  • Will they allow to buy keys through the kickstarter?
  • Hello and welcome RYNOCERAPTOR!

    To make it more clarifying: The kickstarter will begin in a few weeks and there will be a countdown clock on this very site 2 weeks prior the launch of the KS campaign.

    Kickstarter tiers will be: (in USD)
    Entry level - $20
    Beta access - $50
    Alpha access - $125

    Timetable:
    Q4 2017 - The invite only alpha (Read <a href="https://www.ashesofcreation.com/forums/topic/information-regarding-weekly-key-drawings-2/" target="_blank">here</a> how to get a key)
    Early 2018 - The kickstarter alpha
    Later - The kickstarter beta
    Before 2020 - The game launches

    Hope this helped and have a great time waiting! :)
  • Hello there RYNOCERAPTOR welcome to the community, as they said the alpha key is due to Q4 2017
    the actual release of the game is going to be around 2019-2020, you can get alpha key through weekly draws or handpick draws,
  • Can i ask somethings? Cause I'm new here and I don't know what to do to get the keys. but I know I get it drawing weekend, helping each other, and the kickstarter is started. So am I late or can I do something for the key? Honestly , I don't know this game is available in my country. hopefully I can get the right answer what I want. By the way nice to see you guys!

    Welcome to the community Bloodhunter :)

    The best chances to get alpha key is by participating in both forums and discord. The random draws will concern the users of both sites. The helpfulness is seen when guiding newcomers to find the info we already have so they won't bother Steven and Yavie with the questions we see every day. Another way to be acknowledged in the handpicked key drawings is by referring people to join the community and by sort of advertising the game in social media. (e.g. by making youtube vids)

    Please note that the Kickstarter alpha is a different event from the key drawing's alpha. They are still continuing the key drawings so don't worry, you still have a chance to win one.

    Steven has stated that where there is demand, they will deliver in the terms of server locations. E.g. the oceanic servers show quite a demand here among the community so I believe they have noted that. The best chance to get servers for your region is to get people to join the community from your part of the world.

    I hope I gave you the answers you wanted :)

    At some point it was discussed. It's for those not willing to pay for alpha/beta access but want to support the development. I don't know what do you gain for it though.
  • Hi all! This game looks intriguing. I have some experience with MMO's and I find them more enjoyable than single player games. I'm looking at investing in the initial phases. I'll be keeping an eye here.

    Thanks!
  • Kickstart will begin this coming Monday, May 1st. That's when we will get official package discriptions and their costs. Check out the Home page for Ashes of Creation.
  • 2020? That makes me sad, cos I'm a "grey gamer" with a limited life expectancy. Still, the Kickstarter launches in a couple of days, and I'm pretty certain I'll live long enough to support the game financially. :)
  • This game looks amazing and I am very eager to start it up! That being said, does anyone know the rate at which the keys are being drawn? like how many keys per weekend?
  • 2020 is a bit far off but ow well let's hope kim jong un and donald trump dont start WW3 befor then.
