TBH I remember logging on to Test server as a child (curiosity and what not), and being baffled that there were a lot of high level players who played there full time. They were super friendly too. Now that I'm older I wonder if they were GMs or something and wanted to avoid playing on a normal server?
A lot were, as well as some devs. But most ppl were just internet weirdos. We never raided current content anyway. The server was basically just there to see if patches would run for a week or unravel the database.

One time we had a database error and they needed to wipe and rollback the server real far. Most of the time the worst rollback was like 5 days occasionally. Or a few hrs.

Later on they had testbuff, which was fun for kids like me.

Then eventually they did testcopy to bring over big raiding guilds, which eventually killed the community, but early on when it was just occasional around GoD we got some nice players out of it and the server was quite fun!
