What Test Phase is the MMO version of the game currently in? Should I buy Voyager Pack?

I know Battle Royales are the kings of the market right now, but I have no interest in the genre at all.

Am thinking of purchasing a Voyager Plus Pre-Order pack - but would like to know what testing Phase the game is currently in, so I know how long I might be waiting for Alpha 2 access.

Again - no desire to check out Apocalypse at all, so strictly speaking of the MMO.

    The true testing phase  of the alpha is alpha 1. that's when we will have all of the core classes and MMO additions


    Alpha 1
    Alpha 1 Phase 2 renamed
    Part of Kickstarter Packages "Braver of Worlds" and higher
    No NDA 
    There will be a test period before Alpha One for A1
    Will include the kickstarter backers at the Braver of Worlds Tier and higher.
    Intrepid does internal testing and QA testing. Eventually, Intrepid does a soft roll out. That's the alpha of A1.
    Will probably start with time slots, until stability is worked out, then will go into longer form, eventually having several weeks of consistent play at the end of A1 testing.
    Trying to have controller support in for a1p1

    Thank you so much for the prompt response - according to that information, looks like Voyager backers wouldn't get into the game until about a year from now?  Guess I will hold off then, got burnt by putting $$$$ early into Crowfall and then it shifted strategies and burnt all early backers.

    https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Release_schedule hope this helps a bit since nagash already provided most of the information

    Since it is a testing phase it's going to be a stress inducing experience so if you ever plan to get into it don't do so thinking you won't be tearing your hair out 'w'
