This weekend, we’ll have our first closed beta test for TERA. For this occasion, we want to talk about the important information related to this test phase. Remember to also check out our complete planning for all CBT sessions.

CBT 1 will be held from Friday, 17th of February 2012 to Sunday, 19th of February 2012.

Our severs will be available within the following timeframes on each test day:

• 15:00 / 3 pm to 00:00 / midnight

All times are CET / GMT +1.

We’ll have three servers active with a level cap of 22. CBT 1 will feature two PvE servers and one PvP server.

PvP server details:

• Duel & group duels are available
• PK system is active
  • Players will be able to obtain the necessary outlaw skill for PK at level 11 in Velika. Please note that there is a small bug related to the quest for obtaining this skill. You’ll need to find a specific NPC which nameplate is currently not displayed correctly. If you read the quest description you should still be able to find the correct NPC without a proper nameplate and interact with it. This issue will be fixed in future updates.
  • Player protection is active up to level 10.
  • No penalty for player kills on PvP servers.
• Guild versus Guild system active
  • Cooldown timer: 24 hours
  • Duration of battle: 24 hours
  • Points required for victory: 2000 (guild master kill: 10 points / member kill: 1 point)

The PK and guild versus guild system is not active on PvE servers.

Everyone will be able to create 2 characters on each server. CBT 1 will be conducted on the English client. Later tests will include a higher level cap, more character slots and localized clients. Your characters won’t be deleted until the end of CBT 5.

Everyone who redeemed a valid pre-order or CBT key will be able to participate at CBT 1.

There is still time to pre-order the game and receive a key, just take a look at our pre-order page.

We’re already looking forwarding to seeing you again in TERA this weekend!
