1. We have a dedicated Player Test Environment on our QA server available for player use. This server will be kept open with periodic database resets, when we will copy the database from the live server. The server database will be updated at least twice a month during a scheduled maintenance window.

    Though players are welcome to use the QA server to experiment or test anything they wish, we will post patch notes and testing directives in this area. Players testing new content, features and systems will greatly help in reducing post release bugs and making the game better.

    To assist players in helping us make the game better, the Test Server will award login bonuses in CotOs and Gold coins to allow players to purchase resources or anything they may need to test from the Crown Store and/or from the in game vendors. In Addition, the Developers will announce dates/times when Dev Assisted Player Test Events will occur on the QA Server.

    Please use the Test Environment Bug and Feedback forums for QA Server activities only.

    You can help test by downloading a new SotA Launcher(QA) installer to download a separate QA copy of the game. It exists independently from the regular live version of the game and installs to a separate folder. To use the Player Test Environment, please download the QA Server client here:

    Windows: https://d2sx9mrt4zumaq.cloudfront.net/Installers/SotAInstaller(QA)-1.2.0.exe

    As we get new processes in place for the Player Test Environment, we will be more consistently posting QA patch notes and specific items we are looking to have tested on QA.

    This will be incredibly useful to us and to the playerbase as time goes on.

    Currently the following items should be on QA and we are looking for verification they are functioning as expected:

    1. Elementals and pets should now keep their names once you log out. Issue#67002
    2. Pets should no longer default to the Follow command everytime you enter a scene. Issue#67003
    3. Water Wells are now usable when placed as POT deco.
    (applied to the Wishing Well, the standard Water Well, and the Isabelline Stone 2-Tier fountain
    4. Attempting to lock/unlock item to/from inventory while it is Packaged for Trade resulted in the item becoming red

    Please be sure to post bugs for these in the Player Test Environment if they are still not operating as expected.
