Which time of the day does the test start?

We're in the process of getting it spun up now. The main stickied thread will be updated once it's live and verified.

If this goes live I would expect many people will just move elsewhere and you will get a lag free (although empty) cyro map as people just hit the uninstall button.
I would suggest that this test is already doomed to go into the trash heap of bad ideas - Why not just cut it short now? -and save us the frustration of a week of this crap.

Out of curiosity and mild amusement.. Zenimax why are you conducting these tests in Cyrodiil during the Imperial City PvP event? No one is playing in Cyrodiil because of this, does this not defeat the purpose of these tests? Especially stress testing how these tests would ultimately effect large scale coordinated play, with ball groups etc.?
I am dumbfounded really at the timing of this event, I don't know what the logic of this is really... Am I missing something here?

Some of the organized group PVP guilds in Cyro have decided to not bother with this since it is so frustrating having cooldowns on skills.
I suspect these tests are just getting people ready for the changes they have already decided to implement. These "tests" likely are just getting the cyro population ready for radical changes to the combat which will kill off the remaining population of people that enjoy the UNresponsive combat and the large siege LAGGfare that cyro is.
Sadly, the thing that I'm finding most disheartening during this first test is that it simply isn't fun. I find myself staring at my skill bars more than the actual game environment, and I just don't find that at all enjoyable.
I'd also like to know why single-target skills like Honor the Dead, Rapid Regen, and Healing Ward are somehow considered AOE while Proxy Det is not. The logic behind what the game considers to be an AOE and what is not makes no sense.
