    No beta testing start date has been announced yet. The game is not yet in Alpha Testing. It is currently in Pre-Alpha Testing.

    ... Exactly, well said and once we get a better idea of how pre-alpha works out, we will know how far away Alpha is and be able to set a date, then once we get Alpha under way we will know how long it will take to get the game ready for Berta and be able to set a date for that but there is no way humanly possible to predict the future and even give rough estimates, people just take them as fact and hold us to those dates and it will be unlikely that we will be able to accurately meet any rough deadline set now.

    Pre-alpha is soon, we are working out butts off to get the game ready for that amount of people and getting everything into the game that we need tested, once it is ready, we will announce it with plenty of warning for people to take holidays/time off etc. as previous stated. ;)

    I swear I heard from some stream over PAX weekend that Alpha might be started around Dec this year and beta next year....Trying to track down the source. Or maybe I just dreamt up that info...

     

    EDIT: This came across discord and was stated this was mentioned at the Aradune community panel at PAXEast. Alpha by end of year and beta next year.

    Think we need to ask Kilsin who "Berta" is...or maybe that's just his Aussie pronunciation of "Beta"  hehehehe

    Taken from the VoT write-up on Pax East:

     

    Brad announced planned timeframes for Alpha & Beta, should they be ready!

    Alpha - End 2018

    Beta - 2019

     

    Edit: I see Naelyan beat me to it.

    You must know the old saying from the Forces  ‘Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”.  Take the time to get it right, I would rather it be well crafted than rushed xx

    Did Brad say end of 2018 or did he say by the end of 2018? That one word makes a huge difference - it holds out hope that maybe he was thinking of earlier in 2018 but quite properly didn't want to be too commital.

    Exact words: "toward the end of the year."

    Thanks. Better than at the end of the year but not as good as before the end of the year.

    ((counts angels dancing on the head of a pin it is about as useful as overanalyzing this))

    Not Alpha, just pre-Alpha
