    Checked last night and it was still down. I'm guessing it still is?

    At this point, probably just going to have to wait for the next patch and hope they unlock the server after that.

    A response from the Dev team or someone who knows what is really going on would be appreciated, though. Confirmed that it's still down today. Acts like it's going to load my characters and the reports that "the server is unavailable at this time."

    It is pretty frustrating... trying to get into the preview for the past few days and failed.

    The main thing that keeps me playing this game after hitting L60 for all classes is to accessorize and customize my toons. Since the game does not have an inbuilt preview function, the preview shard is a viable alternative albeit slightly tedious. Still it is the only way not to waste money/AD.

    Also, I use it to respect my toons for testing before doing it on live. With the preview down, I am spending less and less time in game... which might be a good thing for me.. O.o

    My guess is that they may be using it for internal testing purposes and don't want to spill the beans to the playerbase before they're ready to make an official announcement. At least one new class, another module, and new paragon paths are all in development, so it wouldn't surprise me.

    Contagion - Cleric
    Testament - Wizard
    Pestilence - Ranger
    Dominion - Paladin

    They have other servers for that and Mimic is running the same patch as the live server. It also been down since they have put that patch on Mimic last Wednesday. Also we had the same issue with the patch that happened on the 11th. It was put up but the server was never unlocked before they left for the weekend.

    You mean someone forgot to put the hamsters back on the preview wheel? :D

    All the more reason for preview functions in game...

    I think with the last patch the Imps TP'd everything and it's gonna take the Devs a week to clean it up. :rolleyes:

    Owlbear (second test server) was up this morning, so I guess Module 2 soon-to-be-announcement is around the corner :)

    Why isn't any member of staff letting us know why the preview shard is down and why hasn't there been a patch added this week? a bit of info would be appreciated , especially with Halloween so close by , is there going to be an event for Halloween even and if so surely it would make sense to put it up on preview before going live so as to spot any issues..

    Maybe Panderus is on holiday? Don't really know, but he usually has note for preview up tuesday/wednesday. We'll know for sure tomorrow though, if we don't find out anything today.

    I hope they wont let test us again the new module, so this time people wont use bug since 10 min after the patch goes live. I hope this time they did an internal test whit some trusted people.

    Well by the looks of it one person takes a few days off and the preview shard stops being patched so if that is how badly staffed they are I wouldn't count on module 2 being tested internally before launch...

    After this maintance period, in which no patch was administered (kinda weird, but meh), I'm still unable to access the preview shard citing my earlier error message that it's unavailable.

    Me thinks the devs and such are eating all the halloween candy before we can have any =P.

    But seriously, annnny comment, even om nom nom, from the team, would be appreciated regarding this.

    +1 to this , I'm starting to get kinda worried about this now , it is Halloween one week today , we are supposed to have an event starting on Tuesday but nothing was added in today's patch and no holiday content has been up on preview for testing purposes? Any info from anybody in charge would surely put a lot of players minds at ease..

    Most events don't go up onto the preview server for testing. The only exception was the summer festival.

    And obviously we didn't get a weekly patch because there was no weekly patch to test.

    So much better than "om, nom, nom." thank you very much Panderus. I'm definitely looking forward to the new information ^_^.
