    Just wondering where the game stands right now.  I was a knights pledge about 3 years ago and was wondering if i am able to play in the early access yet?

    Not yet. Knight's Pledge gives you Alpha access and the game is currently about to enter the second phase of Pre-Alpha testing. There's no ETA for Alpha yet, but you will be notified when the time comes. Also, I feel obligated to point out that it is not really "early access." It's dedicated testing with the purpose of finding bugs and improving the game.

    Also, the most recent newsletter, that came out this week, has a great update on the current state of the game.  Getting closer everyday!

    To follow up on the early access point. Some people use early access as meaning the ability to play characters that can still be played after the game is released. Getting a head start.

    Unless VR changes its collective mind that won't happen with Pantheon - everyone will start equal and pre-alpha, alpha and beta characters will all go bye-bye.

    Many of us will be able to reserve names but it is generally expected that this will have nothing to do with any phase of testing - it will just be early access to the name reservation function. Though possibly it will involve creating characters before release but without being able to play them until release. These are purely opinions there is no real information out yet on this it is too early.

    And through the progress of Pre-alpha,  Alpha and Beta...character wipes are not at all unusual.    Which means starting over.    So don't fall too in love with your character in the early stages of TESTING.  :)

     

    Testing is not early access.
