    Forge of Remembrance
    A specially designed structure that serves as both a crematorium and forge. For a society that delves into the ground, burials as humans perform are not sensible. A Dünir in death still wishes to be of use to their kin, and so with reverence, the body is made to ash and burn, while a fine tool or weapon is constructed with the heat generated. Firing a Forge of Remembrance to only serve a single purpose is considered sacrilege.

    I think it'll be here sooner than most people are expecting. But that's just wishful thinking.

    The Unrest pet cosmetic is something special! Let's go destroy some hags in the basement, and maybe get some dwarven work boots at the sametime :-)

    Can someone explain how it works please ? If this pre-order pack is the last, it means we cannot access to the second Alpha + Beta if we don't buy it ebfore the september deadline ?

    Coz I was planning to buy one after a release date is published but not before...

    September's will be the last one. And there's a tiiiiiiiny chance that by the end of that pack we'll get the date announcement. But yes, once the sales of that pack are over the only chance to get into testing would be through some random events that Intrepid come up with or if they somehow run out of people to test the alpha/beta.

    So logically, Intrepid should announce Alpha 2 to boost pre-order sales (I hope so).
  • Raven016Raven016 Member
    It interesting that they stop the sale for Alpha 2 this way.
    They say they have enough alpha 2 players. But they knew all the time how many they have and I doubt that reaching a certain number was the reason. More likely they wanted to reach the Halloween themed sale.
    But the large number of Alpha 2 players is definitely a reason.

    They don't need to boost Pre-Order sales, that's why they're stopping the sale of Pre-Order Packs.

    Certainly yes for Alpha-2. They may decide they want more Beta testers before Beta testing.
    Also, just to point out that this Dwarfy pack is the second-last Pre-Order Pack. You'll have August's and September's to pick from if you do want to buy into testing.

    If you've decided you want to test Alpha-2, does having an Alpha-2 date make that much difference?

    The answer to your last question seems so obvious that I think you were born into abundance and wealth to ask it ;).
    Not every one can pay this money. You have to understand that this is not an absolute priority for me and I'd rather pay it off as late as possible.

    Hehe, not at all. Luckily for me, I used the money I saved from not having to get the bus and train to work during Covid Lockdown, and it added up to such an amount that I was able to purchase. I knew I wanted to be part of testing, so that money was going to be spent at some point, so I just waited for a set of cosmetics that I liked.

    In every MMO I played, I have absolutely never cared about cosmetics, that's also why Im waiting the last moment.

    well, they said they would stop close to alpha 2 release. also, announcing the end of it will boost the sales xD

    They could have done a spooky theme at any time. It's high fantasy, it'll always fit in.

    An Alpha 2 would be cool for Christmas ...

    I doubt that boosting the sale is the main reason of the announcement.
    More that they care about people who wait, like Myosotys.
