Otherwise, its still POTCO couldnt mistake it for anything else!

Only if you have received an invitation from POTCO to do so. When they decide they need an influx of testers, they look to the list, and select members in good standing. There is a sign up form on the official site to basically get put on the waiting list.

Wonder if that will happen again soon. Been on the waiting list for 2 months now. Guess that's why it's not a hurry up list.

In the last week or so, Disney has sent out invites to the test server to people who were on the waiting list. I don't know how many people were invited, but I do know that there are at least a few new faces on the test servers.

If you are on the waiting list, hang in there. Disney takes their time in inviting people. Also, remember that your account has to be in good standing. Not that it has to be unlimited, basics get invited, too.

It is my understanding that a player needs to have Unlimited Access and be in good standing. This Host GM reply on the Grog Blog also includes the link to sign up:

As long as you're an Unlimited Access member in good standing (with no account violations), you are eligible for a Test Server invitation. We've got another batch of invitations going out soon, please be patient. To sign up click here. Thanks for your comment.

You have to be an Unlimited Access to do the test server?

Not to be annoying, but could you give me the link to it? I'd kinda like to sign up.
Thanks,

Noticed no one had posted this, thought I'd share a little insight onto the duration of these invasions.

Until the relics are returned to Port Royal, Jolly Roger will have free reign to invade the island whenever he sees fit.

Invasions are not a "holiday" feature Chele, they will play a major role in world events going forward. Who else might invade? And what other islands will they try to take over? We're getting ahead of ourselves - Pirates, stop Jolly Roger from invading Port Royal!
