Hi All,
 
Update 1: 
 
We are currently in the process of testing the NA PvP MegaServer transfers on the PTR realm Warhound.  
 
We'd like all NA players who have the time today to poke around the PTR to hop on and check on their characters.  Please note that the merger we performed was only for NA PvP realms and EU players will not be able to login for testing purposes.  Due to the constraints of the database and the architecture we will be running with MegaServers, it limits our datacenter permissions, so this round of testing will be limited.  
 
Please report all bugs on the PTR Bug Forum.
 
A download link to the PTR can be found here. 
 
Specifically, we are looking for players to take a general pass across all systems and should anything appear out of whack, let us know. 
 
Cheers

I can help later tonight, but jsut so I hit the ground running, will all of my NA characters on pve be transfered over or just a certain character(s) cut off by level and or date?
As example should i expect to see a character created after 3pm EDT on 10/8/2014 on this server or no? Guess rather I'm asking if there was a cut off critera for characters that would be placed on this server and if so what is that criteria.
 
I ask so I can hit the ground running once I'm home and that the information may help with knowing what we should expect to see there upon logging in to said server.

			Why not EU testers? :( Would have loved to test some on EU :(	
----
			I was under the impression that the PTR servers and now the Megaserver was in NA, for EU testers as well. We just have to put up with delays and higher ping etc.	
----
			It's just for this round of testing megaservers or until they give additional permissions and transfer EU database over.

I can probably help out, I'm on a 7-day key right now but I should still be able to log in. Anything specific to test?
 
Edit: Geez I can't read, wow.

			Tried to log on but no realms are available =(.

Hi All,We've run the PvP merger scripts for NA on PTR and Warhound is now available for testing.

While I do understand that feedback should be posted elsewhere, I would like to mention here that the best way to iron out the bugs would be a stress test. When I first logged on, there were about 5 people logged in on the dominion side, including me. This is honestly not enough players. The incentive of boom-boxes, while I don't necessarily like the idea, would do well at attracting players to a focused stress test event. If these Megaservers are similar to the ones in ESO, the phasing functionality would need to be tested, which again can only occur with enough players. Phasing is nasty when it doesn't work correctly.
 
I had 98 boomboxes at launch. I honestly don't need any more, and will test the megaservers regardless, but there are players out there that could use a little push.

			Ok logged into PTR to find the same problem I have in the normal game.  Nobody is playing it.
