The wait is over. The latest 8Realms adventure is underway and a new world awaits your hand. The epic battle of Genghis Khan and runaway victory of Julius still resonate in the 8Realms halls of fame, but the path of Alexander is yours to define. What will you and the other powerful Empires make of this new world? Now is the time to take what you have learned and become the next great champion of 8Realms.
Over the past week the beta keys have been released to the lucky few. To be a part of this new race for glory be sure to Request a Beta Key and enter the fray! Remember that every day from Friday 22nd July to Wednesday 17th August we will be giving away a brand new iPod Touch to an empire on Alexander (View competition FAQs and T&Cs).
Champions do not have time for hesitation – enter the race for Alexander’s glory now! Log into your account and select the "Start a New Empire" option at the top of the screen to create a new Empire on Alexander. Once you've done this, you'll be able to use the drop-down to switch between your Empires whenever you like.
Good luck Leaders, the 8Realms Beta’s success is thanks to you.
