===<span id="7">QA Server Access Now Open to All Players</span>===
As we mentioned last month in the [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/policy-change-qa-server-and-release-instructions-early-drafts-open-to-all-starting-with-r45.95837/ QA Server Policy Change post], starting with Release 45, we are opening up access to the QA server to everyone who has purchased access to the game, not just members with Developer+ access. Note that access to the QA server does not include trial accounts.

Each month, we set up a forum section that hosts discussion of topics related to the QA server. This section has previously been added to the Dev+ forum section, but we are now setting up the QA forums immediately below the current Live release forums.

QA server testing periods are usually about a week before the build goes to the live server. On the day of the release on the Live server (R45 due this Aug. 31), the QA forums will be archived, just like the previous Live release forums are archived on these days.

Keep watch [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/r45-qa-server-access.98223/ in the forums] for the latest QA server instructions for downloading and accessing the build. Thanks Avatars for helping out here!
