Test Copy has always been a temporary server, subject to complete wipes of all characters and guilds. In fact, the Test Copy server started out as a PvP Test server, and while it has been a PvE server for over 2 years now, the PvP switch has been “flipped” a few times for testing of Battlegrounds and PvP content leading up to Sentinel’s Fate.
Despite all cautions to the contrary, some players have built up characters and guilds on Test Copy, so they may be interested to know that another wipe is happening. Test Copy is currently down (we’re a bit late on the news) and when it comes back, we are hearing that it will be in a fresh state for testing, with no characters or guilds.
From Bunji on the EQ2 Forums:
Just a heads up that Test Copy is being brought offline (as early as today) and its database is being wiped.
We’re going to try and get Test Copy back up sometime tomorrow (7/13).
Isnt test copy free to play though? Or was it all exspansions enabled for helping test the game?
