    Glorious Alpha Two testers! The Private Test Realm (PTR) is now available on Steam! If you have Ashes of Creation in your library, you should now also see “Ashes of Creation PTR” in your library as well. Installing both Ashes of Creation and Ashes of Creation PTR will take up more space on your computer, so please make sure you have room before downloading this test environment. The PTR is where new features and bug fixes will be released. On the PTR you can expect frequent character wipes, more bugs as we test features that are in development, and focused testing of specific game systems. Information about PTR testing will generally be shared in the Ashes of Creation Discord. Make sure that you have connected your Intrepid account to Discord to participate. The PTR is no longer under any kind of NDA. Feel free to share screenshots, record videos, or stream your experiences on the PTR. We’re grateful for everyone that’s able to join us for testing on the PTR, and thank you for helping us shape Verra! — The Ashes of Creation Team ==================================
