That is incorrect, there are many changes on the test realm that do not go live.
For example, in the last patch there was a change to the way mana replentishing food/drinks worked in the test realm. Players gave negative feedback about it and it was taken out.
I'd been playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for a couple of months when the hard drive it was installed to went corrupt and lost all file information. The data was still there but all the structure of the files on the disk was gone.
I spent several nights that week with various disk recovery programs trying to get my saves back. In the end what worked was one program which allowed me to view the disk as one massive stream of characters, and a fresh GTA:SA install on a second machine so I could search for strings likely to be in my savegames. I was able to locate the probable beginning and end of my save file and copy/paste it into notepad. I was much relieved when it worked!
