    The Preview server is completely unlinked from the Live server (too much potential for naughty exploits to happen that way).

    Because of this the Preview server does not know who bought what packs so none of those are there (Hero of the North, Guardian, Feywild, and certainly not the Dragonborn). It is ironic though that it does know if you've purchased the Hunter Ranger booster pack - but I suspect because this pack is available in the Zen Market which is directly linked to the game servers.

    I look at it this way: When I play preview server I can see what it's like for someone who has NOT purchased those packs (no Delzoun Main Hand weapon, for example) which allows me to give more accurate feedback to the Devs and such. So the absence of these purchased add-ons is actually kind of helpful, including for Dragonborn Race so we can test how the Race Selection Screen works if you haven;t purchased the pack and give proper feedback, etc.

    There was a post a while back saying they can't put races up on Preview that aren't up on Live. I think it's doubtful we'll get to "preview" the Dragonborn race before it goes live.

    This is what I read as well so no preview until after it goes to live. Then you should be able to try them out.

    Okay, I've never seen that "confirmation" and I follow DevTracker pretty religiously - was it "confirmed" at another service like Reddit or something?

    Broken link. If you want to link to a specific post - right-click the # symbol and copy THAT link as that is the URL for the poet. You just link to the thread - which is 17 Pages on my screen (100 Posts per page - your "page 33 is not my page 33" - I don't even have 33 pages) - so I'll not go looking for that. :)

    Apparently one of the developers said so on a live stream? I haven't read or heard it anywhere but this moderator post .
    Just announced in the live stream: Dragonborn will be on preview before M4 is released but they are not currently ready for testing.

    Dragonborn now on Preview

    But wont Allow you more than seeing it unless you have purchased it

    IS this a bug ?

    Preview is currently working as intended. You are not supposed to be able to select it and create it - it is supposed to open your web browser and go to package details page.

    Also note the above - at this point rumor control, but hopefully true. But also note that the Moderator post was on July 25th - and things change.

    Yes and no... a new Mod is fraught with bugs and for the first week or longer they'll be working feverishly to correct that stuff. Though it did take forever to fix the Menzo Drow racial ability (Faerie Fire or something) - and I'm not sure they fixed that yet? LOL Anyway, just saying it's going to be a bumpy weekend.

    It shouldn't be like that though. Sure if people clog the servers and some unexpected things happen to some modules. But so far all 3 modules have had their issues and at least some of them were completely preventable. Just because they can patch fix stuff doesn't excuse shoddy quality control. We'll have to see how it goes, if they achieve a more or less flawless release then that'd paint a good picture and be impressive compared to the lack of time since the last module, if not well it does the opposite and we continue to expect lack of attention to game issues. Some other important issues get looked over for far too long.
