Surprise news that the Reaper of Souls Beta and PTR Shutting Down Tonight. As in 5 hours from now!
In preparation for the launch of patch 2.0.1, the Reaper of Soulsâ„¢ Beta and Patch 2.0.1 PTR servers will be brought offline this evening at 5:00 p.m. PT. At that time, players will no longer be able to log in to the Beta or PTR client, all Beta and PTR accounts (including character information) will be reset, and both our Beta forums and PTR forums will be marked as read-only.
We'd like to thank everyone who has participated in the Reaper of Souls Beta and Patch 2.0.1 PTR. You've done an amazing job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development.
We look forward to releasing patch 2.0.1 to public shortly and encourage everyone to stay tuned to this website for exciting news and updates regarding the upcoming launch of Reaper of Souls![source]http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/13032541/reaper-of-souls%E2%84%A2-closed-beta-and-patch-201-ptr-draw-to-a-close-2-24-2014[/source]
I'm surprised and disappointed as I've been really enjoying the play time and wishing the game was out now. On the bright side, this will certainly free up more time for upgrading the wiki and other such activities over the next month.
Are you guys surprised to see the Beta ending so far before release? Will you miss the PTR? Or does this make you think that Diablo 3 v2 will launch in a couple of weeks and you're just eager to get started in Loot 2.0?
