Closed beta testing has begun. The server is up, the client is on the download page, and anyone who wants to help us break it is welcome to.
This is a test rather than a launch. Characters, items and where you left off are saved and survive a restart, but we may have to wipe progress before the world opens to everyone. Nothing you earn now is guaranteed to carry over.
How to take part: - Download the client from the download page. It is one file, Android only, 32-bit ARM. - Open it, tap the screen, and type an account name. - Leave the password field empty or put anything in it. It is not checked. - Your characters are saved under whatever account name you typed.
A word about that missing password, because it matters more than it sounds. The server reads the field and ignores it, so the account name is the whole of your identity here: anyone who types your name gets your characters. Pick something nobody would guess and keep it to yourself. Checking a credential properly is written but not yet wired into the login path, and it is a beta job we have not finished.
A Groot ID is not needed to play. It signs you in on this site and records a pre-registration for the full launch. The game itself has never heard of it.
What works today: the maps, the monsters, combat, loot and experience, inventory and skills, the NPCs with their shops and quests, the daily reward wheel, the message boards, and chat with everyone else in the world.
Not in yet: parties, guilds, trading between players, the auction house, storage, mail, refining and crafting, and instanced dungeons. Those are the next jobs.
If something breaks, tell us where you were and what you did. That is the whole point of a beta, and it is the most useful thing you can send us.
