if i remember correctly - Preview has the new content, Owlbear has same patch as live and is made for testing builds

you create class like normal or copy one of your characters from live, google for it there is a thread somewhere with link to arc

Owlbear is used for weekly bugfix patches when Preview is in use for module testing and other long-term projects. Owlbear is not available to the public when Preview can be used for routine patch testing.

Having character slots available live is irrelevant. Preview will only let you create two new characters, and then only if you don't have two or more characters already. If 0 copied, can create 2 then copy multiple from live. If 1 copied, can create 1 new. If 2+ copied, cannot create new at all until sufficient copies are deleted.

I got clarification on Owlbear a few days ago to make sure our sticky contained up-to-date information.

For clarity on the Launcher's Display of Servers:
Neverwinter - Neverwinter = Dragon (International Live Server)
Neverwinter - NeverwinterPreview = Mimic (International Preview Server)
Neverwinter - Owlbear = Owlbear (International Preview Server)*
*Note: Owlbear is used when there is a New Module on Mimic for testing of patches that will be published to Dragon prior to the release of the Module in testing on Mimic.

You can read this, and more, in our Sticky:
