Does anyone think that there are a bit too many tests uploaded to J2O these days? I have seen about 6 uploaded in about a month.
Don't get me wrong, I do like tests but I just think there are too many.

Care for to explain what you mean by "tests"?

Not really. If there are enough uploaded people might understand that they really ought to be making better ones, as there are so many low-quality tests out there already.

People shouldn't upload tests unless they are good. Violet makes good tests. I make good tests. Mike makes...adequate tests.

Everyone else's are mediocre, whether or not I've played them.

So you're implying that only three people should be allowed to upload tests at all?

My tests kinda bore me. Someday I ought to try reinventing the genre. Unless someone else wants to do it so I can be lazy.

Sounds like we need to institute a TEST LICENSE!!!

I have always liked tests. Personally I think the best way to spread them is to host them a lot. The more people get a chance to play a test (and if test is good), the more likely it is that they will host it sometime and the whole process will repeat. If people feel like uploading tests to J2O then I have nothing against it. The quality of the tests can always be determined by the rating system and "bad" tests are likely to get a lower rating. I would, however, like to encourage people to put some decent amount of work into their tests and make them 1.23 before deciding to upload them. This makes the author more happy for he gets a higher rating and us more happy for we have another good test to play.

No. The idea of my post is that it's stupid to even suggest, as is the original question.

That's like saying 'there are too many CTF servers on Unreal Tournament 2004.'

Each test on J2O is one test too many

Tell me, how are tests different than battles/SPs/CTFs/etc?

I just cant take this seriously.
What do you mean, arrogance? heh. (Oh, and this doesn't mean I do not agree. I've played Wind Meisters, Wind tests and EvilMike tests a lot of times ;p They are really good.)
You already say that tests made by ANY OTHER player are bad already. While you didn't even see them.
I know that Yasco made a few good, real good tests.
Also Dx made 1 good test so far.
Some of the kirby tests are quite okay too.
And what do you mean with "good" tests anyways?
Hard tests doesn't mean they are good.
Tests can be good too without being hard. There are people who are not good in tests. They can have fun with the less hard tests. Heh. (Like Test Z4 for example. > O)

well they're still tests *observative*

Let them feel free to upload their work, I'm sure everyone would love to see the reviews and ratings for his test.

tests are fun. Just about every MMO none RPG game has CTF or Battle. I mean really that gets so boring so fast. Tests are what keeps the community alive. If every single server was hosting nothing but non-stop CTF or Battle i'd i'm sure that ppl would be leaving in a heartbeat. The hotels, the tests, the survivor, the onslaught, and all the other gametypes that were not originally supposed to be in the game is what makes it fun to play.

Dude I was playing some CTF Deathmatch in Need for speed last night when someone in the server said "CTF going live in Sims Online!!!" so I left.
