Is 1.6 still gonna be out in January? Or pushed?

And will that be on some test server or official public release?

    Oh great. So that means not January then. How long does the PTS thing last? Do i need a new character on that server to try? Never tried PTS.

    Isn't it still January next week or do I have my current date wrong?

    Every so often they migrate/update existing characters from the live server to the PTS. They mentioned previously doing this when 1.6 goes up on the PTS. If you like you can choose instead to create a new character using a template, which is usually high or max level and tends to comes with boxes full of gold gear and the best potions, etc, in the game.

    The PTS process usually runs 3-4 weeks. EU server characters are currently on the PTS so players on the NA server will need to create new ones. At some point down the road while 1.6 is on the PTS, characters from the NA server will be copied. As for when that happens, look for an update next week.

    I see. Maybe worth a try, at least to check out the champion points to see what i will invest in when its officially released.

    Hope they make them refundable like skill points in case you change your mind.

    I meant why announce a release in January, when its gonna be on a PTS a while first. Why even announce it?

    So people can test it, report bugs, and give feedback about how well it works and what they do or don't like.

    And i suppose any progress made on PTS will not be copied back to the main server. So not really worth doing much on the PTS then, except checking whats coming.

    The point is to catch the broken stuff before it goes live, so yes, it's worth doing. It's primary function isn't to act as your preview but rather to keep potentially game impacting bugs from affecting the characters you care about.
