Pre-Alpha testing is currently underway for those who are lucky to be able to participate. The servers will be up for character creation and some initial adventuring. While you can no longer pledge to participate in the Pre-Alpha, you can still (and should) pledge to help the game's development out and get some in-game items as well.
Our team is deep into the final stages of preparation for the next round of Pre-Alpha testing as I write this, and will be opening the servers for initial character creation on the day this newsletter is published, so this a truly exciting time for all of us here. We know our internal excitement is easily matched by that of the community, because your feedback, support and words of encouragement are the fuel that keeps us running every day.
