Hi
This game looks amazing and I'm totally looking for a new virtual home. When should you buy into this? Is there a playable version now? Because it looks like the Merch changes and like i want the snail and the gargoyle but i also want something new to play with. Buying collectibles in a game you've never played for $400 is a big ask but I'm interested. Just let me know what the landscape looks like now?

There isnt much to play with.
The $400 or $375 or $5863 6 99r
are not product prices. They are support packets. Supporters get a few cosmetic skins and get to test the developing phases.
The two main reasons to buy a pre-purchase pack are:
a) You like everything you’ve seen so far in the game’s development and want to support it: Intrepid’s monthly YouTube updates, social media, Official Forums, Reddit, and content creator vids.
b) You have an intense interest in testing the game’s core systems with Alpha and Beta key access.
The game is coming along nicely … but at this stage Alpha players are doing the heavy lifting in terms of testing the core functionality and committing to honest feedback.
If not, wait.
If you want to buy some of the packages you should know this:

- They have a great leader Steven Sharif and a great team who are working with their feet firmly on the ground to know that they are not going to create the best MMO in history but that they are going to create something of which they are proud, if it comes to that whether or not to be the best MMO in history, only time will decide.

I don't like the way they change the skins every month, never to come back, with no guarantee we'll be able to get something similar in the game at all. We don't even know what the freehold building skins they sell are going to be used for really.
But I do believe in the game and the vision and how transparent they are about development. I went for it last year and haven't regretted it.
Just please realize this is a real alpha test, that you currently can't play, and that when you can log in to test, it's not even close to the full game. It's gonna be buggy, incomplete and you can get wiped anytime if they deem it necessary, even if they try to minimize it. You can get burned out on the game before it even releases, depending on your approach and temper.
three years ok, but not five is too much to wait i hope for 2023 release.
more than 3 years of waiting will kill this game
releasing early will kill the game.
Since there aren't really any competitors left in development, if Ashes releases in 2025 instead of 2023, you'll still play it.
