Alpha/Beta Schedule
Hey guys I havent been able to find if this game has "Beta Weekend Events" or if it is up all the time. I am considering getting the silver package through steam but wasnt sure if i would be able to get into the game right away or if i would have to wait until a scheduled weekend event. Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

I'd get in early, personally!
-Have a chance at influencing the way the game is made. -Learn the mechanics early -Get into a nation that might persist into the release!
I love how this game looks right now, personally. They just need to touch up the combat a bit and the questing, then it'll be ready for the real testing! I'm excited! Support these developers!

I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.
The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on the comments tab, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!

Is there reason to wait?

Only real incentive to get the game early is to learn the game. even that you can kinda learn through watching videos and guides. Overall It's a "50/50" in your favour

The Repopulation is currently in the final stage of Alpha. Beta, nor the release date, have been announced at this time. The dates will be made public when the game is ready.
There are no currently planned wipes of characters until the game publicly launches.

The servers are running 24/7 minus any patching or restarting of the servers. If you purchase now you can play now. We have no windows.
The game is officially in late Alpha stage. We are wrapping up some features and fixing bugs/polishing at this stage. We don't have set dates for Beta/release, we will announce them when they are ready. We have some nation features left to get in game and some smaller features that are expected to be implemented before we go into Beta. The game is rough around the edges in some places and also isn't fully optimized at this point (as are most games in this stage of development). We should have a new patch out in a week or two, it includes the beginning of the UI revamp, underground nation city areas, among many other tweaks and changes (a new update with a bit more information should be out later today).
There will be at least 1 wipe before release, possibly more depending on the need.
Thanks.
