I think the open invite to test was Disney's way to save themselves some work. They needed more testers, they plan to release a lot of new content over the next year, the old test group was declining, or not as active as Disney wanted them to be. Releasing the test invite allowed Disney to NOT have to send personal invites, not screen accounts and find the "Right" people, not have to search and select.

My opinion, and it is just an opinion, is that:
1) A lot of these new people on test will eventually lose their fascination, and just decay away.
2) Not do the job, and Disney will remove them.
3) or, will provide some fresh faces, new ideas, and be extremely beneficial.

To those people who have been on test since the beginning; look around, even just two weeks ago, how many of the originals were active on test, how much testing was actually being done, and how many were gone, even to the point that they had let their regular accounts go inactive? I was on the test server a couple times just before they opened the invite, and I spent a few hours there and didn't see a single other pirate. Test isn't a private clubhouse, or a reward for the game Founders, it's a place for Disney to get feedback on things they plan to release to the public, before it happens.

Disney will weed out the ones that don't give any valid input, and those who stay will prove to be valuable to the game and it's development.
Remember the whole idea behind test is to have people verify the content, test the functionality, and report back their findings. All those who think being on test is just Tortuga on Abassa, they will be gone in short order.

I myself plan to get at least one test pirate to level 40 as fast as I can. Since I am one of the biggest mouths to complain about lack of content for high level pirates, nothing for level 40's pirates to do, I want to be in position to test ANYTHING that they have coming out for raised Notoriety, Weapons levels, etc.
