HOW TO GET THE KEY

ArchivedUser

hello there, im a new here , just want to ask how we can get the key beta test player?

ArchivedUser

As long as you have signed up for Ashes of Creation, your name is entered into the Weekly Drawings. They just finished Week 6 drawings, so if you wanna win, you'll have to wait for next week.

ArchivedUser

ahh i see, thx for the answer red
hope i will lucky to get that key

ArchivedUser

There is also going to be a Kickstarter where you can support the game and get that same key via Kickstart packages.

ArchivedUser

Ah okay so they just give some Keys away on every week? :)

ArchivedUser

Yep. Three keys are given away every week I believe. Two Alpha keys and a Beta key w/ mount. They announce them over the forums and the Discord server (which I recommend using.)

ArchivedUser

The amount of keys increase with the signed up population count on the forum. We are at 4 keys per week right now.

ArchivedUser

The game is looking great cant wait :D

ArchivedUser

I guess we forgot to mention that the way it works is that the ways that keys will be given out will be different every week. It will be in a rotation each week from a pure raffle (where everyone has a chance to win, as long as you have signed up) to a hand picked raffle (where the people who are socially active the most will be hand picked to win). Currently this week will be Hand picked week and next week will be raffle. Best of luck to you :D

ArchivedUser

I'm assuming you get this information from the Discord? I guess I'm really missing out by not checking that out.

ArchivedUser

And "online the most" is a bit missleading it's about contributing to the game in various forms. People who created fanblogs in different languages, spreading the word, informing people or otherwise are an asset by helping out newcomers by answering questings and generally beeing a positive influence.
As far as I know it's not a fixed ruleset, but in general you can assume you have a bigger chance by being active and helpful in the handpicked weeks.

Yes you should totaly check out discord.

So excited to try this game! Hoping like everyone else for a key lol

I am loving what I am seeing so far. The world is beautiful and if the other classes play like the caster you have shown, then I will have a love/hate relationship with the game. I love that there are several classes I want to play and hate having to choose one. This is why I hardly ever reach max level in games. too many alts.

Luckily for you you'll be able to select a second class to further add to the skillset of your primary class, unfortunately for you there are 8 to choose from, giving you 64 different combinations XD And that's not taking into account that there will also be 8 races to select from lol.

Apparently you can change your second class if you want, so probably more like 8 ;) but im betting on less like 5 Per server or something (kinda wow style).

Very interestingly.
If it is possible me classes how many it will be costs in game currency? Or it will be Donat?
Also a question, system change of a class will be similar to that what is in Lineage 2?

No word on this that I know off, but then again I've been (and is still) out of the loop currently. You might wanna check the discord Q&A section.

ArchivedUser

I'm new here as well. Will pass this gem of a game to my friends and old guild-mates. Never hurts to spread the word!

Hey guys!

Could anyone tell me, when we will be able to "buy" a key officially? Like Early Access or something like that? I just got my final diagnosis which gives me like 5-9 month to life :( So i really want to know if I will be able to play the game before "game over" :(

Thanks in advance for your replys!

To qoute Shunex's questions to the creative director Steven from the discord:



<blockquote><strong>Shunex</strong>

can you clarify a couple of things for us please. a) will winners of a alpha key be able to participate in all of the test stages (i.e. beta) b) what alpha will the winners be able to participate in? some people seem to think that the alpha key will allow them to participate in the family/friends test, c) will the testing stages come in waves (i.e. alpha 1-3, beta 1-3) or will it persist and have updates when needed?

<strong>Steven</strong>

We have several Alphas planned obviously. As well as Friends/Family invites. Winners of the Alpha Keys will have access to our Early Alphas, that will be by invite only. They will be under NDAs for these alphas. Our crowdsourcing packages will include access to a persistent alpha, seperate and later than the alpha that our weekly drawings give access to</blockquote>

Any word on when that Kickstarter will start? I have horrible luck, so I'd much rather just support the team and get a key that way.

by signing up to the website you are automatically entered into the weekly key drawings with all the other users signed up to the website.

one week is pure random based off those signed up to the website and the second week is handpicked from those who are helpful and who participate on the forums/discord and also by the referral system.

ArchivedUser

Game looks nice.

I guess good things do come to those that wait :)

Kind Regards
