Trial 0 was the first trial with the Specialization Experiment plugin, and acted as test trial for the pluginplugin, server, and server.data collection methods. It started on Sunday 20th July, 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Its schedule was to run two 3-hour sessions per day: one starting at 12:00 UTC, and the other at 23:00 UTC.
All participating players were in the same test-group for this trial, and could join during either, or both, time slots.

By its nature as a test trial, there was occasionally downtime when serious bugs or exploits were found, or from other server issues.
For example, Session 8 was paused while an anti-combat logging system was added to the server; and Sessions 11 and 12 were affected by server downtime (the latter session being cancelled).

Session 14, the 13th session, ended on 27th July, 2o25, at 02:00 UTC.

Trial 1 was to be the first full trial for collecting data, after the test Trial 0.

The schedule was kept as two 3-hour sessions a day, but at different times: one starting at 15:00 UTC, and the other at 22:00 UTC. The playerbase predominantly resided in North America or Europe - the times were chosen so each continent had at least one favourable timeslot.
