The PTS has opened its gates!

The folks at BioWare are happy to announce that Update 2.0 for Star Wars: The Old Republic has hit the Public Test Server! Added content and features include new abilities and skill trees, a new Operation and 4 Hard Mode Flashpoints and much more.

Here is a list of major changes:

• New gear available only to level 55 characters.
• A new Operation: Scum and Villainy.
• New abilities and skill trees for all 16 Advanced Classes.
• New level 55 Hard Mode Flashpoints: Hammer Station, Athiss, Mandalorian Raiders, and Cademimu.
• New Nightmare Mode Operation: Terror from Beyond.
• Legacy Achievements – Complete challenges to earn unique titles and vanity rewards across your Legacy.

To test out all of this cool stuff, players have the option to either transfer existing characters over to the PTS or insta-level their newly created characters to 55 from the Republic and Imperial Fleets.
