SWTOR Cartel Shop hits the PTS

Today, Bioware announced the Public Test Server would award cartel coins to those with toons on the PTS - these are separate from your current cartel coins and anything you purchase for the public test server will not be transferred to your main server.

If you want to help this new feature, which will help make the transition to free-to-play as smooth as possible (really, who wants to deal with more bugs than we have to?) then log into SWTOR and see if you have the ability to play on the Public Test Server.

Currently all accounts on the PTS are being treated as subscription members, but soon, Bioware has stated they will all be changed to be viewed as free accounts, helping Bioware test the free features and how cartel coins affect play.

Curious what some of the Cartel Shop items are? You can find a list here (it's only a sampling; seriously, there are a LOT of items being offered as well as options to pay for legacy unlocks through cartel coins).
