– 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.
