The Test Instance is currently open to all subscribers for beta testing of DragonRealms 3.1, a major upgrade of many game systems.

Access is normally available for Platinum Subscribers, Community Leaders, Mentors, and other players individually selected by the GameMasters.

Before major system upgrades, the test instance is typically opened up to all subscribers for final beta testing.

Special Commands

  • WIPESPELL: Will delete all known spells, and allow rechoosing.
  • TEST JUMP: Will move the user to Crossing Town Green.
  • HEALME: Will remove all damage. There is a timer on it.
