Test Server doesn't like me =\

IIRC, Test is not open yet. Many of the new features are in the Character editor, so they apparently made sure they could restrict access to that as well.
well that sucks, was told that the character creator still had access open =\

Normally it does. This time it apparently doesn't. There might be a few threads about it in the Test Server forum.

That's incorrect. In the last posts from Castle and Babs on this subject, the Devs always wanted to complete restrict the closed beta to the players invited to them; but they were unable to figure out how to block the character creator until recently. So, from this CoX closed beta forward, I would expect the character creator to be blocked until you're either:
1) Invited to the given closed beta
or
2) The open beta phase starts

Whether or not it was intended behavior before is beside the fact that it normally would have been possible to access it, but now you can't. And there are certainly threads about this in the forum I mentioned, including the posts that you are referring to.

"Normally is does" is now incorrect as that won't be the case for any future closed beta sessions; as it gives the impression character creator access will be back. Going what by what the Devs had sid, it will not.

And if you want to split hairs, "normally it does" is still true, as it was referring only to previous releases (as indicated by circumstances of "This time..." being explained separately) and still conforms to the standard of costume creator being available in those previous releases. The fact that it WILL no longer be the norm, is irrelevant in this usage. If you took it the wrong way, I'm sorry.|

I didn't mention anything about future test releases in my post, and my direction to look in the Test Forum can provide anybody with the same information you "corrected me" with. Yes, your more-specific information was useful for you to add to this thread, but it doesn't make my post incorrect in any way.
Haven't logged on to Test since the Dominator buffs were there. Been wanting to get on to play with the new character creator...but every time I select the Training Room...I always get a Lost Connection to DBserver message...
I'm dreading having to reinstall Test...
