Mistryl posted a thread on the forums detailing the specifics for the PTS launching on March 8th:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Interlude is coming to the Public Test Server on Thursday, March 8!
We appreciate anyone who can spare some time to check out the new update and let us know about any bugs you might encounter.
The Public Test Server will be wiped when it goes down for maintenance for Interlude. Thank you to all of our dedicated Chronicle 5 testers! Your help has been invaluable.
When the server returns with Interlude, the first character you create on an account will be automatically boosted with the following attributes:
* Level 77
* 216,000,000 SP
* 100,000,000 Adena in the warehouse
These bonuses apply to the first character on the account only, and cannot be given to another character even if you delete your first character. Choose wisely!
The test server will also be boosted at four times the normal experience rate, and six times the normal drop rate (including Spoil).
The Event Gatekeepers and Test Server Helpers will be in the villages to help you get started. Mr. and Miss Cat will offer all three class transfers, Noblesse status, and clan levels. Telling the Cat will also be in the Town of Giran to offer S Grade weapons, armor, and accessories for sale.
Castle sieges will be scheduled at a later time.
We encourage all players on the Public Test Server to play as you would on the live servers. While new skills and PvP are also in need of testing, we ask that you use some discretion and not interfere with other testers by excessively PKing. If an NCsoft staff member encounters a player who is interfering with testing, the staff member might take action against the player (such as a chat ban or moving the character to another location).
Please keep in mind that these are our current testing plans, and they are subject to change as needed.
Keep an eye on this forum for more information about Interlude! Thank you!"
