Aion's Play Test Server (PTS) was brought down last week to add the new expansion update Assault on Balaurea. However, the PTS database will be completely reset as a result and all PTS characters and Legions will be removed. Luckily, the progression rates on PTS have received a significant boost, so leveling up shouldn't take quite so long.
PTS is scheduled to reopen on August 18th, 2010 with the new expansion in place and ready for some testing. Assault on Balaurea is scheduled to deploy to live servers on September 7th, 2010.
