    That said, someone else pointed out that these six-week seasons align with agile development structure and are something that the VR team has undoubtedly determined they're confident they can supply some form of content in that timeframe for the foreseeable future.

    Yup, that's what I noticed as well and I'm all good with.  Sprints and UAT.

    Yeah this exactly.  I'm surprised by the change, but to be honest it makes great sense for testing for a variety of reasons.  It gives them a perfect ramp up of player activity with a week of no activity between each season for them to bring stuff down patch it, etc. before the next slow ramp up of population.  And the first groups are more conditioned to accept disruptions, etc. if there are last minute bugs for them to work out after patching.

    Pretty sure this is referring to update seasons/testing builds

    a few things seem a little strange or done differently here to me as well, but I think it'll be ok

    Depending on your pledge tier, you will get SOME gametime per each development 'season', with VIP's/big $$$ having near-constant access down to us lowly supporters getting the last week of the season to poke around (stress test)

    Is there a post somewhere that says what the old name's of pledges are under this new, VIP, Champion, Supporter format? I have a Keeper's Pledge from back in the day but I'm not finding any posts that say what that might fall under, if any.

    First and easiest, click on your forum name. It will take you to your profile. In the panel on the left, it will show your 'User Level'. That corresponds to your access level for the newly announced testing access.

     

     

     

    I am just posting here to be able to click on my forum name :) Thank you Jothany

    Knight's Pledge has Champion access.



    Hey, just checked in this morning, thanks for the update and reply. Looking forward to the upcoming months.

    You have to create your own new account for the Visionary Realms website login, and then another separate account for the Pre-Alpha key if you just got that as well, once you're within the VR login/website it'll ask you to link/create a pre-alpha account.  So you'd have the forum login, VR login, and pre-alpha login.

     

    Also just FYI since I did it earlier, the key requires the dashes, and make sure you sign the NDA and all that before you click submit ;) .

    Can we look forward to a pvp server in a future season ?

    Totally pumped about possibly no server wipes.  That will be cool.  Might actually get a character and crafting up to decent levels before they wipe it.

    I don't know if it's reinventing the wheel or something, but at least few wipes will allow me to delve in gameplay  and crafting here and there, at some point.

    Thank you

    The Keeper's Pledge had Beta Access, so you have Supporter's access.

    You can play this Sat the 10th for 24 hours because that is open to all pledges.

    After that, your next access will start on March 23 for a week.

    Welcome to Terminus!
