Time-Locked Expansion Beta Servers are NOW Available!

Want to get a preview of the new Time-Locked Expansion (TLE) servers, and give us your feedback? If so, you’re in luck because the TLE beta servers are now LIVE!

Note: An All Access membership is required to access these beta servers. Progress made on the beta servers won’t carry over when these servers go live. When Stormhold (PvE) and Deathtoll (PvP) open to players, these will be fresh servers and all players will have the opportunity to start here together!

Your beta feedback is important to us, and it helps us make our game better!

How to provide testing feedback:

Use the /bug or /feedback command in game to open a window and submit information

Are you interested in Beta testing now? If so, here’s the info to help you get started in Beta!

To patch and get into the Beta servers:

• Open your station Launchpad
• In the top-left corner, click the 'Version' link which will open the 'Select Game Version' panel
• Choose 'Beta' in the drop-down menu, and then hit 'Apply' to begin patching
• Hit 'Play' once the patching completes

Other Important Information:

• We’ll be testing a queue system for EverQuest 2 during this time. Don’t be alarmed if you have a short wait when logging into these beta servers.
• Beta installs into a subfolder that takes about the same space as your live game version.
• Remember to set the 'Version' back to your regular setting to access your normal server.
• The Beta server may not be accessible at all times, as patching and beta server maintenance will occur whenever it’s necessary (and sometimes without notice).
• The Beta server is wiped periodically, meaning Beta characters may be deleted with or without notice.

…

So what are you waiting for? After you patch, we’ll see YOU in the beta!

Is Being able to create an Aerykn and Freeblood Intended by the way?

Ugh, I should have figured the que would be insanity.

I take it it's not supposed to look like this?

My queue says 2 minutes and 23 seconds.

It's been saying that for a lot longer than 2 minutes and 23 seconds...

I can create a character, but no servers are available to select.

i have been in queue for at least 5 minutes. Patience I say to myself

Nevermind, I am in

Wait you are in? Did you not have a que?

Is this Queue thing new ? and Will it be the same when server goes live? Just curious. I think i did read somewhere that it was to be intended that there is a longer gueue but not sure?

I never had a queue. I was just booted after running around for a few minutes though

I get no queue notice. No servers listed. Just DEVL warning text. This is not a good sign I take it??

been in queue for about half an hour. outta here for awhile i guess.

I was getting the "DEVL" thing too. I was clicking the create character button at the bottom right of the screen. Instead I clicked the create character button below the create a level 90 character button and it worked. sorry I don't have a screen shot. I hope that makes sense.

I am back in BTW

this seemed appropriate

(from 2004)

Did everyone DL the huge patch to get in?

How about restoring access to the Public Test server. I am still getting Logon Rejected when trying to get to my regular Public Test Server.

Access to the Beta TLE works fine and I created a character there. I notice some classes are not availiable. All classes should be availiable to allow these classes to grow with the creation of the new server. If waiting until later, willsomeone be availiable to assist new players 2 or more years down the line with the starting quests?? I doubt it, so if preferring a class or race you are going to introduce later, that person might as well skip this server or game for gads knows how many years. I do not think that is what is intended. Originally it was stated all classes and races.

Thanks

Yes, but you could pre-patch. I did mine early this morning before work. The only patch I had to do tonight was some 3-second thing, blink and it's gone type patch.
