We are pleased to let you know that the Chains of Eternity Beta server is now open for everyone.  Come and get a look at the new expansion!Here's some additional info to get your started (thanks Bunji):Beta Server Details:

•     The Beta server may not be accessible at all times.
•     This server is wiped periodically, meaning all current characters will be deleted.
•     You can copy your Live and/or Test characters over to the Beta server.

•     Buffers available
•     Free Marketplace
•     Grants Gold Membership (all classes and races available)
•     Grants free Alternate Advancement respecs
•     Claims are disabled

To patch and get into the Test or Beta servers:

•     Start your live launchpad
•     In the top-left corner, click the ‘Version’ link which will open the ‘Select Game Version’ panel
•     In the drop-down you can choose ‘Beta’ or ‘Public Test’ then hit ‘Apply’ to patch the corresponding server

How to copy your Live and/or Test character over to the Beta server (two different ways):

•     You can click the 'Beta Copy' button on the character create screen to copy the currently selected character.
•     You can log in your character and then use the /beta command.

 Notes:

•     Beta installs into a subfolder requires about the same amount of space your live install takes.
