Asgardians, to arms! We invite you to join us for the first pre-OBT stress test that will start at 2100hrs (+8 GMT) tonight. Just a gentle reminder that all characters – even the ones you use for stress testing – will unfortunately have to be wiped before OBT starts on 3rd Jan 2013.

This wipe is necessary to ensure stability of the game servers and to prevent any data migration issues from affecting your gameplay during OBT. We are still honouring our IGN reservation event, so all players who played CBT and reached at least level 10 will STILL have their IGNs reserved when OBT starts on 3rd Jan 2013.

However, by participating in the stress test, you are playing an important role in supporting us while we resolve all server issues and your hands will help us rebuild Prontera City. Thank you for your amazing support and do join us if you can!

Additional stress test timings will be announced on Facebook so if you can’t make it for this one tonight, stay tuned for more updates on which other sessions you can join. Thank you!
