I played my toon on the pts and instantly had Magika det unlocked and alliance rank 10 I think. I was alliance rank 7 on live, Not sure on the skill points but u do remember gaining a rank and being given a skill point when doing a little fighting
Your alliance rank will not change at all, because they are not changing anything about it. What they are changing is the amount of AP required to raise your Assault and Support skill lines. Those are the ones that will be raised and not your alliance rank.
