Confusion on Alpha Keys

I'd like to purchase a key to start playing/testing, but I'm confused on which one to get. I've seen posts that say testing ended Jan 6th, I've seen some saying it's Jan 13th, and I've seen some saying the servers will be up until May 1st. So I'm super confused. If I buy a wave 2 key will I be able to start now? Or should I just wait for the may roll out? Thanks in advance!

There's only one source - the official one

It says, from dec20 until subsequent phases. Subsequent phases are not yet here, with Phase 3 coming in May and Betas coming somewhere in the distant future.

And here's more information that's been readily availble for months

Thank you! I was just confused on whether or not it was closing. I didn't want to spend the 110 and then it go away on the 13th. So from what I'm reading there, this wave will be available until May.

Yes, and you'll have access to Phase 3 as well, which will go on until the game is done, whenever that might be.

@Vaknar I told Greypelt this on reddit, but I really think yall need to reword the key selling page, cause there's been waaaaay too fucking many people confused.

I'll bring it up with the team. Feel free to share any feedback you have on how it could be clearer

We also recently released a schedule, which should help some understand how it works.

I honestly got no damn clue, cause it's been clear as day to me, but I've seen waaay too many people utterly confused by several points.

Visibility seems like one of the key issues. People "see posts" (as evident by the OP), which confuses them, so I feel like having a pinned post on all the social media and especially the main site (probably even before the "preparing for A2" button, cause people sure as fuck didn't read that shit).

And making it ultra clear that people need to pay ONLY ONCE. Cause there's been misinfo from somewhere about repetitive payments.
