    We'll still have maxed-out character templates to use, but the current plan is to start with NA copies then switch to EU.

    Yeah EU people are so blind and stupid to test it first with character copies...I knew it will be like this but I don't care at least when the update is coming on PTS :D

    No, because they literally just stated today that they have done an EU copy.

    My profile from the NA server was not copied and I created a brand new character to confirm I didn't had acces to it. I would prefer to test the new updates with my veterank account due that the there are limits that a new account cant reach.
    Is it possible that not all accounts are copied?

    Today was an EU copy, not an NA copy. The NA copies are next week. (At which point, the EU copies will be wiped.)

    PTS is currently v1.5.2 (I kid you not, they are actually having the TEST SERVER run an OUT OF DATE build!), so not losing out on anything.

    Nothing wrong. Any previous character copy has been wiped. Just start a new one or use one the templates for a high level character, if you like. Downloading what's there is good, though.
    Been there, got the Molag Bal polymorph.

    Hi everyone! Today, we will be performing a character copy of the European megaserver (as of 1/22/15). No new patch will be implemented at this time. We are still aiming to release Update 6 on the PTS next week. If that changes, we'll let you know!

    In the French topic I saw, that on the PTS release again the US server will have the possibility to try the new update as first. I am sure, that you already stated before, that EU players will have the first test period. What is the truth please?
    When Update 6 hits the PTS, we will perform another character copy during the maintenance to copy NA characters. After approximately one week, we'll copy EU characters. This way, each megaserver has a chance to test the content with their own Live characters.

    OK, let me get this straight. NA server first for one week only and THEN the EU. Does that mean that PTS for only two weeks total before live launch?

    It's really not that much of an issue. Personally I never even use the copied characters, as I always use a template on PTS.

    ZOS you guys really need to move characters that you copy that are in Cyrodiil because you can't log into them unless they happen to be in the one campaign you guys have activated. Would like to test my tank DK but he's stuck in Haderus or Azura's... which isn't active.

    How is it possible to test every abillity when the templates does NOT include maxed out skills ? If you guys really want us to test the new changes and report bugs and find glitches we have to be able to do this simple and fast without having to level up every single abillity from scratch.

    Suggestion, bring up all skills to morph-state, makes it quick and easy to see what abillities are broken and needs to be looked over again.

    Again the NA Chars prefered :(

    Last time only NA could test. EU not, cause their chars were available during live version on PTS.

    This time NA again are the first which can test.

    EU is 2nd class players for ZOS

    We should have at least former copy of EU chars to test PTS

    And don't tell to test with templates, they're just useless (no craftable sets, no skills maxed, ....)

    You want players to test PTS, give us the tools.......

    PTS off, i go back to live server

    @tlegrandb16_ESO‌ Ofc there will be less of an insentive to go and try out the PTS when we cant get our copied characters, but while we are waiting, the least ZOS could do is to give us a template that is maxed out in skills, there is no point in testing the rank2 of lets say templars new finnisher.

    We'll still have maxed-out character templates to use.

    That is total lies - that rubbish you give us has no skill leveled, i even can't choose any morphs of skills, armor you give - just a useless crap, no traits researched to craft anything. Please forgive me for my languagee, but that is a pice of *** and defenatly not a maxed-out character which soposed to help us to help you to test the game and make it better.

    I had my copy on pts before the patch from EU server. Why didnt you just allow us to play with old copies until the new mirroring process is done?

    Also the template characters have no leveled skills at all. So it makes no sense to play pts from EU unless you grind levels for skills.
