After your feedback about the difficulty of setting up Strongholds and getting characters tuned just right, we spent some extra time and found a way to meet our server maintenance needs while keeping active characters intact. We are delaying the data wipe to Thursday, May 9th.
If you'd like to keep your Preview character and guild Stronghold, please log in with that character between now and Thursday, May 9th. If you do, our system will consider your character as active. Each character must be logged in individually to be marked as active. All inactive characters will still be wiped on the 9th.
Given that NeverwinterPreview is a test server, these sorts of maintenances may occur from time to time. We want to strike a good balance between an environment you can expect to be stable for your own gameplay testing, and an environment we can maintain and update frequently for version testing. Your patience is appreciated.
TL;DR: The database wipe is being delayed to May 9th. If you wish to keep any characters on these servers, log onto them at least once between now and the 9th.
Thank you!

Greetings Adventurers,
We will be wiping the database on the Neverwinter Preview and Lurker servers on May29, 2019 as part of server upkeep. This will not affect any live servers.

how about asking players to delete their old characters to help clean up space before wiping entirely. Especially right after a new mod launches this is really just not building goodwill with the playerbase... timing is everything.
As part of this wipe, would it be possible to alleviate some of the pain of rebuilding by dramatically reducing cost and time of upgrades in SH on preview?
Not like there's much needed to be testing with SH progression.
I had about 40 toons on preview that could track my evolution in the game, my progression. All that is going to disappear?

It is a cost center (generates no revenue but requires monetary investment).
We all get that.
But please factor in the cost savings we (preview testers) provide you.
Thousands of hours of beta testing.
Given for free.
Surely that has some value.
As others have said, please offer a "Knox Recruitment"-style insta-80 and full boon option if you are going to wipe all of our preview progress.
Otherwise, expect far fewer free guinea pigs for Mod 17.

I mean, that's probably not why you're doing it, but that's where my mind goes.

follow the rule for boats: Don't do anything on the server that you ain't prepared to lose!

This is a variant on "the beatings will continue until morale improves".
Step A: Allow players to preview content to find bugs.
Step B: Players complain loudly about the bugs which is embarrassing and annoying.
Step C: Delete the preview.

Who has too many characters can not create new characters directly on the preview.
Got a mount pack and want to test every mount in it before picking? Copy your character to preview repeatedly, take the packs out of your inventory and stack them on one copy, delete the others. Want to see what it's like to have rank 14 enchants in every slot? Get a friend who has that to transfer their character to preview, strip it, and mail you the enchants. They sign back into Live and have lost nothing.

FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

Is there any way to get control of this guild?
I could easily be wrong though.
Anyway, as people can likely guess, this finally happened on Thursday, 2019-05-23 (we delayed two weeks due to a scheduling issue). This may have to happen again in the future, but I don't really foresee it happening again soon.
Thanks all!
