Greetings all,

Starting today we’ll be performing a connected realm test on the PTR and we’re looking for as many players as possible to help. A new temporary realm named ‘Temporus’ will be coming online from 6/23 until 6/26. Character copy is enabled on this realm, we would like you to copy your Live characters over to this realm via the ‘Character Copy’ button, log in, and take stock of your character’s gear and progress, including:

• Completed quests
• In-Progress quests and current progression
• Current gear loadout
• Achievements (both earned and in-progress)
• Pets and mounts

Then, on Monday 6/26 the realm will come down and we’ll be connecting Temporus to the other PTR realms. Once complete, we’ll need those participating to log back in and check our work! Please comment below with your findings. We’re especially interested in finding out if anything is missing, or if there are any gameplay progression issues and other things of that nature.

Thanks in advance for your participation! Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

We usually end up missing achievements, mounts, pets, toys, etc. from live when copying to PTR even if we also copy account data first. Professions also will bug out and not copy over at all sometimes.

Are you just wanting to know what's missing between what made it to the PTR this weekend and what's on the character after the connection is done on Monday, or did you want to know what's missing from the initial copy to the PTR as well?


Character copies are a bit shaky at times and sometimes have stale data. For this specific test we're focusing on the differences between your character/account before and after the realm connection.
