Alpha test "soon"

[kazaran]

We've basically been in "Alpha" since the launch of the game.

Alpha will be non real stress testing, that comes with a large volume of real connections.

Current players, and most likely those with Legendary status will get first priority, with others added soon after for main beta actual game play testing (post data transfer).

THe alpha stage will be new random generated accoutns to test base connectiosn from various locations while convertion of current players takes place and is migrated to the new server system. You wouldn't be playing your current character in any alpha form but the beta.

The comet is approaching and near, we've been warned, more news to follow.

Popcorn will be sold at all camps during fire storms.

This again?
Was Photoshop 5 an alpha for photoshop 6?
Was Windows 7 an alpha for Windows 8?
Is all your software just an alpha version of the next version to inevitably come out?

No! Its just an earlier version. Version 2.0 is exactly what it looks like, a major version update to 1.x. 1.x isn't an alpha version or a beta version just an earlier release.
