Suggestion for establishing test servers for each area

ramjot

This topic has come up before but things have happened recently which will help support this suggestion.
The servers should be setup on less powerful and therefore cheaper systems with a restricted and controlled number of volunteer test users.
The users who wish to have access would be given the option of having a copy of one of their normal user accounts copied for their start.
The servers would only be available for the period from when the patch/update was available until the patch/update went live.
One server per area West Coast, East Coast and Europe.
A user wishing to be connected would need to raise a support ticket in which they would identify their account and potentially initial character and perhaps the time of day they would be testing. The information supplied would be used to help control the number of users and spread of testing time so the loading on the server would be controlled to keep within the capabilities of the server.

Any thoughts guys?
