    The Public Test Server is live! Join your fellow players and help us test the newest content for Arcane Legend before it is released to the masses!*

    *The Public Test server is currently only available for players on Android devices.

    STATUS REPORT (6:49 pm CDT): We appreciate your patience as we continue to work through the bugs on the test server. We understand that lagging and game crashes are frustrating but the various crashes and sign-in errors are helping us uncover valuable information/bugs to help us make the servers more stable. Please continue to bear with us. We are working to stabilize the test environment to give you the best possible play experience.

    How to Join the Public Test Server

    1. Follow the instructions in the article here, to allow installs from "unknown sources" on your Android device This will allow you to download and run the test server: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/...t%22-downloads

    2. On your Android device go to: http://account.spacetimestudios.com/...egendsTest.apk to download the Test Server application.

    3. Open the application and log in to your Spacetime Studios account as normal. You're in!


    What to Know Before You Begin

    Characters
    We will took a snapshot of the server on Wednesday morning at 6 a.m. CDT. All characters that you had on the live server were be saved at that time and will appear on the test server as they were when the snapshot was taken, including skills, gear, inventory etc. Any changes that happened after that time will not be reflected on the test server. Also, any and all changes to your character that happen on the test server will not affect your character in the live game.

    All players on the public test server will automatically be set to level 41, regardless of level on the live game. This will ensure that the limited number of players on the server will be on the same playing field and able to run through game content together.

    Account
    You will need a REGISTERED Spacetime account to play on the Public Test Server. Characters on trial accounts will not be accessible. If you were playing on a trial account and did not register before the server snapshot this morning, you will not be able to access your character. However, you are still able to access the Public Test Server and create a new character if you'd like.

    PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, only registered STS (e-mail) accounts and Facebook bound accounts were transferred into the test server. Players with registered Google Play accounts can still access and play the game, but will need to create a new character in order to do so. New characters will automatically be set to lvl 41 and given 2,000 Platinum to gear up. Please follow this tutorial on how to navigate the new user experience on the test server: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/...i-participate-

    Platinum
    All test server participants will receive 2,000 platinum to use during the duration of the test. Using this platinum does not affect your platinum balance in the real game, and likewise your platinum on the test server will not be available in the live game. This platinum is granted so that you can take full advantage of the game on the test server in the limited time it is available.

    What happens when it is all over?
    The public test server will close on Monday, 8/18. At that time, you may remove the application by following these instructions: http://support.spacetimestudios.com/...ation-android- . You will be able to return to the live game at any time during or after the public test, but again, none of the changes from the test server will carry over to the live game.

    Finding Other Players
    The devs have created a guild called The Guild that all players may join while on the test server. This will help you to find other people playing online and coordinate runs, arena trials, etc. And, typing in guild chat with /g will allow you to chat with other players who are online at the same time as you.

    What's New on the Public Test Server

    Planar Arena Update
    New environment, New Achievement, New boss, New gear. Please play the new Arena and let us know what you think.

    Ankhs
    Ankh kits can now be purchased in the store. These kits are tradable and once open grant a new Ankh currency type which can be used to Revive or Revenge in place of platinum.

    Combat Cleanup
    The AL Tech Team has cleaned up combat code. These are “behind the scenes” changes, but we want to let you know so that if you see something weird, you can tell us about it.

    Other “Behind the Scenes” Changes:
    Besides Combat, there have been other “behind the scenes” changes. This may affect the User Interface or the Consignment Shop. If you see anything weird or not working the way you expect it, please let us know. Thanks!

    We encourage you to put a focus on playing the new content, but make sure to play the other maps and use the other features to help us insure that there weren't any unexpected glitches as a result of our "behind-the-scenes" code changes.

    Play with the Devs!

    We're excited about the test server and we want to play too! On Friday, August 15th at 11 a.m. CDT the Spacetime Devs will be streaming live on Twitch.tv as they join the test server and play with all of YOU! Players will be selected for parties at random from the game guild "The Guild" throughout the day as we adventure through the newest Arcane Legends content and broadcast it to the world. Keep an eye out for an announcement post and full schedule later this week.

    How to Submit Feedback and Report Bugs

    We have created a sub-forum reserved specifically for Test Server feedback. That can be found here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/foru...erver-Feedback.

    This should be used for bug reports, feedback, suggestions, and discussing the test server with other players. The more feedback you give us, the more improvements we can make, so don't be shy! Let us hear what you have to say!

    Customer Support

    The Public Test Server is not a full service game server. Customer support is not available within this server. Please do not consider this a regular game play server. Test Server will have limited availability during specific public tests. There will be no restoration of characters, items, pets, etc. that could be lost for any reason. Please use the Test Server Forum (above) to communicate with the devs about any problems you experience.

    That being said, the Spacetime ToS still apply. If you break the Terms of Service, there will be repercussions.
