COPY YOUR CHARACTER TO THE PTS

You can only copy characters to the Public Test Server during an active testing period - please check http://www.swtor.com/test-center to find out if testing is currently underway before trying to copy a character.

To copy one or more of your characters from a live server to the Public Test Server (PTS):
Log into your account at www.swtor.com.
Click on My SWTOR, then My Account.
Click on Public Test Character Copy.
This will open up a page displaying the servers you currently have characters on, click on the region tabs along the top of the server list to navigate between regions.
Once you’ve located your server, click on it and the panel below will populate with the names of your characters on that server.
This window will display a maximum of twelve characters, and the characters displayed can be sorted by clicking on Level to display them in increasing or decreasing order by their current level.
To copy a character, click on the Copy Character button across from their name.
