Testing Stendhal is not only fun, it's also very important because it can solve problems before releases. If you find any problems or need help with testing please ask at #arianne. If you are sure you have found a bug, feel free to submit a report directly.

We have a dedicated test server, which is updated every day with the new code. Please apply at #arianne if you would like to help with testing. You may need a test client, please note this is a slow download.

When you do each stage, read your console log.
For quest testing: if you want to use an existing char, that has done most quests, you can reset all quests by saying cleanme! (with "!") to Diogenes.
The test server log is here and can be useful to check if something strange happened (just scroll to the bottom for the latest entries)
