UPDATE - MARCH 3rd - 6:50 pm Eastern / 4:50 pm Pacific - It appears that Camelot Unchained has officially kicked off its alpha phase of development. As of this writing, about 170 players have logged in and the team is encouraging all alpha testers to head on into the game to give it a try!
Check it out on the Camelot Unchained Twitch.tv channel.
The path to the beginning of the Camelot Unchained alpha continues tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3rd. Thanks to MMORPG.com user will75, we know that the team will be on Twitch.tv during a planned stress test of the game servers in an effort to see if improvements to the game client's stability have been effective. During the event, developers plan contests, chat with the development team and a live look at the work that's going into getting the Camelot Unchained alpha underway.
The live stream will open up at 10:00 a.m. Eastern / 7:00 a.m. Pacific and if the stress test proves successful, the alpha will likely kick off at the end of the day.
I’m truly touched by what I’ve read…and you folks who have been following us since the Kickstarter know that when I say something like that, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. As usual with me, it is more than just words. Part of the proof for that will come in the little surprise that some of our IT folks have been testing for the last few weeks. We’ll talk about it more tomorrow, but it is just one of the ways that I and CSE can say thanks to our Backers. You folks have earned this surprise.

Get ready to bow down to the Arthurians!
HIB for life!! I...I mean, TDD for life!
So basically yay, I gotta pay over $200 to get into this thing tommorow?
NO THANKS!
Enjoy the integrity stress tests for over $200 bucks and HOPEFULLY Alpha at the end of the day.
It's actually $250, I'm good you guys let me know how the integrity testing goes...
If you would have supported it from the start you would not have had to pay $200.
My question is...
what is there to do right now in alpha? Ive got the money to support because i wanna help but i'm curious as to what they've got going on.
that's for a simple reason:
they don't want the avarage joe in their game by now, they wanna have people who can handle some bugs and won't go full metal on them as soon they encounter one.
back in the days those alphas were populated by "friends and family" (as blizzard used to call it), or "internals".
by inviting dedicated players to the closed alphas, they a) get REAL testers and b) some more money to fund their game.
seems legit to me.
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
However, if you look at ANY Alpha Forum you see the same people complaining about unfinished stuff that can't handle bugs. To me it looks like just those people have the money to buy into these "exclusive" access deals.
Funny how that works...
Well its that high to stop everyone buying into it and flooding the servers.. they dont need those kind of numbers at the moment.
I am sure later in development the price will go down..
Things so far shown today.
Ability creator, in game footage, while basic footage not the full server information. and the first CU sounds.
