Post-release: Test Server?

[BrotherAlien]

Just wondering if there was going to be a test server at some point after the 16th? Obviously there will be fixes/additions rolled out after release that require testing rather than just dropping into live.

It would probably require the ability to import our current save so we're not having to start from scratch. Probably a small incentive to get players to test rather than play on live too, something minor like an exclusive skin after x hours of testing?

Has anything been mentioned on this yet?

I quite like the idea of being reimbursed for testing, considering the trade off before release is you get to play it early.

Its actually a fairly skilled job to test well, but in this case i am assuming they have a group of testers/hardcore fans who'll do it for the love, that and they have a ton of bugs already? I can't see the full list on the bug tracker.
