FAQ
Can I access the live server and the test server at the same time with a single account?
You can log in to both servers at the same time using the account you created on the live server to play the game.
Which platforms can I access the test server on?
The mobile version of BDM Test Server is currently only available on Google Play Store.
For the most stable testing environment, we recommend using the PC launcher.
Can I use the same Character from the live server on the test server?
While the access to the test server is granted to your live server account, you will need to create a new character as your account information does not carry over to the test server.
Can my character from the test server be transferred to the live server?
Family, Character, and acquired items from the test server cannot be transferred to the live server.
Can lost game data on the test server be restored?
The test server is run to provide previews for certain content before it is updated on the live server, so lost game data (Character, items, Achievements, etc.) cannot be restored.
Additionally, game data may be modified or deleted without prior notice, and any such data will not be restored.
For more information, please refer to the [BDM Test Server Terms of Service] and [BDM Test Server Operational Policy].
Can I expect the same level of service on the test server as on the live server?
The test server provides a preview of content still in development that are not polished, and may contain some errors.
In addition, please note that no compensations will be made for any disconnections or data resets that you may experience while playing on the test server.
Is the game content on the test server the same as on the live servers?
As the test server allows Adventurers to test content before they are updated to the live server, its content may differ or have limited access compared to the live servers.
Please also note that content may be changed at any time without prior notice.
How long does the test server stay open for?
The test server is run for a set period each time for a specific content, which may vary depending on the content being tested.
Can I buy items from the Pearl Shop on the test server as well?
The Pearl Shop is not available on the test server.
In addition, access to certain content may also be restricted unless it is being tested.
We will continue to strive to provide a stable gameplay environment to our Adventurers.
Thank you.
