It's a whole new world....... err...wait.. was that the little mermaid????? o.O
I claim Aquaman! Mwuhahaha.. that's right.. all your fishies belong to me! 
Though this is a 2 dimensional game, so don't see how they will be able to have anything to involves depth such as flying and swimming either one. 
@TrueCrimsonFTW said in Species:
l species or phoenix species would be c
I am quite sure we won't be able to fly in the game, so I would say a pretty definite no to being able to have a flying race.
We will have boats, so an aquatic race I suppose is possible. Though again, I would doubt it.
And there you go. Problem tended to 
I like the idea of christmas, and everyone giving me all their best gear as gifts
That seems to be an ongoing bug they have with the system. @Prometheus and/or @Specter will be able to take care of that for you. I just tagged them so that they see this message sooner
There is PvP but not the PvP that will be in place during release. Currently its Factional PvP with no looting. You sign up to be one of four factions at any city and then you can go fight people in the other 3 factions.
You are able to build a house, build any blueprint that your governor has placed down, or build any blueprint that you place down.
You will be able to craft multiple items and enchant them.
You will be able to see the entirety of one whole map on Syndesia called Myr, which may or may not have any Trolls on it. (Though it does have spiders, undead, goblins, wolves, bears, deer, rabbits, foxes, treants, wisps, sproutlings, elementals, horses, etc) with lots of trees, rocks, grass and plant life which most is able to be interacted with.
You will be able to "Tame" horses for mounting *with your butt on their back, not on the wall and not...err...well... any other way ;wink )
Basically everything that has been pre-released and is in the news articles for this testing phase.
Usually you will run through the entire content of the game within a matter of day(s). The rest is just hanging out, testing specifics to try to "break" the system, helping late comers, and playing with friends.
If you are unsure, its best to just wait for the test to start and then either try to win one of the trillion tickets that will be given out for free or wait for them to open it up to the general public at the end of the testing cycle.
@Birthright said in new test?:
last?
2nd half of this month, so in about 2 weeks. And last we heard it will last around 1 month.
Also, I was asking the question as nothing more than a conversation starter for us to talk about while at the same time letting the developers know how we are leaning (since they read these forums) in the event that they happen to find extra time on their hands to actually put some of the "optional" pieces into code.
@Razvan said in october when?:
ber right now here, and so is in
yup... so two more weeks to go before we can get the next alpha! test
Alpha Tests are only up for a few days to a month at a time because the game is in the early stages of development, it is by NO MEANS a fully playable game. It will be glitchy, there will be very limited to none Quality of Life aspects of the game (Like in the last three tests, we literally had to run everywhere taking sometimes up to an hour of boring running to get to a location), and only specific aspects of the game will be available. Alphas are for us to test the first implementations of what the devs stick in for "testing". Then we can leave feedback on what we think of the process as well as what errors we found in their coding. This helps to improve the game quality at "RELEASE" time. In a nutshell, Alpha is EXTREMELY buggy and VERY LIMITED, Beta's are LESS BUGGY and HAVE MORE CONTENT. So the reason why it is only a month, is cause that's all the infrastructure that is currently set into place, its covers more than enough time to finish the content (which is usually a day or two at most), and allows us enough time to test it, for the devs to make patches, and us to test it some more.
What do we get from having bought the packages? We get to help "develop" the game in a sense. The devs use our input to determine how the game plays in many aspects. We get bonus "cosmetic" things such as titles, skins not available at release, extra characters to use, and experience to start us ahead of the rest upon beta and release time. However, the main reason for us to buy the packages is to help fund the developers to bring about the release of the game, and live through all the lovely stress that comes from anticipating the next alpha test phase of the game
Yes, Prometheus said the other races wouldn't be available until sometime in Beta.
Specter said it will be the second half of October for the alpha test to start.
So basically none of the classic Tolkien races which D&D extended and the guidelines that the guys at Fractured are mostly following
Though, I do think that Orcs should be more of a brown or brownish green than a goblin green. And definitely not human looking.
Yes.. be sure to post daily to rack up those Foundation points!
It's interesting to know that you wouldn't mind being mounted by your friends, however, sadly, the devs have already claimed that players turned four legged won't be mountable
