The nextPersist Online playtest is indeed on deck for tonight, according to studio Cipsoft’s latest announcement. “The new #PersistOnline Playtest starts today at 6:00 PM CEST and will last until Wednesday Sept. 2, 2026 (at 6AM CEST),” the team says. Guild PvP sectors will be the focus of testing, with the sector opening up its contested stage between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. local server time. You can sign up right now if you want to take part in the testing, and you should probably jump into an existing guild on your pre-alpha server if possible or create a new guild once you get the chance. Why?
“Participation in a Sector fight is tied to guild membership, which means that Guild Leaders, Officers, and Members can take part in the event, secure objectives, use the Sector respawn system, and fight to capture the Sector for their guild,” Cipsoft says. “Players without a guild can still enter the area while the Sector is contested, but they do so at a significant disadvantage: they cannot damage guild members inside the Sector, even while using Aggressor Mode (P), while guild players can kill them without losing Karma.So we strongly suggest to either join an already existing guild on your Pre-Alpha server, or create your own guild before you jump into the Junkyard Sector. If you want to create a new guild you can do so at any of the Guild Terminals that can be found in every Faction Stronghold (for example at Community Center -1st floor- in Junction).”
