We will be starting limited Alpha testing on October 2nd (Monday). The game will be IC, but we do have a beta channel open for testing, and we may need to mess with things OOC for the first month or so to make sure all the bugs are fixed and tweak the systems for balance.
During limited alpha testing, all characters who are slain will be resurrected, so our permadeath system will not be initiated at this time. This is purely for testing purposes, and permadeath will be implemented once the limited alpha testing is over.
We still have a lot of helpfiles to write, so we expect there to be a lot of questions. Please direct all questions to the forum, as Cedric and I will be busy trying to keep Alpha Testing running as smooth as possible.
We are not advertising our opening yet, as we don’t want to get swamped right off. But any who wish to join in Alpha Testing are welcome. All are expected to follow our rules, so please read help rules as well as help pk. Just because we are in testing mode does not give any player the right to ignore these helpfiles.
We’ve no idea how well this will go 🙂
