First thing is to read the rules for the test server http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=253187.

Next you should get on the ingame chat channel moveme.

Read the follow the instructions as stated in the channel's MOTD, you want to get moved to the system FD-MLJ as that is the system where all the action and testing takes place.

It is also the system where it has every item stocked in the market for 100 isk and specified combat sites for players as designated by the beacons in the system, from capital ships to t1 frigs only.

Once done welcome to FD-MLJ and start testing
