为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“The game is fun to play in it's current state. The world size, missions, castle development and all other PVE aspects of the game will take a player many hours to exhaust, depending on player skill and aggressiveness. However, because it is at its core a multiplayer game, with player to player interaction being a vital part of the content, a strong player base needs to form around it, which at this time, honestly, does not exist.

Additionally, there are several features, mostly related to player interaction (for example, player cooperation) are not yet there, or have very basic implementations.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“The game will be in early access until the player cooperative mode is implemented.

In terms of estimated time, that can be no sooner then September 1st 2020 up to the end of 2020.”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“Players will be able to associate with each other in a system similar to the feudal system. There will be lords and vassals, with a player being lord for some and being a vassal to another at the same time.

Battles, which are now simple one vs one engagements will allow multiple players, or entities, to fight on each side, with players joining in as the fighting develops.

Numerous additional lord skills will be added, with the planned army sizes being about 6-10 times larger then in the early access version.

The magic and spell casting system, which now only contains very few basic spells, even if still useful and fun to use, will see a great increase in number of spells available and also scaling with lord experience.

Finally, the game is about the player which holds "The capital city", which is only one castle. This castle does not exist, because it would not be fair for it to be available until a strong player base is formed.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“The TLDR : Fully working game, but with limited content and no player cooperation.

The PVE, or single player content, should be enough for many hours of gameplay. As a reference, the people testing the game need about 20-25 hours to burn through the game. That is to complete each mission at least once, conquer the best available castle and build a level 5 blacksmith there.

Players can fight each other, there are castles for players to fight over and also dedicated PVP maps.

There are a little over 350 armor and weapon pieces available, not counting those that are procedurally generated on various missions in the game.

There are 45 lord skills available.

The magic and spell casting system is just a foundation, with only 9 unique spells.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Short answer, slightly different if at all.

The game uses a system of microtransactions with premium currency linked to each player account. When purchasing the game, the player will receive a certain amount of this premium currency. This amount is, during early access, worth up to 20 times more then the price of the game. As the game gets closer to being finished, this amount will be slightly lowered.

Also, being part of the early access pretty much means you get a head start in the game.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“Being an online MMORPG, the community feedback weighs heavily in all future game development, both by direct feedback or by us studying the in game player behavior.

Apart from changing the core game concepts, all ideas and requests will be very seriously analyzed and considered.

For this purpose, players can post their ideas in the special section of the forum:
