I logged on today and the character I established a couple weeks ago is gone and I am only presented with the option to create a NEW character.

Why is this?

    every time zos puts new content on the pts server it is given a complete reset.

    you can create a lvl 50 toon with max cp by using a template If I recall it is at the top left of the creation screen

    ok, I wasn't aware it was a complete reset every time. Rather frustrating, imho. Oh well.

    Oh! So it's just a delay before the character will be added back?

    No, all characters on the PTS get deleted permanently with every reset.

    Eventually you'll get another copy of your live character on the PTS but any progress you made on the PTS is always lost when a new cycle begins.

    The only time the PTS was permanent was during the super secret in-house Psijic Order beta from October 2013 to PC launch April 2014 were a select few had access to the PTS for 6 months straight.

    Do people even bother getting back on PTS when everything is wiped like this? Or do most people just wait for character transfers?

    most people that use the PTS use the template to make a character and to try out the new stuff - that's ideally what it is for
