The former EU Test server has been Internally re-purposed...
I would assume it's getting converted into the new VIP server for COH:Freedom

Not quite correct. Before the merger, there were three 'extra' shards that players could access: NA Test, EU Test, and NA Beta.|

I often used the test server to test out new builds and play with the game freely knowing its not going to effect my real characters. And since you used to run two servers it shouldn't take a stretch of the imagination to get the other back up again (: |
Now, there are two: Test (the old NA Test) and Beta.
I think you are looking for the Test server.

The Beta server is currently locked for the purposes of testing Issue 21: Convergence.
You can load it up, keep it updated, etc., if you wish. You just can't access it unless you are beta testing I21.

So there is still a test server and a separate Beta server?
