High price to test

Hello! i would absolutely love to be a tester but the price is a bit steep especially with having a $15 monthly subscription. Yeah there's one free month but still. Is there any plans to keep lowering the price each phase? Again i would absolutely love to test this MMORPG but the price is the only thing holding me back.

There is no subscription to test - just the initial purchase.
A few fewer beers at a weekend, for a few months, and you've probably saved a decent chunk of that amount.
Or walk somewhere instead of driving or taking the bus, and save some cash that way. It all adds up.
I totally get that the price might seem high, especially with the monthly subscription on release, but Intrepid’s approach to Alpha and Beta access is intentional.
🔹 Why Testing Access is Expensive
Intrepid wants dedicated testers, not just players looking for early access. A higher price ensures that those who join are committed to providing feedback and improving the game.
This is a true testing phase, not a paid early-access preview. Alpha 2 still has bugs, incomplete features, and constant balance changes—it's meant for testing, not just playing.
The development is self-funded without a publisher, meaning there’s no external pressure to monetize through cash shops or pay-to-win mechanics. Paid testing access helps sustain development while keeping the game’s integrity intact.
🔹 Will the Price Be Lowered?
So far, no official announcement has been made about lowering the price in future phases. However, historically, Beta phases tend to be more accessible than Alpha, so it’s possible that the entry cost will be adjusted closer to launch.
If testing isn’t a priority for you, waiting for open Beta or full release might be the best option. Once the game launches, all you’ll need is the standard $15/month subscription.
I totally understand wanting to test the game, but Intrepid’s focus is on maintaining a structured and meaningful testing environment. If you’re not comfortable with the cost now, following the development updates and waiting for Beta might be the way to go!.
Thanks for your Interest in the Game -> but it is still so early in Development that it is only a Testphase in which the Testers contribute via ingame-Data to the Game while it is being developed.
It's not a Price really to "play" the Game. It is better to still wait if you are waiting for a regular Experience for which you pay for. This here is the Struggle which will leave some Testers with a Thousand-Yard Stare.
