We’re pleased to share that we plan to open the server this today at 4-6pm EST.

- This will be a soft release of the Beta stage of development: Over the last few months, we’ve prioritized getting the server up and running, but that has meant sacrificing some depth to the features. Guilds has its mainstay features in place, but we’ve left plenty of room to develop and evolve those features, as well as implement new ones along the way. So when you join and if you wonder why there isn’t a spectrum of features with equal depth behind them, that’s why.

- Support: The main method of getting support with be via discord tickets for now. Whether that’s reporting a bug or player, you needing help in-game, on the website or discord, a #support ticket is the place to go. Places not to go: staff DMs, public chat in-game or general discord channels. Make a ticket → get your problem solved. We will have a more streamlined system in place later on

- Keeping things simple: One of the key values we want to promote is simplicity. From looking at other similar style servers, a big observation was how complex/new-user unfriendly they were. Whether that’s in the form of too punchy interfaces or complicated mechanics, we have the firm belief that keeping things simple is the way forward. That way, players understand what they’re playing, which makes the experience more enjoyable. As is the case with everyone: if you start something new and don’t really grasp or understand it, the likelihood is, you’re going to leave and not try it again.

- Inevitable bugs: There will be bugs and aspects that either won’t work properly or as intended. In the case that you find one, make a ticket in #support with clear details on what the bug is, how it occurs etc. The more information you give us the better chance we have of fixing it.

It’s been two years of hard (and sometimes relentless) work. Many of us have sacrificed time from our own lives, such as working on projects during irl job working hours, taking days off, sitting in front of a pc for 16 hours for the last eight weekends - the list goes on. With that considered, please remain polite and respectful through what will continue to be a slightly stressful process of the beta release.
