Huh? What exactly are you talking about?

You want the progress in the test server to transfer to the production server? Haha. Along with the 10x increase in XP/credit, right?

Not to mention that the last 'beta' ended when the game was officially released, and everyone's account was wiped at that time. So when has progress ever 'saved'?

Probably no more than a week before the test servers become available. But possibly more, possibly less, does it make that big of a difference?

sorta, I wanna save as much free exp as possible to use the gold on the test server so i can use the free exp to test out the new tanks quicker
