of braking the FCC rules
Should you encounter someone who is breaking the FCC rules' report it to a member of the BH squadron immediately. If none are available' make a post on the Patch Review forum. Do not try to exact avenge yourself. Please try to maintain a sense of propriety and remember that stirring things up on the forum only serves to escalate problems more often than not. Each case is investigated individually when a complaint is received. Repeat offenders may be temporarily or permanently banned from Entropy. Joining the Fight Club If you own shares in your current corporation' you will not be able to join FCC. To correct this' make a new corporation on Entropy' then resign from it. Those who need money may request it in #eve-Entropy in game (but generally most players will not give it to you). --Images
Images can communicate an abnormality more efficiently than trying to communicate it through text. Use the ¡°Printscreen¡± on your keyboard to capture images to your Eve/Capture/Screenshots directory' and then convert them to jpg format before submitting them. Drawing a red ring around specific areas' taking care not to obscure important parts of the image' may help clarify what you are reporting.
