Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

We are in the Alpha Two Phase II testing which will take place 5+ days each week.

Alpha Two testing is scheduled to happen daily until January 13, 2025 at 10PM PT. We will have periods of downtime for hotfixes and daily restarts happening at 2 AM PT for NA realms, and 2 CET for EU realms.

Starting next week, Alpha Two realms are scheduled to be online for 5+ days a week from Thursdays at 10 AM PT to Mondays at 10 PM PT. Alpha Two realms are planned to be down on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and for daily restarts. Alpha Two realms will also be brought down as updates and fixes are ready.

You can download the game launcher here and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

Beta Access Questions

in General Discussion
2 questions. I've just discovered this game through my guild...

1) Is the only way for Beta access to buy a pre-order pack from the shop?

2) If that's the case, is the monthly subscription applied even in the beta?

Thanks in advance!

    People who pledged more than $1000 from the kickstarter will receive a few beta keys that they can hand out to their friends, and high profile streamers might also get some beta keys to give out to their viewers, but aside from that, the only guaranteed way in is to buy a pre-order pack.

    The monthly subscription only starts once the game fully launches.

    1) yes
    Unless you are one of the lucky ones that win at a raffle that might happen in the future again.
    2) no
    The beta is supposed to be a test enviroment and a huge help for the devs, charging game time for that would not be typicall for intrepid. :hushed:
