Hello @all

I recently found out about the test server, and I had a nice idea for many players.

As I was trying to involve peppy with the idea, he just said I shall request it on the forums.

I would like to use the test server to make a small community. (maybe up to ~300 players?)
It's kind demoralising for some to always see the best players ranked on the top scores (like Cookiezi, White Wolf, rrtyui, ShadowSoul) taking all the #1 on insane maps, so we want a nice chance to be able to rank too.
It also gives those a chance to get good enough to change back to the normal osu! site later.

One of the biggest points is to test new features before we get those bugs on the main osu!

Everybody is able to test new features, but not everyone is able to rank maps.
(Maybe putting 1-2 ranking protection admins that take an eye for those people?)

The main points are :-
  1. -People who want to play there should not be uberpro and should need supporter tag.
  2. -Users will need supporter to keep the tag in order to continue to play otherwise their score will be reset.
  3. -Thus a constant stream of funds to maintain osu! before it gets published.
  4. -I'll put a download server with all currently ranked and sorted beatmaps by folder (I'll make every week an updatepack to fill up the latest ranked songs)
  5. -more testers
We'll get:
  1. -A chance to experience the beginning of osu! for players.
  2. -Fun playing/ranking in osu! against non-impossible odds.
  3. -Maybe every week, a few beatmaps ranked?
  4. -We would like to keep the rankings with scoring as that reflects the beginning of the first osu! experience. (maybe just for a while)
EDIT:
As someone told me that he dont want to be all the time there. Its really okay, it wasnt the idea to play ONLY there, just if you feel to play there.

EDIT2:
maybe up to ~300 players
This mean that only 300 players could login at the same time. AFK'ers would stay logged in.
Note: I'm not talking about the normal osu!

If we did that, score ranking = how much combo you have in The Unforgiving

What do you mean by the unforgiven?

I misspelled, I mean a beatmap that gives about 1 billion score when you FC it. https://osu.ppy.sh/b/156352&m=0 (It was in the test server before, but apparently it got removed from there, while it was in the test server I got #1 score rank by a big amount of score for passing it there).

It dont have to be such hard songs, as the idea was for the non-impossible odds

Seems more demoralizing to only have the choice of competing against other bad players.

Completely right! Thank you anyway for support.

I support this idea ^^
It always sucked a bit when I was new that there was just no way to get anywhere near ranking on insane songs, even now it's not particularly easy

I like this idea (0 votes left :c), and there are actually some pretty decent players there, I've been playing with them too :D. So not just new players. It's also great because its a win-win for the developers of this game; some people will like this better, while at the same time, be testing out the new updates.

This is how it once was when the test build first got announced. Lots of players started playing the newly ranked maps and some testing were done. but the ha.ppy.sh site is pretty dead now, download links for the ranked beatmaps doesn't work any more, scores were reset and the ranked osz2 beatmaps can't even be played any more.
All bug reports and testing from the test build are now being made on this site it seems.

I guess this can be considered if osz2 needs more testing, but it would be nice to have more playable maps to get more players to test stuff.
