The Accessing Singularity section of the article makes no sense (I have cleaned it up now so it's actually accurate). -- Gradivus

Instructions still don't work. =(

they lack some critical info for both windows and macintosh users. I've included the full instructions from the Eve-O website below, yet have no idea how to make wiki's work.. behold.

Windows:

   * Create a separate folder for your test client ( i.e "C:\evetest")
   * Copy everything from your original EVE folder (by default locate  at "C:\Program Files\CCP" ) to the new ("C:\evetest"). This step is important, since patching the test client will render it incompatible with the Tranquility server.
   * Go to this webpage to download patches for Singularity
   * Go to this webpage to download patches for Multiplicity
   * Download the "Download TQ to Singularity Patch" or the Multiplicity one if you are going to test on that server.
   * Apply the patch to the correct EVE installation such as "C:\evetest". You will be promted to point to the appropriate installation folder.
   * Create a shortcut for the new eve.exe file inside C:\evetest,
   * Right click on the shortcut and select properties, then select the Shortcut tab 
   * add /server:87.237.38.50 for Singularity and press OK
   * add /server:87.237.38.51 for Multiplicity and press OK
     The final look of the Target line would look something like this ( Different between client locations )
     "C:\evetest\eve.exe" /server:87.237.38.50
   * Then double click on the shortcut and log in. 

Macintosh:

   *  Download the Tranquility client: http://www.eveonline.com/download/  (If you have already installed the EVE Client, skip to step 3 )
   * Install the Tranquility client
   * Rename your install to "EVE Online TQ" or something of your choice
   * Install another copy of EVE Online, download the client here http://www.eveonline.com/download/
   * Rename that to "EVE Online Singularity" or something of your choice
   * Go here: http://www.eveonline.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity
   * Download the latest Tranquility to Singularity patch
   * Execute it and point it to the install called "EVE Online Singularity"
   * Note that the client you just patch changed name to "EVE Online" again. So, rename it to "EVE Online Singularity" again
   * Run the client.

The QA's needs?

O the second paragraph it says "depending on the QA's needs." what is a QA? What does it need? Demonrok Angel 16:52, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Reformulated to "...the needs of the CCP QA department". QA stands for Quality Assurance. --CCP Habakuk 16:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I tried writing it in full "Quality Assurance department". It would be good for that sentence if it said when those mirrors were made. I have just recently started using the Singularity server and between now and the last time my skills were copied over I trained many things like stealth bomber skills, drake skills, all my navigation etc. Just wondering what sort of timeframe before those skills will update.
