It would appear that SE did something to clear the data on the SE account or whatever they have made up to act as the Playonline account for the test server. However, the actual character data on the Undine server was not cleared. I was forced to rename my newly copied character. I have created a character on all 16 of the regular servers all under the same SE account so I know no one else could have my character name anywhere. (The options are all cancelled other than the one for my main character. But the characters do exist.)
As I mentioned above, this has been done before, usually after larger scale updates.

I can't say that I've ever experienced what you describe about the names/characters, but I can say that the test server does not care for the names on live servers.

Normal for these occasionally occurring occasions. ^^;

I had no issues with it other than the rest of the normal stuff that happen after copying characters over (like not showing with the proper equipment before first logging in). This time I was level 227 in the selection screen. D:

But yeah, didn't experience any issues here, except for the title music, which changed to the Adoulin theme. I don't even have that stuff installed, so give back my Wings of the Goddess!
