The Public Test Server is now available for testing Game Update 2.3: Titans of Industry! You can read about the new content and changes in the Patch Notes.
We’re excited to read everyone’s feedback! Please post your thoughts and/or any issues you find here in the PTS Forums. Also, please don’t forget to use /bug for any issues you encounter, as these are sent directly to our QA team.
For this phase of testing, Character Copy from the live servers is not available, but we plan to make it available later on while Game Update 2.3 is on the PTS.
Thank you for your participation!
