Ho how do I play the Velious test server?

[RaldoMcdaldo]

How do i log into the Velious test server - do I have to do a patch? . . . after searching for a long time I have not been able to find a thing on how to play the beta server. I did a char. copy on 99 after a number of players recommended "just doing it" and to go to forums where all I needed to know was available - but my dumb ass can't find a thing about how to do it. Could some kind person just point me in the right direction?
LOL . . . thanks.
