The Wonders of Alpha

– Its been a while since our last blog post, but don’t worry, we haven’t been slacking off. We are VERY close to allowing early access to everyone. First off, lets start with the basics, accounts. We recently said that we would provide a tool that would allow you to sign up, however that has since changed. You will be able to sign up through the game client itself. Additionally we have been fixing tons of server exploits and crashes so that when we get into a public early release state that everyone will be able to enjoy the game without having to worry about server crashes.

Today is finally the day! The day that we finally finished Raven Server, a network to allow fellow Zeph’s/Players like yourself to help out in the fight against the Ravens. While the members at the guild have been working really hard to make this happen, we still do not have an adequate build of Raven Runner at this time to allow you to jump right into the action. We know that many of you are waiting in anticipation for the game and have arranged that the guild start allowing you to register accounts. This tool that will allow you to register will be ready on August 9th, 2017.  With this tool launching in a matter of days we have also asked the Zeph Council to provide some guidelines of how your registration information will be used. They call it a “Privacy Policy” and “Terms of Service”. We recommend everyone skim through it if you’re unsure whether your breaking the rules, or just use common sense if your too lazy to read it.  As for the website design, we will constantly be making revisions to the website to make it better reflect the game more accurately.

Until Then,

See you on Wednesday!
