Welcome to the Phoenix Stress Test!
Characters will remain, but all progress you made/gained this weekend will be wiped (items, gold etc.) When you login at launch day, your characters will be exactly where you logged it out, but level 1 and with empty pockets. Guilds and Alliances created will remain, creating one in the stress test would save you 50g to make the guild and potentially 200g to assign an emblem, further it would allow you to collect merit points right away on launch. Houses / lots will not remain, lots will be 300g right now but on launch they'll start at 94p and get reduced by 1.2p per hour.
Freezes, general connection issues and much more fun stuff is to be expected early on, depending on player count. Server restarts take about 1 minute or less usually. Depending on what kind of problems we encounter we might potentially disable mob pathing or even LOS, both would require a restart.
There is at least 1 freeze bug still in there, it happened once or twice in the last 3 months but just wasn't reproducible with the low hundreds we had at that time, we hope to encounter it early on.
