Test server for patch 3.2

[Michelanio]

it is now possible to transfer your characters to the PTR's for the upcoming patch, I've transferred 2 of my characters to Fordring (PvP) in case anyone wants to follow (doubt it though:boxing:)

Basically when Blizzard releases a new content patch (like the upcoming 3.2) they put an updated version of the game onto Test Servers. Players can copy a character to this test server to see the new changes and help Blizzard test all the stuff to see if there are bugs and whatnot.

What happens is your character is copied with all of its gear, inventory stuff, gold, experience, yadayada to that server. Any changes you make to the toon on either normal or test servers is not applied to the respective toon on the other server, and at the end of the test period the PTR is closed down again until next big content patch.

Or in the official words: The PTR page

EDIT: Note that the info on the link is somewhat outdated (refers to TBC PTRs)
