Good morning all,
At 2:45AM EST, Test Center Nova was taken offline for a full patch update and database wipe. For information on the technicalities of what was added with this patch, please see the latest Bi-Weekly Update
here.
As noted, the update will include a full database wipe. This means all characters, items and non-static objects which previously existed on the server will now be deleted. This is a necessity of patching. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The update should take a number of hours. I'm afraid I cannot give you an exact estimate at this time, however this thread will be updated with any new information.
EDIT: Latest estimate stands around Evening on Sunday Eastern.
Very rough and subject to change.
Thank you for your patience, and have fun with the massive updates that are coming on to the Test Center today!
