    Hi Everyone,
    I just made a donation this morning and went to login but was unable to.
    I'm very excited to get logged on and check it out!
    However when I went to log on for the first time this morning..
    I got a message that says "The server is only allowing internal developments at this time..."
    Is there a certain time of the day that is blocked out for dev?
    What time will I be able to log in to play?

    Thanks

    Welcome to the game and to the community starlight849. The game is still in development and opened only for a weekend near the end of each month.

    PS: Net was quicker :)

    I started on AOL Legends. Played off and on there for years in different guilds.

    Ended up on Atlantic in the VIP guild right before I quit. Probably played off and on about eight years. Quit for good in 2007/2008 ish

    So, have I missed how many releases they are looking to have before they begin Alpha? Are we expecting the game to then launch next year? Any idea of when next year?

    Welcome aboard Starlight849 - it's shaping up to be an awesome game, and the community is fabulous! Anything you don't know, or need help with, just ask! There will always be someone along very soon to help!

    Lendrick - welcome also! That is a good question - no answer yet. The short answer is that the game will be released "when it is ready" and most of us here wouldn't have it any other way. I have heard talk that they hope to have the game in beta by the end of the year - ie, it may be up permanently. Do NOT set your watch by that though - there is much development that still has to happen. The best "guess" is a release sometime next year.

    The only thing I know is that there are many here who are eagerly awaiting the day when the portal to New Britannia opens for good!

    Welcome Starlight. Happy to meet you

    and @Lendrick Devs have said they won't release until we say the game is ready but that later in the year the game should be open for longer times to play.

    ***cheers everyone*** :)
