    The PTS and live servers are two completely different instances. You have lost nothing. It's just an old copy on the PTS.

    Create a template char and you have most everything you need. Nothing you do on the PTS will have any influence on what happens on live servers.

    PTS has a copy of your characters, anything you have on the Live megaserver is fine. Crowns, achievements, etc. are all safe and sound.

    It's basically ZOS copying over your data so you can screw around with/break stuff, but nothing matters on PTS.

    Nope. What you do on PTS stays on PTS. Until it's deleted that is.

    Bummer? No, it's freedom! Check out the Crown Store, everything is like one crown, even the huge homes and the crafting stations to put in them. Assistants, costumes, everything must go! One crown, you buy?

    Do crazy things, gear up like gold is going out of fashion, or explore naked to see how long you last. Nothing on PTS is real, for good or ill, it all goes away pretty fast and no more affects your live account than cutting up a cheap color printout of a photo of the Mona Lisa would harm the actual painting. You can delete characters to make room for others, make new ones or use the template to get one with All the Stuff, tweak builds, your gold and crowns reset daily I believe.

    (Caveat: applies to game mechanics only. Your real account could be impacted if you socially behaved in ways to get banned in game or if you breached the very limited NDA for this PTS).

    Slightly off-topic but does anyone have any idea when they're gonna make a copy of EU characters?

    The purpose of the PTS isn’t to get a head start on your progress in soon-to-be-released content; it’s to test the new content and report bugs. Everything you do on the PTS stays on the PTS.
