New 8Realms Closed Beta server!
UPDATE: After some teething troubles, we've wiped the server and we're back up.
To all our 8Realms Closed Beta testers,
First, a heartfelt thanks to all the Closed Beta testers who have come this far with us. The game wouldn't be the same without you, and we hope you'll stay with us to test our final Closed Beta server,Napoleon.
To reiterate, this server is intended for the intensive testing of new features, so it'll be subject to frequent tweaks and updates, and it may not reach the end of the game. This is our final Closed Beta server, but this is not the final play experience. You can learn more in this week's dev blog.
You'll need a new Closed Beta key to play on Napoleon. The beta key is:
NERO
