    Ooooo.... what's up? Or should we say what's going down?

    While traipsing through Nektulos one quiet Norrathian morning, Dr. Arcana beckons to you, rather urgently, causing your concentration centered on the day’s adventuring and, more importantly, breakfast to evaporate. Panic and fear are evident in Dr. Arcana’s eyes, and following his gaze reveals the nature of both.


    A portal has been opened, but what could be causing such fear? Take a trip through the portal into a world which has been broken into pieces, like glass that has been shattered.


    During testing on Beta, here are some parts of the Game Update you can test:
    • Test the final enhancements for Miracula Weapons! 
    • 2 New Solo Dungeons
    • Shattered Unrest [Solo]
    • Imprinted Memory: Origins of the Felfeather [Solo]
    • 2 New Heroic Dungeons
    • Shattered Unrest [Heroic I], [Heroic II], [Heroic III]
    • Imprinted Memory: Origins of the Felfeather [Heroic]
    • 15 New Collections
    • 7 New Missions
    • New Achievements
    Join Beta server today to find out what has caused this panic, and how you can help to mitigate any damage it will surely cause.

    We also encourage sharing your feedback and bug reports with us on the forums in the new Beta section.

    If you're interested in participating during a beta test, here are the details about how to do that. Note, the content in Shattered Overture will be level 125 and you will need Renewal of Ro expansion to play.

    To patch and get into the Beta server: 
    • Open your 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 patching has completed. 
    Other Important Information: 
    • Beta installs into a sub-folder 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. 
    • Players who wish to participate in the Game Update beta with their Live characters can use the /beta command in game to copy characters to the Beta server. This process can take up to 1 hour to complete. 
    • If your copied /beta character is not displaying on the Beta server, please create a level 1 character on Beta, log that character in, and then log it out. Copied character(s) should then appear on the character select screen. 
    • The Beta server may not always be accessible as patching and Beta server maintenance will occur whenever it’s necessary. 
    • The Beta server is wiped periodically, meaning Beta characters may be deleted with or without notice. 
    • Anything you do on a Beta server is exclusive to the Beta server, and will not affect your live characters, except when Beta rewards are offered for you to /claim on live.

    it only lets me make a lvl 100 char - not he 125 needed, and can;t find my existing chars
    if i try to load an existing char, and one is used in last Beta, it says can;t find world, then it's sitting at Trying Login Server # 1

    You can't select a character from the launchpad, if that's what you're doing. That list does not come from the beta server. You can only log in to the character select screen on beta, so don't select any character on the launchpad.

    Characters from previous beta tests are erased. You need a new /beta on live (done today or yesterday) to copy one over.

    I can't seem to find where it was posted if it was posted - but following the pattern of the last few years it should be Sept 12th.

    Devs: Is the beta server now closed, or is it still open until tomorrow morning as it would normally be? Or is it just down for an update?
