[System] Testing - anyone know what this means?

So, I was merrily clearing out the Daedric ruin near narsis, when the word testing appears in the middle of my screen in yellow - in the same way you get a notification about holds being won and lost in cyrodiil.

In the chat window, it said "[System] Testing", also in yellow.

Any idea what this is about?

    If I were to guess.. I would say they were running a system test.

    Possibly. I was not on the PTS. But it is quite late on a night, so perhaps they figured it was as good a time as any to do this, especially as maintenance is due tonight.

    Although, I asked if anyone else saw it and no-one responded.

    Later on, some guy asked the same question, and no-one other than me responded...

    Interesting!

    Well I saw it on NA server and just assumed they were doing a test of some kind. Go figure.

    It was on the EU one aswell. It basically means nothing to you. Some Admin just tested if this function actually still works or something.

    That's what I told the second guy that asked :-D.

    I just wondered if anyone knew WHY this was being tested. Are they planning public service announcements?

    "Mai'q, son of Mai'q, has been spotted enjoying the waterfalls in Stonefells!"

    "Molal Bal unleashes yet another dark anchor into The Alik'r Desert!"

    "Shop at The First Edition for all your favourite novels..."

    They might wanna use it to announce some stuff in the future or something. Nobody knows, besides some ppl at zenimax.
    Maybe they wanna do some events. who knows.

    When I was a system admin of a MMO, my 'test' message was "Quick, look out behind you".

    It means you can ignore that message.

    Normally get that when they are Security testing the servers with a 'dummy' hack. Look's like they were caught out recently so i'd guess the security dev's got their backsides kicked slightly ;)
    Being First is not the prize, it just mean's everyone can stab you in the back.
