    Alpha pledges are invited to join us for a test session, this Saturday, January 27th at 10AM PST. (-8 GMT). Details will be emailed to eligible pledges later today.


    Things to note:
    1. This is a test of our latest update and system upgrade. Expect bugs and bumps.
    2. The test will run for 24 hours.
    3. You may choose the server you play on, so feel free to coordinate with friends. Servers will lock and become unavailable when full, so join early if server choice matters to you.
    4. PA testers will be able to play on these servers, but please know that if a PA tester rolls up a toon on one of the additional (non-PA) servers, that character will not be available after the test session.

    Keep an eye out here for further information as it rolls out.

    Exciting! I'm glad we didn't have to wait long.

    Saw the email but the patcher doesn't seem to be allowing logins, can't even download the game yet.

    Yay!  Can't wait.  Looking forward to playing with the friends I made during last test session as well as meet new ones.  :)

    The email has a date and time on it, and today isn’t that day

    Edit: Thank you for the extended run. I had a great time! I sincerely appreciate your decision to extend. I honestly believe you have an alpha-ready game to leave up and running most of the time. Seeing is believing and the game runs great. Let er run and get some subs! 

    Shout out to Aegon to being the first (only?) to reach Level 9.

    ***When the time comes*** will the patcher I used for the December stress test allow me to patch the new version, or do I need to re-install a new ClientLauncher? I would assume the persistent pre-Alpha servers use the same launcher and I'm all good to fire it up when it's time and let it patch...?

    ATM, if you played or Downloaded the Client launcher in Dec '23 you are all good to fire it up when it's time and let it patch.

    And if I just bought a new rig? I think I might just have to try preloading every few hours. They'll unlock the servers soon enough.

    You can just run clientlauncher and it will update the patcher and then patch the game files.

    How big is the game client? Not having been able to do the December one it would have been nice to be able to download the client ahead of time.

    Fresh new pledger and I have a question.  Got all logged in, registered and stuff.  Doesn't seem the patcher allows to specify where to install.  Is that correct or did I miss something?

     

    Nevermind, I am a retard.  If  I had actually read the welcome stuff, I would have figuerd it out. :(

    I can login and see the servers list. Are all of these available to Alpha, or only specific ones?

    Pre Alpha testers are always able to log in during testing sessions. Today's session is one we invited alpha testers into.

    You can log into any of those you wish as they are available. Just make sure to remember the name of the server you chose so you can find your character when you log out and come back

    I can log in but the select realm shows that "No realms are available!" and it is now 10:46 PST. Any advice?

    Try going to https://www.pantheonmmo.com/download/ and replacing the patcher.
