The Public Test Realm (PTR) is now open!
Do you want to be the first to see new stuff and help us test every map, monster, & feature on a secret testing server? We just opened up the Public Test Realm. (It is Steam only)

What is the Public Test Realm (PTR)?
  • A secret testing server
  • For brave testers only! (It is NOT a live nor stable version of the game.)
  • Uses a temporary copy of your character-- does not effect your live game
  • New features (like hair customization, beards, mustaches, braids) are tested here first
  • Frequent Server restarts and fixes
  • Resets happen often!

    How to play on the PTR!
    It is pretty easy. I added a lot of pictures to show you how can you switch back and forth on steam.

    1. Open Steam
    2. Right click on AdventureQuest 3D and choose Properties



    3. Select the BETAS tab
    4. Enter the beta access code: iwantintheptr



    5. Congratulations! You now have access to the PTR
    6. Switch to it by choosing publictest - PTR from the drop down



    7. ALWAYS Clear Cache after switching to or from the PTR and Live Versions



    8. Report Bugs! (Did you know there was a report bug option in the main menu?)



    Congratulations and welcome to the AdventureQuest 3D PTR!
    You can switch back and forth between the LIVE version and the PTR at any time using the drop down. (This is what we do for testing too!) Please, please, please, report any bugs you find. Battle on!

    		It was quite fun to tinker with the new styles and colors. :)

    However, I felt that is is missing a few basic eye & hair colors that are quite common in real life.
    -Black hair color: Currently, the darkest one is simply a dark shade of gray. Could you add a blacker color, though? One that would match the color of a real black hair.
    -Dark brown eyes: There were many brown colors to choose from, but all of them were light browns or saturated browns. I feel this is one of the most important missing colors.
    -Black eyes: This is also something that is missing from the options. You may have a darkish-gray option, but it's not dark enough for actual black eyes.

    With so many amazing colors to choose from, even crazy "impossible ones", I was a bit disappointed with the lack of these basic real life colors.
    (Oh, any chance eyebrows will someday be colorizable? I guess if they are not their own model it might be tricky)

    Braids: You have an awesome opportunity to go crazy with these! You could take the braids slot and include all sorts of "extra hair" pieces to combo with the hairstyles. Doesn't really have to be braids specifically, or even always placed in front of the ear.
    From just extra bits of hair hanging down or ponytails added on any hairstyle, you could make anything! Mixing and matching two Hair options would enable a multiplicative amount of choices! :)
    Even though in some cases clipping would happen, it's okay to give the players the responsibility to use combinations that look well.
