So i have a question about the beta server...do i need to copy a character over like the test server? or just make a new 1?

Both. Either. Depends on what you want to test.




Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

Your choice. I think it has an old copy of umm Virtue on it from the last test. Or maybe they cleared that. Anyway it's your call. If you don't copy a character over you'll need to create one starting at level 1 to test it out. That is unless you already have played on the beta server in which case your characters from the last time are probably still there.

Being as some of the things to test are, powerset proliferation, the new tutorial and the new starting arcs, I'd say starting at 1 is a good idea



@Catwhoorg "Rule of Three - Finale" Arc# 1984
@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617

Well I know that some of the power sets are locked until you buy them and they aren't giving us points to test with for a few days. But here is hoping that one or more of the new sets is unlocked. I think time manipulation is unlocked at least.

Anyway I'll be creating a level 1 character because I want to see the new starting arc and zone. After that I'll jump on a higher level character to do more testing.

Actually, Zwill indicated that we will have 10,000 PPs to use for test purchases, and they hope to have it available later today when the open beta begins (a little less than 2 hours from now).

Well, it is now time for you to experience all those changes first hand, for the VIP Beta for City of Heroes Freedom and Issue 21 is starting at 4:00 p.m. PDT ( 7:00 p.m. EDT / 12:00 a.m. BST / 1:00 CEST) on August 9 (August 10 in Europe)!

If you've never accessed our Beta server before or need a refresher, get the latest set of instructions to install it here.

Once that's done, delve into the next evolution of City of Heroes starting from the new Character creator and its myriad of improvements and additions, straight into the brand new combined tutorial and the updated Atlas Park and Mercy Island!

And while you're at it, browse through the Paragon Marketâ„¢ as well as the brand new Paragon Rewards system that supersedes the Veteran Program!

City of Heroes Freedom and Issue 21: Convergence have so much to offer, you will want to make sure you check our Issue 21 Overview page as well as our City of Heroes Freedom mini-site before embarking on the Beta adventure.

We're looking forward to seeing you on the Beta server!
They were even nice enough to give a link to a site that does time zone translation for you.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I would copy over a toon , but also start a new one so you get to see all the new stuff as well.

Which page do you go to go about moving a character over to the Beta server?

This page.

So i try to log in and it tells me that my account has no access to this server (Beta Server 01 ... the only one "up")

Account ***** is not allowed on this server. reason: Public access to this server has been disabled.

So, then i ask, how do i get into the beta ? or is the Public beta servers just down ?

You are on the right one, it is sometimes a bit finicky about letting folks in right now. I have heard that checking the box linking your account to an existing one helps. OTOH, if the store is still down, that may be preventing you from getting validated as a subscriber. One of the problems with betas, things don't work right.
