GR and beta

I have a couple questions about this.

If you get into beta...do you copy one of your characters there?
If so, does anything you do in there count towards your live character?

Say if I got into GR beta and used my main and did the whole side switching thing...would that character be switched for live?

Everything you do on Test Server stays on Test. Nothing gets transferred to Live Servers. Believe me if it were that easy we'd all be happy because things cost like 1 inf. on test lol.

No - what happens on Test stays on Test.

Yes, you can make new toons, or copy over existing ones... but once you do, it is essentially a different character on a different server.

No, nothing you do on one character affects the other one.

What happened for the COV beta was:

1) 'normal' server was kept up and running for any incremental patches.
2) The COV test server install overwrote the normal client install.

Obviously there was no server transfers into COV testing, ans no-one had villains available.

There are very good reasons for keeping test available for incremental patches during the much longer beta for a boxed expansion testing.

Without a redname answer one way or the other, we simply don't know at this time. It makes sense to me that we could transfer characters to the GR test, but there is nothing official either way.

The other thing they could do, which they did a couple times in the betas, was copy a live server's worth of characters over. It stinks if you don't have any or the ones you want though.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Actually you can copy window settings, options, keybinds, costumes, and power customizations between the live and test servers.

Same holds true for AE files. However depending on the files, this isn't a good idea when there's differences between the Test build and Live.
