    As Lexmax has illustrated above, the game is in pre alpha development stage at the mo.  There will be a playable demo at pax.  The playable alpha/beta schedule is above and full release is targeted for end of 19. the devs had said "before 2020"

    In my experience unless a sticky says get your free ingame currency here no one looks there 1st myself included.  only 1% would read it if it said get your free in game currency here lol

    Then we title it......."FREE ALPHA ACCESS, read to see how!!!!"

    I think if there was a sticky for each of the top asked questions it would help:
    1. When will the game be ready? Alpha and Beta Access
    2. What primary class / role will you play first? (poll)
    3. Will you play a pure class or a hybrid? (poll)
    4. What race will you play? (poll)
    5. Preferred Node (poll)

    Also, Just know if you're going to check out the game play footage that will be released from PAX, the devs have said this is only 20% of what combat could be like. This is such an early stage of the game that you should not be quick to judge. Please reference the Imperium wiki if you're looking for "strait to the point" information on what we know so far!

    I do not think the information in the graphic is still accurate. this is from a June 7th interview on zam.com
    "Intrepid Studios is planning on hosting their friends and family closed alpha this October. Another closed alpha will follow. The beta is tentatively planned for later next year, with a stress test open beta directly before launch. Ashes of Creation is technically planned for a December 2018 release, but Sharif cautions that it's difficult to estimate at this point."

    The info in the graphic is based upon these official comments on discord:

    It is only the statement of beta-live that is technically inaccurate, as beta and live could potentially happen in '18. The others are just date range.

    Yes, technically they could release Alpha 1 & 2, beta 1 & 2 and also go live in 2018, but this would be pretty unlikely. But since IS stated alpha 1 in 2018 and release before 2020, I took the conservative approach of a beta/live occurring in 2019.

    It's crazy. This question can trigger heated arguments and at the same time can also prevent them.

    @Johndoe  @lexmax
    the info-graphic is accurate Alpha 0 is planned for Q4 2017 with Alpha 1 in December 2018 (however they plan on making it sooner but for now thats the date) with release being "before 2020" alpha 2 and the betas will have to happen in 2019.
