It’s that time! The beta test for Terrors of Thalumbra starts on Tuesday, October 20, 2015. This will be ready for players on Tuesday in the early afternoon.

Terrors of Thalumbra Beta

Everyone that pre-orders Terrors of Thalumbra gets immediate access to the beta server once it goes live. Playing Terrors of Thalumbra on the Beta server also has perks for your live server accounts! There is more information coming soon about the rewards players will be able to earn by testing expansion content on beta.

Here is some information to help you get started in Beta:

How to provide testing feedback:

  • Use the /bug or /feedback command in game to open a window and submit information
  • Post issues and suggestions in the Terror of Thalumbra Beta Forums (Note: You have to be active in the beta to be able to post on these forums)


How to set up a test character for beta:

  • Beta buff merchant is available on the Freeport and Qeynos docks or at character creation points in Halas, Neriak, Gorowyn, and Kelethin.
  • Beta buffer will give you the option to teleport to the Village of Shin to start your tradeskill questline, or to Neriak or Greater Faydark to start the adventuring quest line.


How to copy your character over to the Beta server:

  • Log in your character and then type the /beta command. Beta copy will be available after the beta server is ready


To patch and get into the Beta servers:

  • Open your station 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 the patching completes


Other Key Points:

  • Beta installs into a subfolder 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.
  • The Beta server may not be accessible at all times, as patching occurs when it is necessary.
  • The Beta server is wiped periodically, meaning Beta characters may be deleted with or without notice.

 

We look forward to hearing your feedback about Terrors of Thalumbra and seeing you on the Beta server!
