Just when we thought we were done with The Consumer back in the Xebrith Tendril region of the Void and in Gerion, the Plane of Avarice, they are back and more determined than ever to move forward with their plans. Join us from March 10, 2026 at 12:00 pm (noon) PT until March 23, 2026 at 3:00 pm PT for an Open Beta test to help stop them!
This beta test will be a great chance to check out what is coming. It’s also worth noting that you will need to own the latest expansion to participate in this Game Update. Head to our expansion landing page if you need to purchase Rage of Cthurath, so you're ready to participate in the beta when the time comes! More details will emerge as we get close to the Beta Date; stay tuned!
To get yourself ready for this Open Beta Test, here are the details about how to do that.
To patch and get into the Beta server:
- Open your LaunchPad.
- In the top-left corner, click the 'Version' link which will open the 'Select Game Version' panel.
- Choose 'Beta' in the drop-down menu and then hit 'Apply' to begin patching.
- Hit 'Play' once patching has completed.
Other Important Information:
- Beta installs into a sub-folder that takes about the same space as your live game version.
- Remember to set the 'Version' back to your regular setting to access your normal server.
- Players who wish to participate in the Game Update beta with their Live characters can use the /beta command in game to copy characters to the Beta server. This process can take up to 1 hour to complete.
- If your copied /beta character is not displaying on the Beta server, please create a level 1 character on Beta, log that character in, and then log it out. Copied character(s) should then appear on the character select screen.
- The Beta server may not always be accessible as patching and Beta server maintenance will occur whenever it’s necessary.
- The Beta server is wiped periodically, meaning Beta characters may be deleted with or without notice.
- Anything you do on a Beta server is exclusive to the Beta server, and will not affect your live characters, except when Beta rewards are offered for you to /claim on live.
