Feldon From the EQ2 Forums:
Frostfell is active on Test!
There’s plenty of Frostfell cheer throughout Norrath this season! Gigglegibbers and Frostfell elves are busy celebrating the holiday within the player cities, and encouraging everyone to visit the Frostfell Wonderland Village, accessed through the Magic Closets in Qeynos Province District, Freeport, Haven, Kelethin, Neriak, Gorowyn and New Halas. There you can assist Candice Cheriweth, Gardy Ex-Giftgiver, Mr. McScroogle, Queen Bunny, and Snarf Frostfoot with some holiday tasks, but only after you release them from their deep freeze! For those that have a talent for crafting, you can help Sogs Frostfoot, or gather presents to craft wondrous new Frostfell goodies for yourself. Don’t forget to log in each day and claim your extra-special Frostfell present from everyone’s favorite Frostfell Gigglegibber, Santa Glug!

I’m honestly confused as to why you can’t copy a character over to test it. You can still DO /beta, but the beta server itself is locked. It says /test copy is disabled on Live servers.
Test server has always been a ‘level the hard way’ server. Testcopy server was converted to betaserver
I never really know about the test servers, I did do beta last month and tried a couple of quest character was only 91 still is 91. I recently tried the test server and found if refreshing at the least. Trying out new areas and so on. Seeing the new items loved loved everything they really did a wonderful job.
