Are we meant to start on the PTS server with no characters

Are we meant to start on the PTS server with no characters.
The reason I ask is that I thought they made disposable copies of our characters from our live game to use on the PTS like they do with Fallout 76 PTS.
So was surprised on logging in to go straight to the character create screen.
Is my PTS game glitching or is this normal?
Thankyou

✭Are you EU? First two weeks of pts use NA copies, next two use EU copies. If you don’t have a character for that server you will have to create a new one.0 -
GuildedLilly✭✭✭I could be wrong-- but it sounds like they're saying the EU character copies won't be ready for players to test until 3 weeks into the PTS, while NA character copies (if you have characters on that sever), will be ready right away when the PTS starts. If you have no characters on NA, or wish to begin your exploration on the PTS before week 3 on EU sever, you'll need to make new characters.
It's not a glitch or a bug, and you didn't do anything wrong-- your character copies just aren't ready yet. You could wait until your character copies are available--or start exploring Deadlands on the PTS with an entirely new one.Grandmaster crafter, alt-o-holic, PC NA/EU, and XB1 NA/EU3 -

Yes this happens everytime we get a new PTS patch.
From Patch X.X.0 till X.X.2 there will be copies of the NA characters.
With Patch X.X.2 we get access to the EU characters and those will be on there until the next big patch gets rolled out.
With tomorrow's patch we'll get the EU copies.0 -

Yep, that’s exactly what I was trying to say.

✭✭✭✭✭This system is done because there is no separate PTS server between EU and NA so the two have to take turns essentially. Due to the fact each server is radically different in what you own and character name pools are separate just squishing the two servers together isn't feasible. You'd get conflicts in the data and other stuff like that.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK2 -

Currently PTS 7.2.1 is on week 2, all PTS patches appear to last 1 week so week 3 is PTS 7.2.2Edited by Maitsukas on October 3, 2021 4:51PMPC-EU @maitsukas

Makes sense thks so it isn't that we get loaded in later. We get loaded alternately into the same server yes. Is there anywhere that explains although so I can understand like what week we are on etc I have looked but can't find anything but patch notes
What date does the EU turn start on?Edited by Onyx_Werewolf_Gnome on October 3, 2021 4:48PM0 -

You can check which week we are on by looking at the date the original patch notes for this update were posted (20th September) and comparing it to a calendar. GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

Only one server has their characters on the PTS at a time and it alternates between NA and EU.
for weeks when your characters are not on the PTS you can make fully leveled characters on the PTS. There is a drop-down menu in character creation to handle this.0
sorry could you explain please
