PTR

The PTR (Public Test Realm) is a test server for testing bigger content drops. The PTR is located in the Dallas Data Center. "Boost" NPC's will be available in Nexus that will level players up and provide gear. The PTR is a place to visit and check out new content, not live. Character wipes may be needed on the PTR from time to time and player's progress on this Realm may be lost.

Availability
The PTR should be up and available 24/7, with downtime as necessary (similar to any other Realm). Should this change, an announcement will be made. The server may need to be taken down at a moment's notice for updates.

Support
Since the PTR is a testing realm, the support team will not be able to help with any item restorations, bugs, lost progress, stray Rowsdowers, or anything else. If an issue is encountered on the PTR, the best thing to is submit a bug on the PTR forums and move on.

Test client
The PTR uses a separate client than the live client. The PTR client can be downloaded here: http://wildstar.patcher.ncsoft.com/PTR/WildStarPTR.exe
