Dear friends!

 We know that your have been looking forward to it and now Epeisodion update is almost here!

 We are happy to announce that PTS (Public Testing Server) with Epeisodion update is now open and Opened Beta Testing for Core server has started!

 Here is what you need to do in order to participate:

 1) Read this whole message carefully!

 2) Read this post to find out how you can access PTS server.

 3) Check out this thread where you can post any bugs you find.

 The version of the game that you will find installed on PTS is not the one that will be released on LIVE. It’s really important that you understand the risks and inconveniences that come along with it:

 1) At early stages an update contains a lot of problems (both localization and functional ones, to the point of complete absence of part of the contents);

 2) PTS is a work environment, that means that:

 - the server can be temporarily down (e.g., for installation of new patches) with or without notice. By the way, if you can’t find the NPC Test Server Helper Mr. Cat in place , it’s a sign of a recent server shutdown. He has not been put into place yet (it is done manually).

 - there is a testers team working at the server and their work has the priority. For any attempts to interfere with their work or pretending to be one of them you will be punished (on the PTS). The testers can be identified by their clan: TestingGroup, TestingGroup1, TestingGroup2 etc, or similar title.

 Summing up: if you don’t want to risk and want to enjoy the stable version, you better not visit the PTS and wait for the update to be released on Live.
