I like the idea. I have more or less given up on betas and early releases though. Hopefully this one works out and makes it to release for us MMO fans.
maladen?!?!!
Long time no argue man. Where you been?
Still no alpha invite.
Why is the game using bloom (in its screenshots) like it's 2012?
I didn't play a lot of this over time - by the time I got an alpha invite, pretty much every plot of land was spoken for by someone or another, and there was very little direction of what to do. Combat was hard due to desync and animation lag... the usual kind of glitchiness of a very early stage craft/survival game. Hopefully it progressed a lot since then!
Never did get a beta invite so not paying for something like this unless I get a bit of taste before taking a full bite.
Looks like they have now opened up applications for the Beta:

Closed beta is scheduled for April 2020. Applying won't guarantee an invite. Pre-ordering the game gets access, however.
Looks like release is then aimed at May 2020.
Still feels odd writing that date...
Well, I signed up with 2 Amazon accounts so we will see.
The game looks beautiful and sounds interesting but so did Atlas before it was released.
Made it to level 12 and joined the Syndicate faction. I think I am going to enjoy this game. Hopefully we can get a GWJ group started.
This is currently active? I thought they shut it down to rework it.
Closed beta started this week.
I’m enjoying it, but it seems like they just went from copying a generic survival game to copying Elder Scrolls Online. I’ve only put in a couple hours though.
Ah, I must have skimmed the email, I thought this was lasting until the 25th.
Getting excited. Streamers and press recently got to try the first dungeon with over leveled toons, with most of them saying that it looked neat but was too easy, while IGN complained that the first boss was bullet hell.
Gawd, apparently the conversation is all about the cash shop now. Folks are mad about boosts and such. So what? "Quality of life" probably means a bottomless storage of some sort.
I don't expect the boosts to be at launch. One shall see.
Arise! Closed Beta starts July 20th, release is currently scheduled for August 31st. If you pre-order before midnight PDT July 17th you'll get an invite on July 19th, otherwise it may take up to 48 hours. Beta characters are going to be wiped.
Any word on whether they’re still honoring the free “preorders” from when this was supposed to be a F2P game? I got an email about it a year or two ago but I don’t see anything more current now that release is getting closer.
I mean, I don’t mind actually buying but, you know, free stuff.
I WILL NOT FALL FOR PREORDERING AN MMO

I'm pretty sure you can pre-order it on Amazon and they won't charge you until the game releases on 8/31. Which should mean you can pre-order it now and try out the closed beta, but if it's not your thing cancel before you get charged. My Amazon email said I won't be charged until my item (the game) is released.

I don't think this was ever going to be F2P. It's as Propa mentioned and you could order it and not be charged till it launches.
When the game was initially announced it was intended to be F2P and they briefly opened up “preorders” on the amazon storefront that was basically just clicking an “add this to my library” button. Some time after they switched to the current pricing model they sent out emails to those of us who had “preordered” it saying that they still intended to honor the “preorders” with free keys at release. That was like a year or two ago, there’s been no word since then.
EDIT: found this old article about it.
Like I said above, I don’t mind buying it, but I don’t want to if I’m still going to get a free copy.
I just preordered, just in case. If worse comes to worse and I can’t refund it I can always give away the extra key here.
