	Hi all, I just reactivated membership, and it's working fine on the live server. But on PTS I'm still in 'free' mode (character naked, 'Click here to join' banner on the bottom right of the screen). Does anyone have an idea how long it takes for membership to become active on PTS? I can't wait to try some PvP, but without any items I would be a more dead than alive

	The player files are only copied to the PTS sporadically. Usually right before the patch is released. Seems like you were to late in making your account a member. Not sure if they are planning on copying them again for this build. Usually not though. -------------------- JoeB - Level 100 - Confused about my professional orientation - FINALLY Mearlin - Level 29 - Mage

	I don't think it's a character issue, cause my character is copied properly onto the PTS. It's only the member status that needs to be changed.

But your member status was most likely copied from the backup from yesterday (or the day before). If you are a member on live servers and not in PTS this would be the only explanation I can think of. Pretty sure someone had a problem with this on a previous build in PTS but not sure if it ever made it on forum. The oposite should also hold true though.

	Never even saw a choice for membership only server. Only had PVE and PVP choices when I logged in.

	Problem seems to be fixed now Too bad there's nobody on the PvP server at the moment.

	Still do not see membership servers when logging in. Removed game and resinstallled into different directory. NO change. Listing only shows PVP and PVE, and I am a member, at least on the 83 build. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is not showing up? GW

The public test servers are there to give you a peek at what's coming, so that you aren't surprised, to help us look at things like game balance, and to get feedback on same. Part of that feedback comes from nonmembers, so it didn't make sense to have a members-only PTS world.

If you look at the changes noted here, you will see that members only servers are supposed to be in this build. So, why do you post this when it is GOING to be in the game. If you read the interview with the dev's they also state that members only servers will be in the game, and they explain why.

	yes, I see it as we will have them when this chunk goes live. they didn't need that tested so it is not on the test server to be tested out. I would guess we will see this when it hits the LIVE Servers. -------------------- Artimus (level 100)

Quick clarification: I'm the one who did that explaining.

[NC]Anson: I see members-only servers as a pressure valve, a way to "get away for awhile" but still play the game. I don't really see it as something that members spend most of their time on, avoiding the lowly non-member peons. Instead, I generally see members playing on the regular servers most of the time and enjoying the other benefits of membership.

[NC]Stephen: Indeed. It's a nice escape, not a forced thing.

There will be a Members-Only world in the regular game once Chunk #1 is live, but there is not a Members-Only PTS world - for the reasons I mentioned above.
