- Alpha content
- Levels 1 to 15 as a human or Ithreni (court elf) in the Concordat: Warrior, Priest and Mage. Humans can choose all three classes; Ithreni can choose Priest or Mage. Explore Whitmere, Lanterford Vale and Lanterhall. Since the night of 29/30 October, 40 new quests in seven local packs have joined the existing quest chains. Quests and the event in Brinescar grant reputation with Lanterhall. Alongside inns and selected home kitchens, you can enter training rooms, the lockkeeper’s house in Reedhouse, the training outpost and shop in Lanterford, and Lanterhall’s armoury and mage house. Lamp and Ledger has an upper floor and a cellar. Slackwater Mine is the five-player dungeon. Weapon and defence skills improve through use, and 48 new items for levels 1 to 15 come as quest choices and boss loot.
- Further updates up to 30 October
- NPC daily routes have been corrected: no jumps in the checked runs, and stuck townsfolk can find their way again. Light positions have been corrected, and lights without a visible source and duplicate lights removed. Mages conjure food and drink, item rarities have a new colour order with rank notches, area spells need line of sight and directions are graded. The new gameplay video runs for 2:30 minutes, with a 15-second preview.
- Realms
- The alpha includes Haven and One Life. Start on Haven; One Life follows after the first alpha month. Deaths there are permanent. A death is reversed only for a proven server error at the team’s discretion.
- Progress
- Bugs, restarts or wipes can erase saves, characters, items and progress in whole or in part. Haven may be reset between test phases. One Life is reset only if a data error has distorted deaths, with advance notice. The alpha agreement governs these rules.
