Also, weren´t the recent replication layer tests quite bad?
Yes? Well, let´s go to the next phase!
What can possibly go wrong!

Even if they have jump gates, it wouldn't necessarily be meshing. It would just be handing over from one-server to another.
Someone did a plugin for NWN2 years ago that would allow you to jump from one server to another while playing on a common world. What would happen is your character would enter a transition point, your character would export, you'd get a loading screen, then spawn in a new location as your character is imported to the new server/location.
So even with jump gates, all it needs to be is an animated (even mini-game playable) loading screen as your character is moved from one server to another.
What absoloute twaddle.
So meshing in their world is basically separate servers that are connected to the same backend? You can't make this up... although apparently CIG can.
Replication layer being the same is irrelevant here. You'd hope anyway that all the relevant backend stuff for the same game would be the same across all servers.
It would be like if you're playing ED and trade prices were different depending on which server you were connected to (and yes, ED does have servers, its not 100% P2P, its hybrid). It would be pants right?
All CIG is saying here is they are doing what just about any MMO does.
CIG once again, reinventing tech, the solution to which has been known and implemented by others for decades, and trying to dress it up as something never been done before.
That is.... i don't know what to even call it.
Leave something in game that can break the game, rather than disabling it, and then punishing people for using it?
If someone hasn't seen that message, they can get banned from their (unpaid) testing, without knowing they shouldn't test something that is in game and to outward appearances can be tested.
The mind boggles.
There is no better test bed than an environment that bears absolutely no resemblance to the production environment!
Technically speaking, they don't have a production environment. Its alpha all the way down.
It gets better:
I'm guessing that means it breaks the game for all the evos in that session. (If it breaks all the live accounts in the PU, that'd be pretty impressive
)
Well, it is server meshing - so maybe 
(Did they every say which servers they were meshing?)

Behold, CIG has just discovered loading screens.
When you have to compare anything to Starfailed to make your thing look good, you already failed spectacularly.
Well, I'm already in Spectrum jail, so ...
Server meshing test patch notes https://robertsspaceindustries.com/...est-static-server-meshing-tech-preview-playte
That's an odd one. Early days for the mission tech to support multiple systems.
I think it's far more likely that upon Avocado choosing which system they want to tootle around in, an intern has to push a Stanton or Pyro rack closer to the single fiber pair leading to teh interwebz, and after peering down the tips trying to see if it's "on", hope they didn't mix them up.
They have already done this with the Idris competition. Par for the course.
I really struggle to understand how some of these bugs can even exist if you have competent devs.
Oh....
