Discussion Beta FAQs

Mike Wass said:
The reason why it's taking so long is because we have a list of things that we set as requirements for us to deploy Beta. Only when we have each of these requirements met will you see the doors to Beta open.

When we closed down Alpha, it was because we had the todo list down to a reasonable amount. We knew that we can finish that up within a certain amount of time. The reason why Alpha closed "early" is because we had to devote more resources to monitoring the servers, etc, when they could be working on getting Beta ready to be released. In the outlook, it is making Beta release faster.

Another issue with Alpha is that we had to constantly be putting updates onto it, taking even more resources from the team. Don't get me wrong, adding features and such is nice on Alpha, but we had exhausted all of the features that we wanted to have in Alpha. This left us with little to nothing left to add to it. If we hadn't closed Alpha, we seriously would still be in v1.14.

We haven't been slacking during these two months. When Beta is released you're going to fall out of your chair when you see the release notes. There was A LOT of work done to the game. A LOT. Our list is getting smaller every day, and currently only has a few things left that need to be finished. Some community members have even accidentally spotted what one of the items is.

Hope this cleared up some confusion!

Does this mean, when beta comes, the game will have a lot of content and hardly any lag? Because if that's the case, waiting is not a problem for me! ;):excited: Also great job on the game!!!!

Soooo can we have a estimate time frame
 
Well said by Mike and everyone else here. Awesome to hear about the progress being made, and best of luck to the staff working so hard on everything! Hope everyone can be patient, because I'd say the wait is going to be well worth it ;)
