Read the link in the tweet. Have few concerns at the present time. At least A1 no NDA will occur on my birthday. Will be a nice birthday treat after all these years. I appreciate the forward stance and the open source. Thank you.

Not a problem. I hope the move goes well and we will be happy to see you in-game in July ^^

"Also, given the delay in our testing schedule, I will be extending our refund policy from 30 days to 90 days going forward for all pre-orders retroactive from May 5, 2021, out of respect to those who purchased anticipating the NDA release for this month."

I didn't buy this but much respect for this decision. Rooting for you guys these next few months.

Good decision to do this in wake of ESO and WOW TBC going on at the same date. Good strategic decision thanks for keeping us in the loop.

If I just upgraded and got the alpha one do I still get to test the NDA version of the Alpha

I think this is a great move on all parts. One thing this does is show that they care this much about the alpha then only imagine how they feel about the whole project. Only thing I would like them to shed some light on is if we did buy the alpha 1 access(like the upgrade) do we have access on May 14th and further?

Well as long as it is for the best. It is ok
Thank you.

Yes.

This information is noted in our FAQ here.

Thanks for the update and the transparency! I selfishly love this! TBC comes out June 1st so I'll be able to play w/o having to split my time. You are all awesome!

See this is one of the best if not the best game Staff by far always looking and answering questions for their player base and fans love this and keep up the great work @MargaretKrohn

I just became part of the Alpha One family and I for one support taking all the time that is needed to make Ashes the best it can be. I have been playing MMO's since EQ1 and I am floored by the care and concern you're all taking to make this game into something that will hopefully wake up the industry to what games can be if the time is taken to develop them properly!

All for this move. Blizz trying to take your thunder. Bonus point for the refund policy change.

for the Alpha 1 intermittent testing from May 14th to July 9th , is there already a schedule of what day we can and cant play given out to the alpha players or somewhere they can go to access it, cause i got the Alpha 1 a few days ago and im unsure if i just dont know where to be looking for it

Good move. I would also like to point out that now I do not have to choose between Everquest's new TLP server and this. You know, for us old folks who still play the older games. I swear it felt like every game company keyed in on AoC.

Vandel

i was checking my roles and I dont have alpha but i did buy the upgrade does it take 24 hrs to update?
