When do the developers anticipate it will come out of early access and properly release?

The wording used by the devolopers was "it will be released this summer". Quite vague since summer in their country is usually 3/4 months.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for it.

Kinda creepy how the avatars always keep their eyes facing the player no matter which direction they moving on screen.

Does it have much of a story? If it does is it text or VO based?

Whats the payment model look like, P2W free, F2P, cosmetic shop etc?

How deep is the classes/combat? Easy to learn, hard to master, basic, or steady build up to some combat depth?

Does it have public world events? World Bosses etc?

Just watched a video on this game, have they made jumping puzzles more playable? Jumping seems really buggy.

I'm trying to think of any other commercial enterprise that has "early access".

- your new car is almost finished, you can pay and drive it now, but it only makes left turns right now, we'll patch that later

- Sir, your steak is cooking now, would you like to pay in advance?

- our latest CPU chip runs almost perfectly, except 10% of the time it gets the wrong answer and crashes. You can buy it now though.

- we've almost finished shooting the movie, want to pay now and watch some of it?

- your surgeon is about to graduate from medical school, but you can have him operate now for a discount

Fully released AAA games are now all early access!

I can think of one, when new golf courses are built sometimes they will let members or even the general public play for a reduced rate on the holes which have been finished, say the first 9 while work continues on the second 9.

They even pre-sell memberships with large initiation fees long before ground has even been broken, the first crowd funding model I suppose.


There are other examples, I think some condominiums projects pre-sell units before the building or all buildings are completed, in fact I've read horror stories of folks who actually moved into the lower floors of a building only to have the developers go bust leaving the construction incomplete.

Some of those folks had to move out with no compensation as I recall.

-The main story kind of gets you to around level 10-11, so theres that. I don't know if they plant to extend it or keep it short, so one can focus on the other stories in game.

-Buy to play, no cosmetic shop planned at the moment

-So far it has 3 main classes, that then upgrade into addional 2 tiers, with every tier giving you a choice between 2.

-A few world bosses, and save the town kind of dynamic events

Fire all your questions!

What is the player cap?

By that, I mean specifically what is the maximum number of players that can occupy the same virtual environment?

What sort of progression is there?

I'm mostly looking at whether it will be vertical, or horizontal, progression. If it is vertical, what are the power gaps like? If, by some miracle its horizontal, how does it work?

What sort of roles are there?

The game lists itself as an MMORPG. What roles are available to players? Combat roles? Economic roles? Personality roles?

There no specific roles, apart from classes. But one can decide to adopt a specific set of playstyles.
When its comes to progression, is it not a sandbox, it has quests and levels. The question that is yet to be answered, is how much horizontal progression can we expect when we reach the end game. Unfortunately, that question can't be answered at the moment.

There seems to be one server located in EU. I don't know if there will be more regional servers or they are adopting the 1 server architecture.

I watched the trailer, and, well..... No, Thank you!
