Template:Persistent alpha
Alpha-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[1][2] Persistent means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[3][1]
- Alpha-2 servers will become the public test servers (PTS) post-launch that are used to test patches and updates.[7][5][1]
- Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[7] – Steven Sharif
- The ultimate goal for A2 is to be persistent and the PTS, but before we get that far there's gonna be some wipes I would expect.[5] – Steven Sharif
