I just set up a Temporary Test Server for now. It's up and running Monday to Friday 6 AM to 4 PM Pacific Time. Sometimes I will leave it from 11 PM to 4 PM next day, Pacific time too. Additionally, It might be up at other additional times without notice. Later on we will have a server running 24/7, but for now that's what we will have.
Follow the instructions from this post to set up your client.

Please PM me to request the login.wod file, and send me your account details just to verify it's really you.
The server has data from November 19th.
Some notes:
- There is a new .superpowers command, which will set all all your skills at 100, and all your stats to your cap. The skills are reset to whatever you had set your specs to once a skillcap check is made (usually every 5 minutes). If you haven't set your specs, the stats are set to 75.
- All accounts have 7 character slots, so if your account already has 5 characters, I suggest you use the new slots for an elf and a gargoyle so you can test.
- The gargoyles and elves currently get proper starting weapons to match the selected weapon skill, and they work, even the gargish Throwing weapons, but since I haven't finished adding any of the new equipment to the crafting system, they can't be repaired or crafted yet.
- The AoSNecromancy, Focus, Chivalry, Bushido, Ninjitsu, Mysticism and Imbuing aren't implemented yet, they are just placeholders in the skill windows for now. You should be able to set them as specs without problems, though.
- Benson's Oil now works on non-exceptional items, this is for testing purposes.
- I will put lots of gold in the Newbie Box for training and testing.
- I put Four boxes on the Britain Bank desktop: The first with lots of Benson's Oil bottles, the second with Age of Shadows and Samurai Empire armor and weapons, the third with Elven armor and weapons, and the fourth with Gargish armor and weapons.
- Shaving, hair styling and such might not work correctly for Elves and Gargoyles yet, as I haven't looked deeply into it. Please test!
- The architects have deeds for 18x18 house foundations. You can test custom housing with those.
- Tamed polar bears can be mounted.
- The House Value limit has been raised to 10.
- The custom items' graphic entries have been fixed, you will no longer see floor tiles, roof tiles or weird furniture instead of them. If your client is patched properly, you will be able to see the custom items properly.
- Leadership skill use has been moved to the Begging slot, thus freeing the Dischordance slot for implementing that skill in the future. Please test all your Leadership-related buffs and activities to make sure everything's working properly.
- A teleporter to Heartwood has been added to the center of Yew.
- The moongates have been updated, they now have a menu and take you to the main locations of Britannia, Ilshenar, Malas, Tokuno and Ter Mur. Please test all summoning, housing, deed placement and stuff in any realm different than Britannia. If everything works fine in one realm outside Britannia, it will work fine in all others.
- New ships have been added, you can buy them from the shipwright for 1 gp. To board and unboard them, use the ropes found on the ship deck.
