Oh…Thanks!



You know what's fun? Playing with the new content before it goes live.
Turbine invites it's subscribers to play on a new test server:

This
weekend, we will be opening the Risia Test Server, where you
can check out new content before it hits the live servers! Risia will
open up on Friday, September 15 and will feature the newest content
from the upcoming Stormreach Under Siege update! Risia will come online
on Friday afternoon and be available until Monday, September 18 at 9:00
AM Eastern.




To help populate Risia, we have merged characters from four servers
into it: Thelanis, Khyber, Argonessen and Fernia. This character data
was captured on Tuesday, September 12, and will not reflect any
progress made since this date.




Thelanis was used as the base server for this merge. In the event of
name conflicts, characters from Thelanis will retain their names while
characters from other servers will have their server name appended to
their character name. So, for example, "Sporkfire" from Khyber will be
renamed "Sporkfire-Khyber", while "Sporkfire" from Thelanis will stay
"Sporkfire".




If you don't have any characters on these servers, don't worry! For
this weekend, all characters will gain 10 times the normal experience
from adventuring on Risia! You'll be part of the big leagues in no
time!




We will use the Risia Test Server periodically in the future to
allow customers with paid subscriptions the opportunity to preview new
content and features in DDO. Please note that this is a test server and
you may encounter gameplay and technical issues when playing. It may
sometimes be necessary to erase characters from this server. Characters
transferred to or created on Risia will not transfer back to any of the
live servers. Turbine will offer limited Customer Service for this
server, but you are encouraged to report any bugs that you find on it
through the in-game bug-reporting tool. The DDO End User License
Agreement, Terms of Service and Code of Conduct apply to this server,
just like the live servers.
