Thanks for your interest in helping to test upcoming content for us! However, the European public test realms are not currently live.

"So this is why I can't log into the PTR?"
Yes, this is why you are unable to log into the public test realms or may be experiencing other errors or difficulties that are related to the fact that there simply is no upcoming content currently being tested.

"So you'll update this thread when they're live, right?"
When a new public test phase for upcoming content arrives, stickied threads will be updated -- however it is possible that we may be unable to update the status of this thread straight away. Because of this, this thread might still state the public test realms are offline when they are not -- however this is likely to be only very temporary.

Thank you again for your patience and support; we greatly appreciate your interest in helping us ensure an ongoing commitment to quality.
