BTW is our characters saved to that test server, like do we have still those characters once it realy begins for stay that new server. i want to start leveling my toon when we get to that server and if my ''record character'' have name taken already, is it deleted or does it be saved to once realm start to stay?

I suspect this is a stupid question but maybe, сan I send my gold to new server?

You cant send gold, but you can send items like bags for other character, they will start character transfer in time too

People will join just for the beggining hypeness and mass start zones in result nostalrius will overestimate and think all of them want the pve server

I would guess no, that they'll wipe it before launch. Would be interesting to get an answer on this though, because if people could create and save their toons - names, race, hairstyle - it would get a lot more people logging on for the test.

it would also be interesting if the names from the pvp server are "locked" on the pve server too
or can ppl steal names and give it a bad name?
and also if there should ever be character transfers from pvp<->pve or pve->tbc, pvp->tbc, if the names were not locked, it might get complicated.

thats why i would suggest to atleast lock all 60s characternames or something

Oh I didn´t even consider that our Characters made on the "test" server wont stay; I have but a an hour or two to play in a day, and really wouldnt want to spend it levelling my Character only to have it deleted. Is there any way to find this out? I wasnt with Nostalrius at the PvP launch, perhaps it´ll go the same way; How did that go?

Thanks in advange

Character names will of course not be locked to the PvP server as this is a new server and has nothing to do with that server.

If the characters that you make on the server for its 30 min period will stay, nobody but the Nostalrius staff knows. My logical mind tells me no, but you never know. I guess it would be smart to pick a fought over name and try to level out of the first zone just incase, but it's not very likely that the characters won't be wiped when the server opens for real.

nothing to do? they share the page and the forum. so its 1 big community. giving a char a bad name on 1 server which is a guild leader or something on the other might become an issue.
and at least when the tbc comes up and ppl from pvp and pve want to transfer their chars onto it (i doubt the old servers will be wiped), the same names will collide.

good luck leveling your character for like max 25 minutes on a server with several thousand ppl in the 1-5 zones
i'd be surprised if you made it to level 3.

Well you do have a point considering the forum. I guess this wasn't a problem in vanilla (and currently on retail) as you would post with your character on the forums and not a different account altogether.

The whole point of logging on the test realm is so that Nostalrius can come up with a rough estimate of how many people are interested in a PvE realm to begin with . Nothing to do with leveling or reserving names .
