Wasn't sure if this was supposed to be here or in help section, sorry if this is wrong place :/
I have a couple of questions that I hope can be answered:
1) Is it possible to get pets in test server?
2) Character data is wiped with new test content correct?
3) what npc sells the special items like the new armor/ staffs?
4) Test server is currently behind live server? What is to be tested there anyways?
5) You get three character cards in test server, what happens if you delete one of them? or if you delete all 3?
I'm new, so is there anything else I should know?

1. yes, but usually they're given after 1/certain test cycles. for me, when I made my characters I didn't have any pet cards but after they wiped, the next cycle gave me a shire pet card and a magic broom card.
2. pretty much, every 6-8 weeks or so. I think we've been on this cycle a bit longer than usual
3. afraid I don't know that
4. live and test may be at the same point right now. things like skill revamps and whatnot are the most important things to be tested, because implementing them in live without gauging their effect on the game's balance would be absolutely chaotic - you'd need to do rollbacks if things went horribly, horribly wrong and that would piss the playerbase off to no end. test is pretty much a sandbox where they give you a nerfed difficulty game so you can run around and try risky content with little consequences.
5. not sure, I'm guessing if you did you'd get the card back. you get 1 card for each race.
not much else to know, just that some things are translated while others are not. it's slightly laggier than NA and a little trickier to navigate given the language barrier and for me, the fact that the visible 0-9 hotkey bar doesn't exist (I hate F-keys). there are very few people who play actively and we're pretty much the only people who speak English, so it's very lonely. the folks who play on test are extremely friendly, even though we're foreigners in their server.
also, this cycle gives a 1k AP pot, auto-r1 magic skills (except for mana shield) and new armor masteries.

Thanks, that gave me a much clearer view on how test server works
I think Test is actually behind Live atm, since there's no bard update and it doesn't seem to use the live server magic calculations.
I think you get r1 all magic only if you pick mage as active talent. If you pick gunner you get all r1 gunner talent related skills, same for lance, puppet, etc.
will try deleting a character ^o^

I had thought the same thing, but I rebirthed into melee from mage and didn't get r1 in melee skills. I think it's only upon character creation.
tbh I haven't been as active on test as I should be so I don't know much outside of the magic revamp.

Yea, I assume it's only upon creation. You select the talent and automatically get master in that talent with r1 all talent skills.
Anybody know who sells hermit staff/staff in general?

I asked everyone and they said Duncan; if not him, then lord knows.

Should be duncan, though if he isn't selling it, you have to craft it. =(

Duncan sells the most stuff needed to test.
Also to your 5th question
If you delete one of the Characters, like give the command to delete you have to wait, after you actually delete the character you'll only have 2 characters, now if you relog you get the Corresponding Character card back.

Can someone from another country (me :D) get a Korean ID something so I can make an account? They somewhat started checking accounts with some ID (KSSN I think). Also, what's the test server's client version?

705 now, in korea the numbering is different.
also no, we're not giving you a KR account. korean government ruled last year that asking for KSSN is illegal, which should have taken effect by last august. I'm pretty sure they use korean cell phone verification codes now so you're SOL
also I'm pretty sure everything except for mabi is IP blocked

I can't say for sure what the verification method is, but they've always used phone numbers since before the KSSN fiasco so I'm almost positive they still use it.

Anyone can make an account and do the social forums and interactions.
Playing download games is a whole different ballgame.
