Public test server
I downloaded the Public Test Server version of Stars Wars Old Republic. When I try to connect to a server, it displays an error "This account is not authorized to connect to our servers". I've never been banned or suspended. Does anyone know why I can't connect to the Public test server? Do I need to have a paid subscription to play on the test server?
Yes you need to be a subscriber as detailed in https://forums.swtor.com/topic/868200-getting-started-on-the-pts/#comment-9293187
Note: The Public Test Server is only available in English and your account has to have Subscriber status to access it.
