Ryzom: Access to the Advanced Test Server

From the Official Site...

The Advanced Test Server (ATS) is up and running with a version of Patch 1!
# But what about Patch 1 more precisely? Player Vendors (NPCs you can offer your goods for sale through)
# Theme Music
# Magician Glove
# Mounts for the GMs
# Tuning and balance for magic users - less expensive spells, a refund for certain spells, will need to redo some purchases & stanzas to adjust.
The world becomes a more dangerous place. Creatures have their own agendas. Be careful. They just got a bit better organized!

Only Pre Orders Customers and the Elder of Atys can access ATS.
In order to play on ATS, you need to have a specific client. It will not work with your regular SoR client.
In a nutshell:
# Download http://patch2.nevrax.com/ryzom_test.exe (roughly 1.14 Go)
# launch ryzom_test.exe, choose a destination folder (make sure you have enough free space)
# Then double click on client_ryzom_rd.exe in the folder you extracted it to
# Enter your login and password
# Select Advanced Test Server et voilą!
1-2 weeks after landing on the advanced test server - Patch 1 goes live!
